Soldat on unofficial sites
« on: November 28, 2011, 03:30:00 pm »

(from soldat.pl)

Theese thirdparty sites, and plenty of other sites, have an outdated version of soldat.
It's a shame that so many sites direct interrested players to an outdated soldat version.
I created a topic to gather all thirdparty sites incase anyone has the need to get an overview.
Also, discuss what to do about thirdparty sites that provide download to an outdated version of soldat!

I've already reported the error to download.cnet.com several times (about 10 now), but it looks like they haven't even looked at any of the reports yet. I could try to e-mail them later as well, since their error reporting service obviously doesn't work... :-\

<Mr> yes, it allocates more electrons, so there are more electrons available for Soldat -> they are streched less and it is more fluent

On some of the sites you can leave a comment, but you have to register.
The best would perhaps to get them to direct to soldat.pl instead of downloading from those sites.
Are there any other options? Could MM force them to take it off completely if he wanted?

Let some of devs make some official professional-looking mail that will be sent to all of these sites' administrators. I think that 50% of them will remove old version. Rest of them will be troolled by our community spam about new version.
