1.4 Has Landed!!!

Submitted by Haklin on Wed, 16/01/2008 - 07:38

Well I win the bet!!!:) 1.4 is finally here and the changes are MASSIVE! Click here to read all the changes. This patch has been a long time coming and it most certainly looks well worth the wait.

See you in the servers!! … After work:(

-Haklin

P.S I’d highly suggest getting the file from a local ISP server. Internode has the file mirrored here. Linux patches are also available on their file server.

UPDATE:
Some people are reporting crashes. This could be due to not having updated punkbuster. Update punkbuster manually here
If your game continues to crash do not try and update it through the auto-updater. Because of the huge patch size its likely packets will get corrupted. Download it manually from the node link above.

Thats got not much spam in it

Submitted by ltmon on Sat, 12/01/2008 - 18:36

We’ve been getting a flood of spam, so I’ve disabled anonymous comments until it either subsides or we put in some kind of captcha or whatever.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

That massive 1.4 news has finally arrived

Submitted by Haklin on Fri, 11/01/2008 - 13:58

A few days ago I mentioned that impending 1.4 news was coming… Well that news finally arrived today. No 1.4 isn’t here however it looks like coming out shortly (wait…you’ve heard that already). Apparently some internal testing found some bugs in the installer,

Our planned roll-out had to be stopped because internal testing turned up issues with the installers that could affect some players. The folks at Activision are trying to get these worked out as quickly as they can – they will let us know as soon as they have a solid estimate for getting the fixes in and tested. We’ll pass that information on to you right away when we get it.

Return to Padman

Submitted by Kazozza on Thu, 10/01/2008 - 23:42

n0mad and I are going to have a crack at Padman tomorrow night, all are welcome to join in.

Those interested should meet in IRC around 8pmish and we’ll give it a whirl. Make sure you’re patched up to version 1.2 (http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?files)

For those of you who are getting bored with QW, this is a good opportunity for something different =)

See you there.

Beer

Submitted by HarassmentPanda on Wed, 09/01/2008 - 21:51

So as I posted anonymously when signing up for GA and as our current rule book says that’s a no-no it also apparently carries with it a infringement notice of one beer per IPX team mate. As I am always willing to make good on owing of beer, I am therefore offering to source beer for our next get together.

Lets think of a date and baby sitting arrangements and get this party started.

GA ET:QW Ladder now in free play mode

Submitted by Fuzz on Tue, 08/01/2008 - 16:46

Despite claiming to be in freeplay mode (can challenge teams, results don’t count) for at least a month now, GA finally decided on a map cycle which apparently now allows free play to actually work. See below for the nice email from GA.

The ET:QW ladder has had it’s map selection options updated.
Teams can now make Freeplay challenges.
Regards,
The GameArena Team

Let me know if you guys want to challenge someone. The team lists are here

Currently all the founders are captains. If we find ourselves playing a match with no founders we’ll add more captains then.

1.4 News coming this week!

Submitted by Haklin on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 10:59

Badman from SD has posted announcing news that extra info on 1.4 is coming in the next few days. I’m predicting a release between the 11th-18th of this month.

Site outage - 6/1/2008

Submitted by Fuzz on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 09:28

There was a short site outage this morning caused by me testing a module update. Everything should be back to normal now.

Leave a comment here if anything weird is still going on.

Also, in the event of a site outage, whenever possible information is available in the chat room (#TeamIPX @ irc.gamesurge.net). If you don’t have an IRC client I suggest getting one now as it beats the hell out of using the java applet. Try trillian or mIRC

Free Games and more

Submitted by Hashy on Thu, 03/01/2008 - 18:55

Thought I would make up a list of some free games to fill up that awful awful spare time!!

www.silkroadonline.net/ Havnt played this one in well over a year now. Think of it as free, cheap,lean World of Warcraft, but without the noobification that is chained to WoW. I played it for a few months. Becomes the same old repetitious slashing and casting and drinking of potions that I ‘imagine” WoW to be like ( No I swear I have NEVER played World of Warcraft!! Seen it played ONCE on a lower end system, heard about it before most people heard about it.)

http://rigsofrods.blogspot.com/ Read the keysheet and manual .pdf files, and then have fun smashing vehicles up. Havn’t tried its online feature yet, I imagine it to be in the league of San Andreas Multiplayer in terms of how streamlined it is.. It’s just a small project vehicle damage physic simulator, I think? Some might claim it to be a game.. You decide, give it a go.
