Roger wilco new version has PROBLEMS!
« Reply #15 on: September 02, 2001, 02:03:00 PM »
After some testing down with Ozark hosting on his old mk 1c version. It appears that channels hosted on the older versions do NOT show up in the channel list.

I'd like it if some others could double check this if at all possible.

We did NOT test to see if auto host in game showed up on the older version.

While I applaud RW for their incorporation of the base station into the basic RW. I really think this whole "channel surf" idea is a bad one. One that is going to have long term consequences for Roger Wilco.  

After all, would you like it if someone could "surf" into your cellular phone calls?

It's easy to do...if your handy with a soldering gun.

Last evening I logged on (and RW started as always on our squad channel) except... (as it was rather Rudely pointed out to me) it wasn't a Knight channel that it logged on to... it was a Bishop channel. This is our regular squad channel (132) I didn't tune anything, I didn't do anything other than start AH as I always do. I am not sure what version of RW I am using... but I haven;'t downloaded anything recentlty.

Friday night myself and my squad mates all logged into the MA , our RW was tuned to our usual squad channel.
Apparently we joined a channel being used in ANOTHER ARENA ( I take it the 'snapshot' was NOT in the MA )
I Alt-Tabed and checked who was on....Ghosth, you were one of them, so I am assuming the channel we joined is the same one you are discussing.
This was at about 11pm Friday ( US time ).
I dont know if this helps at all in sorting this problem out, I just figure the more info, the better.

{AFAIK, everyone in my squad was using the old version of RW, not the update }

I swapped back to Ic (after having to kick about 50 people off rw in one night), if you're looking for it you can still find it here.
