Version 1.731 of the PB Client for ET has been released to our PB Master Servers for auto-update and to our website download page.
Release Notes for PB Client v1.731:
The new PB services are no longer optional, see our PB Services FAQ for more info
The new PB services now support 64 bit flavors of Windows
The bold text means you cna't stop PnkBstrA.exe anylonger, the component is required for playing the game. This good and bad news, the good news is poeple with vista will be able to play ET without administrator rĂghts. The bad news is PnkBstrA.exe is known to give lag, and you get kicked without it.
Just recieved this email from IGN:
The wipe is currently scheduled for this coming Wednesday (August 22, 2007) at 10pm GMT (5pm EST) at which point you will no longer be able to play unless you re-create your account in the manner described below. The statistics are also going to be reset that day.
YOU CAN STILL PLAY THE BETA.
Follow these steps to re-create your account
1) The accounts database is reset. Your in-game account will no longer work.
2) Start the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars beta client. On the login screen, delete your in-game account.
3) Retrieve your beta license key from FilePlanet. It can be found both in the email you were sent after signing up or the beta and under My Account -> Beta Keys Archive on the FilePlanet website.
4) Back in the beta client, go to “Create User” and select “Create new online account”. Put in your account name along with your beta license key and click “Finish”.
5) That’s it! You’re all set and ready to dive back into the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars beta.
Access your FilePlanet beta keys archive here: Fileplanet.com
Thanks for your participation, and please enjoy the rest of beta.
We received a bug report that needed attention, and made the corrections. We simply forgot to test for this bug, well old men are allowed to forget a little :-).
We have set up an Enemy Territory QuakeWars Beta2 server for testing. The server is running smooth, and code looks very fine for a beta version.
Server details are: 193.238.184.116:27733 >>99<< ETWQ private
Server is password protected, and temporary password can be obtained by contacting me.
Server info and ping really sucks by looking in HLSW, this is a HLSW problem, ETQW is not supported by HLSW yet, and is using only half of the protocol used by Doom3.
I am working on a GameViewer for ETQW to work with phpfusion as well, made by Makro, go visit his homepage Here.
As you can see, I am doing a few adjustments to Makro's Gameserver View, so you can see our ETQW server details. Ill be working on showing player details as well. During map-restart, the server will not answer, this will look like the server is down.
A new release of etpub is out. This time there has been made a lot of changes and many bug-fixes. I have put the relevant part of the changelog into 'read more'.
It seems the guys at ETPub.org really made some nice features, please do visit them, without these guys, we would not have a etpub server.
Our server will be updated during this weekend.
Update:
Our ETPub omni server is now running the new official release
