New Renegade Patch
by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 19, 2002 3:42pm PSTAn important C&C Renegade demo patch has been released on Fileplanet. This patch will hopefully take care of the nasty lag problems as well as a few other things. It's a mere 685kb download. An updated demo is on Fileplanet as well. Update: here is a Fileshack mirror of the 1.07 patch courtesy of Speakeasy.
List of Changes In the 107 Patch 1. Found and corrected a problem creating extensive lag. 2. We turned off the dedicated server requirement. 3. Reduced the bandwidth test. 4. Reduced time spent in the initial splash screen. 5. Fixed a bug that was creating instability in the server.
6. Added a version check.

Jesus fucking christ. How many patches have their been since the release of the demo?
From one side it's cool they support their stuff to the fullest and fix problems.
But hell....let's all try and programm something near decent before releasing it...

Also, why can't I bind crouch to Left Control?
Why do they hide the Player Name option in the screen where you join a Gayspy game? Thank goodness ASE changes my name for me!

Things that bother me besides the "lag":
*Running too slow. Doesnt have to be as fast as quake3 but as fast as quake2 at least.
*It should be easier to change your name. I didnt know to check under the "gamespy" tab. Iam using ASE.
*It takes forever to kill a guy. Even with grenades. Even the character with the minigun takes 2 clips to kill a dude.

I had to do some ini file h4x0ring and am running the ConsoleServer.exe which doesn't care about bandwidth limits.

I joined a 2v2 server and it was pretty fun.. driving around in an transport tank and then dropping a Nuke beacon, defending it with your life, while waiting for it to drop.
god damn this game would have been golden had it not been for the LAG!

I'm wondering how it's doing it's tests. Perhaps I should load up the trusty old packet sniffer and find out what's going on...
I will get down to the bottom of this !!!

Ok, got 1.07 installed. It's bandwidth tests claim that our DS3 is only capable of supporting 4 players as a server... and I can't change the number =(
Bummer =(

As Xian mentioned, it determines the max number of clients if you setup through the GUI. And 4 seems to be the magic number... If it sees a number higher than 4, it MAKES it 4. Okay, they've messed because I refuse to believe that The Ohio State University's redundant OC-3's, connected by 10/100 switching, can only support 4 people.
So I figure out how to setup a dedicated server and do so. People connect and comment on how good things are. Hoorj.
So I go to one of the other PC's around me, get the demo setup (skipping GameSpy of course) and plan on connecting manually.
"renega~1.exe +connect macrossone.dhs.org"
...
Server connection refused.
Okay, well lets let ASE take a swipe. Find, download, install, configure. Try to connect and... OH. It seems that 1.07 *BROKE* ASE compatibility. Yeah, I bet that's a coincidence.
Fine you ass-plowers, I'll install GameSpy. Do that, configure it and try to connect to my own server, 10 feet away from me. Nothing. Just chills at the connection screen.
Whatever. Screw this stuff if they are going to make it so hard. A menu option to connect to an IP address? Just throw me a bone here people. A console command? A commandline option? Forget this.
Oh yeah, and so when I was running a listen server last night, there were the usual lamers being, well lame. So I hit tilde and a little console drops down. Good sign... I type 'ki' and it autocompletes to 'kick'... and 'kick' doesn't work. Only supported on WOL servers. Fuck this shit. I'll wait for the next good id engine game, that can be admin'd as god john carmack god john carmack god john carmack god intended. Not only had that wheel already been invented 6 years ago, it was invented properly. Westwood has lost a sale until they stop forcing people to play their way.

Umm, I am thinking a correction is in order? If its really that size I do hope it fixes the lag because its going to cause some for people trying to download it ;)
