Updates on Security, Master Server, Stats and Email

[legacy-]MAJ[Kari]

epic should of came up with a way so that ut saves a htm file or something onto your computer that stores all the stats you've racked up in all the games you have played for your own personal convenience

This would be great until the stats servers are up again. This is allready possible in SP Mode. Maybe this could be added to the MP too like adding such a feature to the upcoming patch ?

I am guessing most already knew this tip but for any one who isnt a big GNU/Linux user, it can come in handy.

That depends on what you try to open them with. I do it all the time with tools I have written. Notepad won't though.

You'd be wise to remove the GUIDs and names from that post. Like, right now.

Brando: Strongly suggest editing that post to remove the GUIDs and IP addresses.

To add to that. You can download the free package Cygwin, which emulates several of the linux console commands such as 'tail' or 'cat' inside the windows command prompt (if you specify the /Cygwin/bin directory in your PATH environment variable). Alternatively you can just use Cygwin's own shell to execute such commands.

You can find out more about Cygwin here: http://www.cygwin.org

Good idea, didn't think to mention that. Microsoft does have Unix emulation stuff they are making, but I found preformance lacking when trying it myself.

You probably got kicked for idling - some of the servers have very short "no activity" settings.

maybe they're hire another dog to work along the 1 man and his dog already there, that should boost productivity by about 90% lol

Thanks for the response, DrSiN.

Ditto - thanks for the response. As and when you get any further info or an ETA, please could you let us know....and if not - just a post here now and again to say that you're still working on it will be appreciated.

It might be a good idea to send regular update to the Atari Tech Support people too - they're obviously well in the dark as to what's doing on.

Yea, thats too bad. I like the way your mut creates log (text) files for each game. Thats a nice feature.

Im wondering if you plan on trying to eliminate the 2 pauses that happen with antitcc. Usually they happen about 5 and then 20 seconds into the game. And thanks for the help.

Just making a small little note about security/cd keys, you can go almost to any P2p (I just searched for "tournament" on eMule) and came up with "Unreal Tournament 2004 keygen" and "online play enabler". If anyone wants to check those out to see if you can't protect the servers against whatever they're doing, if they even in fact work.

Anytime i try to play online now i automatically get disconnected from every server i've tried after i load the map. It gives me no messege as to what my be causing it, simply saying it disconnected. The only thing "different" i've installed lately is the Agent-Smith player model. I don't even have it selected when i go to play online and everything else is "stock". What is going on?



[edit]NM, figured it out. I guess it should have been obvious [/edit]
