Regarding mini-haxxy rewards: this just adds the code for them. You won't have got them yet since I still need to talk to sani etc. about who gets what.

Second, this is called the *interim* update for a reason: It's an only barely improved 2.6.8. 2.7 will be a while yet. Unfortunately this means that this update fixes no bugs.

EDIT: The server-sent plugin changes are to allow loopback. See: http://www.ganggarrison.com/forums/index.php?topic=33509.0

some lag issues here and there. joining players cause a brief drop in fps, and from what people keep saying, there are ping issues

[Phantom Brave]

gg2 does not cause ping problems. distant servers and bad isps and routers and connections to routers cause ping problems.

I'm 99% sure this version didn't touch that code.

Aren't you a developer

It's still a bug so it should be addressed, especially if its an older bug

I realise, it's just (luckily) not something introduced by this update.

Ajf something in the update(maybe teh hotfix) fixed the bluescreen problem on my laptop. i just played for a while on Imps server no blu screen AT ALL!!!!!! (Only massive lag on the server)

went to andreyys after the post and some greenlighting and it happend again, well back to halomod i guess if that is still getting updated.

hmm so is sentries and sniper fire crossing through gate doors at the start of A/D matches a feature in this patch?

gg2 does not cause ping problems. distant servers and bad isps and routers and connections to routers cause ping problems.

its hard to attribute the cause to that when servers that one never lagged on before suddenly start lagging like shit after the update, regardless of people joining/leaving.

ex: skele's itemserver; afaik he didn't change anything from his server beyond updating gg2, and suddenly the very-playable server i frequented before the update (with all mods downloaded ofc) becomes laggy as shit.

lol looks like ajf accidentally merged something he wasn't supposed to
or the git version he started on was unstable

that bug was present in 2.6.8 too.

oh I forgot it was already a bug in release
