Yes, confirmed. With rev 105, player data is not lost. Thanks!

Also, the stencil buffer bug which stopped etracer starting has been
fixed in the Fedora 9 X server too.

Bug description:
I upgraded to Fedora 9's mesa/Xserver, under which etracer will fail to start if the "stencil_buffer" option is true. I'm using the r300_dri driver.

Unfortunately, this caused all my high scores to be lost.

I had a quick look at the code, and the problem is that the highscores are saved in handle_system_error/winsys_exit, but they haven't been loaded yet if the failure is from winsys_init/setup_sdl_video_mode during program startup.
