In the KC Game panel, server updates, there are two versions allowed - R8 Build 2 released 02/11/2010 and R9 released 15/12/2010

Oddly if I install R9, the server is as dead as a dodo and had been all week. Revert to R8 build 2, and within the space of a few hours it has self populated and started to return to it's performance as a highly popular server.

So is R9 broken in some way? What are the differences?

From our Notes:

- Remote admin serverInfo command has extra info (ranked / unranked, password on/off, PB on/off, game time, server uptime)

- Remote admin player.onAuthenticated & player.onSpawn events are being sent properly

- Remote admin server.onRoundOver & server.onRoundOverTeamScores are being sent properly

- When querying the server about PB status, it is now asking the PB DLLs instead of looking up the game-internal flag; now, if PB is mis-installed on the server, the PB status will never go to "on"

- PunkBuster will always communicate via the game port (in R8 it would sometimes pick another port, and this caused communications problems)

Just to point out, we should be forcing R9 on you and did not realize R8 V2 was still an option. If you can update to R9, that would be appreciated.

I accept that I should update, and will do so, but am loathe to do so as I know it will kill the server. I was told by others in my clan that once it was running R9 it was no longer visible in the server lists. As I say is R9 broken in some way?

Hi,

I've not heard that before. Maybe it's case sensitive?

If needs be we can stick up a test server. Let me know.

I switched it back to R9 over the weekend. Yesterday, and thius mosrning it has re-populated itself (no seeding from anyone in my clan) so it must be OK. Thanks
