Maybe Oolite did change it for you. See the progress topic.

Paying attention to the progress thread is strongly recommended if you’re using nightlies or custom builds, by the way.

*looks forward to OpenGL vendor and renderer report as per the linked post*

Should the Progress thread be a sticky - it can actually end up quite far down the list of most recently posted to threads on any given day...

Sticky is probably a very good idea. Also suggest that it is moved to Testing and bug reports, as there are a lot of discussion about errors and problems in the progress thread.
