Ardesco Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 from server to server. Is there any reason for this? Usually, when a new patch comes out for most fps, I see a whole kaboodle of servers updated in a jiffy. But, unfortunately, all my favorite fragging servers have not updated yet =\. So, I've had to find newer places to frag. Any feedback on this problem?
Tarus Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Many of the newbies don't want to switch to the new patch because they lose. They dont' want to give up their "skill". So we are now stuck with half the servers going one way and half the other. Personally I think they should of forced the patch in a way, or at least made "wrong versions" not show up in the server list.
fitzwilliamd Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Many of the newbies don't want to switch to the new patch because they lose. Judging from the numerous current discussions about the viability of 1.03, Tarus' presupposition that server updates are not forthcoming because the operators are 'newbies that lose' is a little outrageous. Give it some time, things will work out for better or for worse. But rest assured, the servers will gradually be updated. Quake servers and other multiplayer games do not have to contend with a patch of this magnitude; Raven has not released a bug fix patch, this is a total overhaul of saber combat. Analogous to Quake 3 Servers being 'forced' to include a patch that changes Rocket Launcher ammunition into spongy round balls that 'smart' when fired point blank at an opponent.
Cedrin Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Tarus, im not a newbie and I sure as hell dont want to switch.
Jasco Smlee Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 ...the dedicated server patches were released a day later than the client patch?
d3vin Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 as a server operator i can tell you my reason for not having a server running the new patch is as Jasco stated. I couldnt start a server without the dedicated server file because the system doesnt have a proper 3D card
Tekken Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Another point to consider is that quite a few servers are 'rented' from game server companies. Which means that most server admins who rent don't have sufficient access to apply the patch; it's done by the server provider..... My clan is waiting for ours to be upgraded....Grrrr.....
BoxHunter Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Yeah, the patch is bomb. But like it's been said already it won't let you into certain games that are still running the older version! Lousey n00bs.

Im sorry, I had just got done reading some posts where a buncha people were complaining that the new patch is dumb. From their replies it sounds as if their main concern was that they are no longer skilled.
