Anyone know what that patch was for?

[Xmi]

My DAoC client downloaded a patch tonight, but there's no mention of it on the 'official' (/cough) site. Any clues as to what this fixes?

clap at goa for not even being able to inform people what that patch is good for. what a joke this is turning into.

It fixed some exploits.
Sometimes we update code and it's not really anything that you as players will notice in gameplay so it's not particularly worth explaining it as, unless you work with the game code, the explanation will be meaningless.

Of course if you do work with the game code then you'd know what the fix was for anyway...

I like fixes like that

but of course us addicts are curious about it was for.

btw is it against CoC to sell a couple of ingame items for a case of beer? just wondering

Reminds me of the guy in my delta force-squad that came into the chat and said "fat bear taste like shit".

also every new game.dll that is downloaded f00ks with Radar programs.. and they have to re-alter it.. which also makes it easier to find them lol.

so good luck radaring tonight people, i suspect you will be found very quickly.. givf public bannings and names imo.

I'm sure the patch was for a good reason and I'm very glad and appreciative of it - but at the same time, do sort of wish there was mention of it on the website, my first thought when it started downloading was that I was patching to US servers again, like used to happen all the time... Its fine now obviously but just an official word saying theres a patch (not even what it does) would be great.

Was hoping for a small sneaky patch fixing the color name bug

yeah they need to load up the config files and change

#define IRRITATING_WHITE_NAMES 1
to
#define IRRITATING_WHITE_NAMES 0

and it'll all be good

seems to have increased the warning time on unclaimed towers..

ie before patch it wouldnt show as under siege till door was 50%, now its more like 80%

that a fix or a new bug?

thats not a clientside thing though.. its serverside? we wouldnt notice if they hotfixed stuff like that..
