5996 loginserver is going away on 9/25

**Doodman** · #1 09-22-2004, 02:22 AM

If you are currently using the loginserver on port 5996, please change to use the loginserver on port 5994.

The one on 5994 is the lastest one, here is why you should move:
1) 5994 has full crypto support, so no need to use the authorization reset work around like before.
2) The 5996 login server has a workaround for the random account bug that prevents people from logging in their own server host behind a NAT firewall. 5994 does not.

If you are running an older version of 5.8, then you might have the code in there to support #2 from above and you'll need to update to be able to have people join your servers.
