In r81, hourglass doe not count anytime you load a savestate if you don't have the hourglass window in focus. This makes the rerecord count lower than what it should be. Has this bug been fixed in later revisions?

I was unaware of this bug, thanks for the report. Added it to my never-ending list of things to look at! For submission, if the count is very inaccurate, set it to 0 in a hex editor, and then explain your estimated count in the submission text and why the count in the file says 0.

This same bug show up on 32 bit XP as well. Also, XP keeps changing the focus to the game window, exacerbating the bug.

I haven't gotten to this bug I'm afraid, been a lot of things for me to do outside of programming recently.

and there's no one else on the dev team? Where do you believe this bug might be,if I chose to try to fix it myself?

I am the most active developer as of now unfortunately. I am trying to be as active as I possibly can but other things keep taking time away. I have been trying to get interest so that others shall join, but it seems rather cold. The bug is surely within the save-state / load-state procedures. It's probably a question of the wrong counter being restored in certain situations. You can always hop on IRC (#hourglass at irc.freenode.net) or PM me if you run into problems, even if I don't have time to develop anything I am on IRC as often as I can and can often answer questions. PMing me also work.
