can 1.6.2 client connect to 1.6.1 server?

[ramirez]

Unfortunately no, you need to update your servers.

1.6.1. will go down in soldat history as the shortest lived version ever

[TmTgr]

There is no server patch for 2.7.2 on the downloads page.
Nevermind it was in the wrong section.

Guys, rly.
moving from version to version is annoying, moving servers is even more annoying for some ppl like me who bought server from the hosting. every each update i have to write to the guy who sells me server then i have to wait until he update my server. i cant do it alone cuz some files are protected and i cant replace them.
did you fixed score bug? on survival mode if 1 team is dead and second is not(its like 5 sec time before all die) then if somebody join any team then score point is added for team who have somebody alive in team(i created a script that fixes it buy still its a soldat bug)
did you fixed spec stat bug? if you join spec then your deads on f1 are reduced by 1.
did you fixed stats bug? sometimes you get a bug on survival mode that makes your deaths increase by 1 after each round. so if you didnt died even once you will still have bad stats on f1 cuz of that bug.
did you fixed body bug? if you throw a knife by a dead body then you wont see bullet(knife) until knife hit the normal polygon.
sorry for my aggression but im Dodgeball player and nobody fixed that bugs from a rly long time and also that bugs are annoying for us(db players) especially body bug. you make updates every while and still i see no changes what would make me happy,  and what is worse i have to waint until they update my server. im mad

Arfgh, didn't even have time to update the wiki for 1.6.1. (contribute to the wiki please)

Great job guys.


ps. don't post bugs here, add them to bugs.soldat.pl

[DutchFlame]

So now that all the major bugs are gone, we can expect no less then a great game, and a better netcode in a long/next version I hope!

Anyway again great job and keep it going!

P.s; ignore the whiners :DDDDd

You have to understand that before Soldat 1.6 there was a lack of updates.
In fact it took 2.3 years from 1.5 to 1.6.
I think you agree that more updates are better. We decided to release early this time to get rid of serious bugs.
The next release will not happen in 3 days. Don't worry.

As for the bugs: We mainly fix bugs from the bugtracker so do as PQ said and post your bugs there.
If you add detailed information and a good "how to reproduce" your chances get better and better.
Posting bugs on the forums is not recommended as we can't look them up that easy and they will probably get lost.
I suggest to post bugs on the forums if you are unsure about how to explain the bug and if you want to discuss it before adding it to the bugtracker.
Also feature requests should only be added in the forums.

But enough explaining. You can't make everyone happy I guess

Good job!

Time to own noobs with the Spas! Buahahahuehue 

[CheeSeMan.]

great job guys :-)

[nosejj]

Every times Soldat has a new version there's a wave of babies born to play the game in the future.
<3 devs.

[Dawn of the D^]

GJ guys =)

I played the new version like 2 hours now and an old bug occured to me again: Another player with Spas made my Spas reload a few times now. I didn't notice that with other weapons though.

[Mexer]

the thing I love 'bout active indie games: updates. It's really nice to know that someone's taking care of this game, even a little. Too bad it didn't use to be like this in the past (like the 1.5.0 stood there like 2 years or such..)

Edit: I'd really wanna see that flag bug gettin removed. I don't know if it was fixed but If you didn't notice there's a flag bug that makes the flag's shape stretch all over the map to the flag carrier.
