D.A. server patch...coming soon! New server app in the mean

Fri Mar 28, 2003 2:28 am by Tachyon

Hi, got word that there is a patch in development! Here is a few facts about it.

1. They've been this month analyzing the server crashes and cheating problems, and the patch is in development (obviously!)

2. The patch is server-side only, and focuses on stability issues and anti-cheating measures.

3. A lot of the work on it is already done, and should begin beta testing in a week or so.

4. DA will be running a public server for initial testing, then the admin community will help test as well.

5. It should be ready to go in around a month! More details to come as it gets closer.

P.S.
Impecable timing, Gary Bolton.

That is great news!

I can't wait! I've done my best to administer my server and try to keep it cheat free, but the only way I can do that is to be on 24/7 and have ships stored in every system to scan suspected cheaters.

The server admin community, as well as the players, greatly appreciate this news.

Blue Harvest 24/7 Dedicated Server... minus the few minutes when the memory leak takes us down.

I hope they're looking at optimising CPU usages too????

Having seen a server that can handle 64 players yet!

I've been trying to get people to test my server...to see where it starts getting lag.....But no one has helped me.

Anyway....I am personally excited about the patch....It will be nice to be able to play the MP game, and not worry about cheaters.

This is great news!

Let the server admins know when you need testing help, I'll be the first in line!

I'm all over helping test ANY patched servers... simply send me your server address and I'll log in, for at least a half hour - anytime from 6PM to 1AM Pacific.
I'm also availble for longer periods, of course, with a days notice!!!

Also, has anyone else noticed that hostile and friendly map patrol paths do NOT register in MP? I only get the neutrals...

(sorry for the cross post... first post... EVER!!!)

... and then there were none...

Yeah

if they can we need more ships. The eagle is th ebest by far. The sabre and titan turn like bricks. The eagle need competion.

Sat Mar 29, 2003 7:24 pm by Darken

agreed that there should be more ships....
BUT the VERY first thing that should be fixxed, if they were to make a gameplay patch,
is clearly more varied missions and a better economy

Sat Mar 29, 2003 9:08 pm by DarkStalker

What Darken said, both ships and a more advanced economy.. after playing Eve just now Freelancer seems like it's just an arcade shooter.. after all this time in waiting we deserve more from it.

Kill or be killed.

imo
- the static economy needs to change.
- the game life would benefit from slowing down advancement before adding more ships.

i have other ideas but these are most important. Agreed with previous 2 posts.
I still think FL is a great game tho! I just hope that it gets a boost.
