The Official Soldat Server 2.6.5 is now ready for download.
Change log and Download links attached to end of post.

Primary focus was ofcourse on bugs for this release. Unicode has been fixed in this binary, so I recommend everyone upgrades. There has also been a modification to the structure of the RefreshX remote admin command. All remote admin programs such as ARSSE should be updated to accommodate this change.

Reminder: Follow me on Twitter! Read more for some blogger style ramblings. Oh, and a server rental coupon code!

The Official Dedicated Server software for Soldat 1.5.0 is now ready for download. Server owners should prepare to upgrade to this version, and read the changelog carefully.

A fairly major change that is not listed in the changelog, is that we have modified the way the Net code threading works. There is now an option in server.ini to enable or disable multi-threading UDP packets. By default, threading is disabled (0). We hope this will reduce the number of “eats” and other lag related annoyances. This might not be the case for some systems, if you find server performance is degraded compared to previous versions, change ThreadedUDP to 1 in server.ini to revert back to how it is in Soldat 1.4.2.

It is pretty much ready now. The only things on the todo list is to create the full/patch Installers, pack the EXE, and record a new intro demo. I asked the beta testing team to thoroughly test my latest binary with all fixes in it, and two weeks later nobody has mentioned anything about it so at this point I must assume it is ready to roll. If it isn’t, it might be time to clean up the private beta team eh? Hurr hurr.

Eh, sorry, but this isn’t an April Fools joke. Disappointing, yeah.

Hurraaaa!!! Soldat 1.5.0d Release Candidate is now available for public download. This is basically the exact Map List, Weapon Mod, and Changelog that I wan’t to release with. I am hoping there will be lots of online testing going on this time since the Dedicated Server was also released.

If player’s don’t hang around and try get a Beta Server active, they wont reach a decent number of players; resulting in possible missed bug discoveries. Here are the two official 1.5.0 Beta Test Servers:
