i even think its smarter to release 1.7b
because people refuse to playtest the beta, so the problems will appear after the release....so we use the official release as betatest

I am a little concerned about the stability of 1.7...I got a friend to set up a non-dedicated 1.7 server for us to try out. I connected to his server and it was unplayable. I had a ping of 130, but it behaved like I had a ping of 999. I know non-decicated servers aren't common and I might just of had my 56K modem messing me about, but this method serves us fine for Deathmatch and I normally have a good connection to his server. Therefore I'm a little weary, but hopeful, about how I'll be able to play 1.7 over my modem...

this has nothing to do with db

I hope you're right

can you release some sort of official beta release. then the true release 1.7? it would make more sense imo and be less confusing for nubcakes

He does that all the time, the problem is that people don't bother installing the beta release because it's a little bit of effort (I know, I don't bother ). It's easier just to release a new version and get EVERYONE to playtest it, then release an update, like he said.

what i mean, is instead of this incremental beta then the release and then a nother release. stop putting out betas every week or whatever, just say the 1.7 Beta is out now. then servers could actually put it on because everyone would have it.

meh, prolly to hard to organise i guess.

that's what we tried, it's just not working
so the only betatesting we have are 10 guys to play 1 or 2 matches

and good matches indeed

i will try the beta today or tomorrow when i get time.

and then i'll make a long post about how much it sucks

no, when the final beta is released

I would like to betatest, but as u know theres this damn server-crash-bug

i played about 20 1.7 beta matches - my record was only 20 minutes until the server crashed... so it wont make any sense at all till this bug is fixed

thats why its still red on the list

WANT 1.7

Okay heres what you do. You make the beta so when you install it it dosent over write 1.6. That way 1.6 doesent get deleted and you have to replace it. just make a new game typecalled 1.7Beta.
