Open Beta5 für Linux Server erhältlich

[Gast]

Hi!

Gerade eben wurde die Open Beta5 für den Linux- Server released!

Changes:

- Linked with dynamic curses to avoid SIGILL on Intel machines.

- Hostname lookup failure no longer a fatal error.

- Removed nearly all references to gettimeofday()--uses RDTSC instead.

- Timing code around main loop reworked.

- Compiled with i586 optimizations instead of i686.

- game.listPlayers format now includes IP address again.

- Fixed remote console hanging the game.

- Added server name to status monitor.

- Allows changing of GameSpy/ASE ports via ServerSettings.con.

- Fixed start.sh script for ldds that write message to stderr.

Known issues:

- There doesn't seem to be a way to change the ASE port with our current

copy of the ASE SDK. It will always bind to port 14690.

- A small pause can be observed in the server while loading, this is normal

and needed by the TSC calibration code.

- The server can use a lot of CPU running under certain Linux kernels.

This can be avoided by recompiling the kernel removing unused features,

but it is not yet clear what is causing the bug.

Mirrors findet ihr hier.

Nee, das steht ja unter "known issues", also bekannte Probleme.

Das bedeutet nur das auf manchen Systemen der BF Linux Server zu viel CPU Last erzeugt und du den Kernel neu compilieren solltest (nach dem entfernen von unnötigen Features). Leider wissen DICE noch nicht was dieser Bug verursacht.
