Thanks Mike. I have to say this RC is a champion here concerning the resources it takes. Firewall works faster than native windows firewall, CPU time and memory are amuzing

 

Is it working on Windows 7 yet?

 

Ok, thanks for the reply.

 

It's so light

 

just installed, rebooted the system and got one BSOD rebooted system again eveything is OK now , RC2 is light and fast

 

when i instaled 3.5.0.3 everything was ok, but when i instal 3.5.0.6 i have BSOD all time and only i can do was system restore from backup ( thank god for Acronis ) after backup i instal 3.5.0.6 and everything was ok so far.

 

Did you install over the top ? Could you tell me what other software is installed - and - if you have the minidump ?

 

Mike off subject a little
but love the graphics on the forum header!! awesome

 

Thanks! It doesn't take much to do it and I think it's a really nice touch. I prefer the Easter one to the Christmas one we did. Trying to decide which of the next holidays we should cover

 

i have instaled 3.0.5.3 ive uninstal it, reboot, then install 3.5.0.6, rebot and windows start then in few seconds i have BSOD, i can only enter in safe mode, i have Avira instaled, i dont have minidump. Now its all okey.

 

Running fine with me. It's nice to see that Windows/Microsoft update issue is fixed!

 

RC2 is running great...I can't get over how light this has become in the last few versions. Great Job!

 

Disregard my post. I re-read Mikes post at the top and my querry was satisfied...

 

Any old L'n'S users who could compare latest OA RC cpu/resource usage on huge network connections (torrent with 1250+ half-opens).

I don't want to start a comparison thread against other firewalls, I'm interested in OA, but I would like to get an idea of how 'light' is the 3.5RC 'light' under really heavy filtering loads - compared to something I know well (which is LnS).

Also, are there any news yet on Windows 7 compatibility plans?


Thanks guys!

Good news everyone!

It looks like OA has finally released the final version of OA v3.5.0.9:

Free version will be available from the download.com in a few days.

 

Where is changelog of the OA?

OA Free -<snip>

This is the final release - http://i39.tinypic.com/1zv6b11.png

 

Thanks for the news, guys. I'll be taking v3.5 for a spin this weekend. However, one question pops up: has the issue with Steam been fixed? I've heard that OA causes some problems with Steam's Game Overlay. Any news on this?

 

We fixed the steam issue yesterday while the release was being rolled out. This meant it could not be tested, and therefore - did not make the release.

I will get an update onto the public beta forum for this - and if all works as planned, we'lll update the release version with a hotfix in a day or so.


Mike

 

Thanks for the heads up, Mike! I'm looking forward to trying it out (the free version, that is -- hope it gets uploaded soon!). The last time I tried OA, as much as I liked it, I had to get rid of it; it caused a terrible slowdown on my Vista's boot up time. I've heard that issue has been taken care of, and with all the good news about how light it is, I'll hopefully be able to keep it this time .

I am really looking forward to this latest
