i haven't heard of any bugs w/ 2.14. questionable routing, like storm's AQ and banelord, was happening w/ 2.12.

I believe people are talking about a bug with 2.14 where they can't select their nations to play the game.

On top of which, it's a bit early for any other bugs to have shown up.

The bogus routing is showing up all over the player - PD commanders not retreating, etc.

can't select nations? there's the problem on sheap's server, but that's unrelated to the patch (sheap is still on 2.12), and has to do w/ him having run out of disk space i think - dunno if there's some easy fix or not. The weird routing is an inherent problem w/ the game I think - no one (at least not me

) seems to really understand all the rout rules - but storm's weird routing examples were on 2.12.

The only game i've played on 2.14, cohen's Tapyrez blitz on |reverend|'s server, has gone flawlessly.

Now, as a general rule, yes - bugs do show up after a bit. However, 2.14 didn't seem to introduce as many changes, beyond fixing the errors in 2.13, and so I would expect has less chance to introduce new ones.

Our Karangame in Sheap server is still down atm, as far as I can tell. Is the whole server down or just one game?

Hi Sheap,

Could you please set the timer for Return of the Rejects to 48 hour no quickhost?
The majority of the remaining players has voted for this.
Thanks in advance.

Just certain games. Two of three I'm in that are hosted there are working, but a Cradle of Zen game has been down for a week or more.

Return of the Rejects:

Server seems to be down since 24 hours now.

Cainehill · #8 September 23rd, 2004, 03:35 PM

All three I'm in on the server are down now.

Exactly. The problems with Sheaps server seem to be just that. Problems with Sheaps server.

Now that Esben already has updated, I suppose Sheap will follow as soon as he finds time.

Besides, if Esben waits with updating because of a dozen games running, that is somewhat understandable. But if nobody wants to update their clients (although you know it is possible to have multiple Versions at the same time), then HOW exactly are we supposed to find the "new gamestopping bug"?.
