R7 Released Today 3/19

Post by PowersGaming »

Thanks NFO for applying this new build to our server !

DICE : "We have just distributed a new server version named R7 to the server hosts.

Early signs from the hosts are good with 20% less load on the server CPU, improved hit detection, Veteran rank handling is fixed so you should get your M1 Garand back now plus some other fixes to better help the server hosting companies and better management of Punkbuster ID's."

Update R7 Changelist:

- Several common crash fixes. Especially those which have monitoring scripts that rely on the Remote Admin interface should see stability improvements.
- Higher performance
- PunkBuster can send commands to Remote Admin interface. pb_sv_task 0 -1 now works
- Veteran-rank handling corrected
- Switched back to Release version of the low-level networking library; less debug output but higher performance
- Increased the initial server reconnection interval to 30+rand(30) seconds
- PB GUID generation is now based on EA account IDs (it used to be based on persona names) This means that someone would need to buy a new copy of the game to get around a PB ban
- Better recovery from Plasma back-end problems

Game already feels better... :D
