DoD update today 8-13-09. What is in it?

[Quaffer]

Does anyone know what was included in the DoD update?

 

[sfmeepy]

One of them is the fix on the glitch that some peeps can shoot without recoil.

 

[Quaffer]

Good thing that.

 

[Crasher]

His that the reason why pratically all server seem empty ?

 

[KnuckleChild87]

that is the reason, the servers need to download the update before we can play

 

[Seurot]

The biggest reason that it emptied out was because Axis went 20-0 with 8 axis vs 14-16 allies. Got to thank voice chat and Sudden Death for that one.

I'm kind of worried about how the new patch will affect stability though. From talking to an eG member, they seemed to be working out a few bugs with the new patch. Any idea what is going wrong with it at the moment, and a possible ETA on when it may be fixed?

What's recoil?


I don't care, call me a noob

 

[blackdragonzz]

I keep getting a ( Disconnect: The server uses a different server class)

 

[Dot350]

That's weird, I haven't gotten any update...

 

[NuT]

mine didnt update until i tried to start the game then it took a few secs and updated

and recoil is when you fire a weapon and it moves upward (most evident in undeployed mg's or the support class)

 

[malalla]

I keep getting a ( Disconnect: The server uses a different server class)

because the servers arent patched yet they are workin on them right now as kendle said in shoutbox

 

[NuT]

lol somehow johnt is in the server, he looks to be the only one. at least the avalanche server

 

[Dot350]

I haven't gotten any update and it gave me the same thing when I tried to join the Donner server. This is weird.

 

[blackdragonzz]

they are updating servers soon hopefully

 

[Dot350]

Yeah. I think I must have the update since they are giving me the error. Word is they are working on it as we speak.

 

[Cubanboy4]

oooh okay! so thats why dod isnt working, I should have read the forums and did my research on what "class tables" meant before I deleted all my programs

not quite, but really, its a good thing to know....

That update was for May 1, 2009.
Todays update was something else, probably just a glitch because of todays major TF2 update

update problems

Apparently the new update modified the engine headers and it doesn't work with sourcemod. My server is set up just as eGO's are and sourcemod is causing it to crash and reboot in 10 second cycles... disabling sourcemod allows the server to start, but obviously the server is gimped without it.

In other words, they're trying to push a patch but it could be a long night of waiting

For anyone running their own server with sourcemod, rename sourcemod.vdf in the orangebox/dod/addons/metamod folder to sourcemod.vdf.anything and restart the server, works fine.
