So, I should just keep running my horrid band-aid config? That is, Linux running VMware running Win98 running the Windows BF1942 dedicated server. Sure, it's not optimal, but I have only one Windows box in the house and that's the one I use as my client.

  Surely you can now run the more optimal linux server instead of that? : xenoeye

I think it's kinda silly they bothered to release a 1.3 so late, if what they're saying about another patch coming out soon is true. Maybe they should have just held off until the problems with 1.3 are fixed and release it? Or maybe someone is pulling the wool over our eyes and the bugfix for 1.3 actually won't be out for longer than we think..?

Sigh, still reports on the beta list of desynch. I'll wait for the next one again.

I have a colo with a 100M verio lan, and a linux box there that can run a server, but so far the linux one is just coughing & sputtering. It seems to run, stay up, etc.. but that desynch issue makes it really nothing beyond an interesting example of a linux port for me.

Ashkie- do you have stability issues with the windows server, or can it run happily without lots of restarts?

Wallhack results in a breach in trusted computing setup.. basically, the server is trusting the client to report wether or not it is "clipped" by walls.. so if the client modifies the models so the walls aren't solid, the server just blindly trusts it. The fix for this sort of thing is usually a bunch of checksumming of models etc, moving more control to the server.

I've been testing this linux server since the first release. It's gotten better, but there are still some pretty bad desychronization issues (no change in ping, but lag between your actions and their results appear)
