Strange class balance on your server?

BoltR · 09-16-2008, 12:29 AM

If you notice the game playing strangely, or people complaining about a class being way too good on your server, such as the HWGuy doing ridiculous damage, your server most likely hasn't been updated correctly.

Issues have been reported/confirmed that it's possible to install the 2.1 server update incorrectly so that only some of the files are overwritten, but still still have a 'working' server. The side effect of this is that you get mixed 2.0 and 2.1 values which causes strange behavior.

We tested this just now. [AE]'s server was actually fucked up.

Standing 6 feet apart, a HW can kill another HW in 2 1/2 seconds.

On the [AE] server, it takes 1 second. So one of the fuck-ups is HWs doing 250% of the damage they should be doing.

If this is happening on your server, for now... well, PM me the servers and info on how you got to 2.1 (full install, update, hotfixes, etc.).

We checked and made sure that it's not a bad file - all of the values in the distributed installers and .zip files are the same, as they should be. So right now, we believe that it's server admins setting things up wrong somehow.

Ya thats what happens when you leave for a few hours while server is updating. I believe my connection timed out and a few files got fucked. I reinstalled the 2.1 full and all is good On [AE] Clan server.
