Disabling video output

Don't know if it counts as a bug, was wondering if the screen showing the start position of the bots for each round was exacerbating the slight delay each time a round finished.

Man, each time a round finishes it interupts any typing I'm doing. If there is a quick fix for that it would be major league welcome...

In 2.42.9q, I got rid of the initial field paint if the video is turned off.  Not sure this will address your typing issue however.  Is the window focus being stolen or it is just that DB steals a lot of CPU cycles when a round starts?

Window focus being stolen I think. Every time a round ends I have to click on the window I am trying to use to get the cursor back.

Okay.  That's not fixed in 2.42.9q, but I can probably do something about that next drop.

Thanks Eric. It's been like that since the leagues were put into DB so no rush if it's any problem.
