Patch Day

Had a technical question to ask regarding this: what actually changes in the client that prevents connection to a current EQEmu server? Is it as simple as the client sending its version number, and it not agreeing with what the server expects, or are there actual changes in the communication protocol that mess things up?

The reason they havent released it yet is that a certain amount of testing is necessary to ensure they quell all the issues they are trying to fix. If they dont do that, they release something thats not had any QA (Quality Assurance) time, and theres a problem with it, then the boards are flooded with 'Im disconnecting after 2 minutes!!' and other such communications related to releasing a product before it's ready (just read into the historys of Daggerfall and Pool of Radinace 2)

Be patient, it will come when they think it's ready, I dont think ANYONE can complain at the pace these guys set for releasing new versions/patches. They are EXTREMELY fast.

Also, Im pretty darn sure GetFrags is Windows, since the Linux version has just started compiling correctly recently with alot of help from MisAnthrope , Quag, and Sin. (There were mutex problems for a few releases)

*nod* QA is top priority over release dates (although i am quite confedent a fix for 0.2.3 will be out soon)..

*nod* I understand. Sorry, I was just frustrated at myself for making such a stupid mistake. I agree. I don't want to be running something that has not been fully tested.
