ETQW 1.4 server hotfix patch posted

[TTimo]

The server hotfix [1] that has been available to GSPs for a few days now is available to everyone. You can download it from id's ftp server [2], and hopefully other mirrors will carry it soon.

Also adding the MD5 checksums so you can check you downloaded the right thing:

Note that there is a hotfix for the new demo release as well. You can find torrents for the new demo on id's BitTorrent tracker [3].

Thanks for the heads up.

Is there a change log somewhere?

No, it's a fix for a server crash problem. If you are a server admin, replace the server binary with the hotfix. You don't need this if you are playing online or single player (bots).

hmmm, etqwded.x86 md5sum is exackly the same as in http://community.enemyterritory.com/...9&postcount=27 ....

[Whammo!]

I assume ranked servers are at the mercy of their GSP's to apply this hotfix.

Do you have a version number? This is what I am currently running:

si_version = ETQW 1.4.12335.33045 win-x86 Jan 15 2008 18:38:37

[TTimo]

Our update servers are sending a reply to the old 1.4 server binary poking it into updating, so we are agressively pushing the update. I expect most of the GSPs are running the updated binary at this time.

Will this patch apply "on the fly"? or do we need to restart the server? My servers are not crashing but having lag issues, slow map changes & dropping clients.

[TTimo]

There is no installer, you have to download the zip file and replace the server binary yourself. The update servers are only sending a message and flagging the servers that have not updated yet.

thats cool ... this mean my server is already running with the fix

[shazam]

Merci TTimo

[_KaszpiR_]

hmm i guess the issue was on demonware servers cause the files i'm using now are exackly the same and server is not crashing now.

[boom213]

Is this update necessary for ALL server admins? The only problem I have is that I can't load the server behind a firewall. And that's easy to fix. Just find the right ports.

[ASD]

yes it is
you server will crash without it
your server will spam with a message if you run 1.4 without hotfix

but its easy. just downlad and replace the binary file

And a few other questions:
1. Where do I find the binary file?
2. Which files do I download?
