Author Topic: Important BattlEye server and client update!( FOR 1.4.1 ONLY, NOT 1.4.2) (Read 29351 times)

Michal Marcinkowski · « **on:** June 17, 2007, 03:46:20 pm »

All players and server admins are urged to update immediately to prevent the old BattlEye version to generate a lot of traffic (caused by a bug in the update system).
BattlEye anti-cheat has been fixed and is available for download. Your Soldat 1.4.1 should automatically detect this and open a download link for you. Unzip the file to your Soldat folder.

THIS IS FOR 1.4.1 ONLY

If the download link fails, here it is:
http://static.soldat.pl/downloads/BattlEye.zip

or use the automated installer at:
http://enesce.com/?page=downloads&f=30 (scan for viruses as usual with EXEs)

Also there is available a server patch. So attention server admins (this one does not auto-update!), the patch is here:
http://static.soldat.pl/downloads/BEserver.zip

Download it now and update your servers please.
Also please set a new BEBanTime default variable in server.ini:
BEBanTime=5

To find out your Soldat folder, right click your Soldat desktop icon.
Select properties. Read the folder in the "Target:" box.
Example: If it says: "D:\Games\Soldat\Soldat.exe", your Soldat folder is "D:\Games\Soldat".

Currently having a slight issue server-side;

(15:15:31) BattlEye Server: Could not connect to BE Master
(15:15:32) BattlEye Server: Update attempt failed

I'm not sure if this is something specific to the version of the server EnEsCe is running on our servers though.

Also, those of you running WindowsXP or higher without thirdparty zip utilities may have issues with the auto-update; just download the update manually in that case.

SpiltCoffee · « **Reply #11 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:17:39 pm »

Ok, then. I'll alert GameArena to the update of BattlEye.

fishfood · « **Reply #12 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:24:37 pm »

Yeah, the "Yes" button didn't do anything.

I installed the new BE files in the right folder, overwrote the old ones, and the little update screen still comes up.

$able · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:29:45 pm »

I have to announce the following:

Due to traffic problems mentioned in the first post BattlEye will not be activated in the first days - the BE Server and BE Client will not be able to connect to the BE Master.
This is to reduce the number of old invalid update requests once the BE Master is online.

So please everyone, update your servers and clients as soon as possible!

Thank you.

See the post immediately above yours; due to problems with the previous version, it's staying offline for a bit to try to get the majority of people updated first; otherwise, due to bugs, the master server would basically be flooded off of the internet by the old versions, from what I can gather.

Specter · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:40:07 pm »

Yeah, I usually ignore the red message telling me that someone has posted before me

Well this is kinda off topic, but I don't think i need to make a topic about it.

The CreateBullet function, I know, says that it is full of bugs and will stop working on some operating systems, but I was wondering if it will ever be fixed so that it works on every system. Being able to only spawn 4 projectiles before it stops working isn't too fun $:-\$

If it is off-topic, don't post here. Look in the scripting help forum for help, and make a thread if someone else hasn't already made one about it. Posting flagrantly off-topic is a good way to get banned

$able · « **Reply #33 on:** June 19, 2007, 08:36:42 am »

@elbow_man: Yeah, but it wasnt me.

It was some misinterpretation of the devs regarding BE kicks - but its cleared up now.

@BombSki: It possibly will at some point - e.g. when the game of a player crashes, he will be kicked for packet loss after a while. Remember this is a Soldat specific setting, it has nothing to do with BE itself - so yeah, any kicks give 5 minutes by default.
So you shouldnt set it to permanent due to what I just explained.

Sleepo · « **Reply #34 on:** June 19, 2007, 10:47:29 am »

Is it right that each time i open Soldat it asks to install BE? Or is it because i am only unzipping it and not doing anything else?

Getting GameArena to attempt that is going to be very ******* difficult.

EDIT: How about this solution. If someone gets kicked 3 times during any 24 hour period, they get a perm ban?

EnEsCe · « **Reply #42 on:** June 19, 2007, 10:03:48 pm »

BE should specify to the server what kind of kick it is, so I can make BEBanTime only apply to bans for cheating.

As I told you, the best non-static solution is for BE to handle banning on its own in the future. External Soldat variables such as BEBanTime make things somehow static and are not under BE's control.
Also, the IP banning can be circumvented easily if the cheater has an appropriate connection and really wants to come back to the server...

I dont know, if you have 1.4.1, you should have it (next to other folders like Maps, Weapons-gfx, etc.) - otherwise you deleted it or your installation failed (very unlikely).

Does it work now?

Even with that, I have not been able to download this freaking thing, and most servers now kick me because I do not have it.

I'll try:

1. Download http://static.soldat.pl/downloads/BattlEye.zip
2. Extract ALL of its contents to C:\Soldat (or wherever you installed it) - if you chose the right directory it will ask you to overwrite the old files - do so.
3. Start Soldat and the update info box should no longer come up.
