Build 980 Hotfix

Hey guys

There was a small mixup with the ban flags (people with any history of griefing found themselves permanently banned, a few users found themselves unbanned and promptly continued attacking the game) so that’s been sorted out.

Sorry for the hassle to people who’s expired bans were causing them grief. I guess it’s potentially penance for griefing others :^)

There’s still an issue with people getting disconnected “randomly” and with some servers crashing, we’ll be looking into this tonight, and if it’s not fixed tonight then resuming after christmas.

If you want to help out with the crashes, please run your server through gdb like so:

$ gdb ./KAGdedi
run
(server runs)
(server crashes)
bt full
(post log of the backtrace to us)

That would be a big help, thanks.

Have Fun,

Max/Geti

Make a local database of the nicks that's need to be banned and update it whenever you have to. Now the server must connect to the main database every time someone connects and check if it's ok to proceed.. I have LAG message EVERY TIME that someone connects to my server. Then a few seconds of slow connection to main server and everyone gets disconnected.

You could make it so that a server owner download this with a command and if database is same then no download. But as a developer you know better and I am glad you are working on a solution.

*Christmas is overrated

 

I thought something was wrong when I disconnected every 20 minutes no matter what server I joined.

 

i was thinking it was my roomate torrenting a bunch of shit but im glad this issue is known. its really sucking a lot of enjoyment out of the game right now.

 

Indeed and running a server is not possible really, I am keeping my servers down until this is fixed.

 

hallelujah its fixed
