Download the Latest AH version

[Hamltnblue]

Hello All
The latest version of AH is about 64 meg in size.
I recommend that everyone download it tonight to avoid taxing the AH servers and bandwidth right before FSO.

While we're on the subject. Will the new version affect the terrain we're using for FSO? Will we need to DL a new version of that as well?

No I was just in there and the terrain seems to be fine as far as I can tell.

However, there could always be little hickups with a new version so be prepared for the unexpected. The CMs are doing what we can to test the terrain, new settings (arena setup has been changed to an extent by HTC), and to identify any issues before the frame. So fingers crossed that we already found everything (68Lurch and 68Falcon have been working since last night to iron out issues).

I was just in SEA and it didn't have to download the map.

The Wednesday Snapshot was cancelled due to the snapshot CM unable to make the arena work.

Do the CMs know what went wrong, and will it affect FSO as well?

68Lurch and 68falcon spent Wedsneday night and Thursday diagnosing the issues and testing (and working with Skuzzy to resolve them). We believe the issue was do to the same issues causing lag (horrible frame rates) for many of the people in WW1 arena. Patch 1 (released yesterday) seems to have fixed any lag issues and the SEA seems stable now from their testing yesterday and last night.

Was wondering because sometimes past updates have been incompatible with current terrains. So you guys tested the Greece terrain and it's cool? Hate to find out at frame time it's a no go.

The Greece terrain seems to be find with 2.18 patch 1. We are still testing and working with Skuzzy and HTC right now in regards to the stability of the SEA (still somethings they are looking into).

We will advise you guys on whether it is a definite go or if we need to delay as soon as possible.

Here is the latest update and I will be sending an email to all the squads command staff. HTC is still diagnosing issues in regards to the stability the SEA. Will have a definite answers for you guys by 5pm CST (hopefully before then).
