Maybe someone from T.C. That can’t handle it.

  • No it’s not someone from ETC, I spoke to them and checked some stuff. Can’t be them.
    But TC <> Etc (not good friends seems like it) too

I’ll look how it goes - I’ve IP + stuff so if things go worse I can go to the police.

posting personal information is not the best way to deal with this problem, you’re talking about 2.55 servers…Who Cares !! They’re bug, bot and exploit ridden, this is a good example. You should expend the same effort on converting people to 2.60 as you do on this nonsense of trying to make 2.55 servers compatible with the real world

:([/QUOTE]

You don’t understand the reason WHY people have and play 2.55… and I think you will never understand that. It is nothing against you or your opinion. And btw, 2.6b is nearly as buggy as 2.55… there are a lot of small bugs and savety issues on 2.6b, too. There are a lot of things fixed in 2.6b, but there are many bugs left. Of course, 2.6b is saver then 2.55, but not as much as everybody things.

paul … do me a favour and delete my servers from your list … i didnt knew youre going to start a personal war against some admins … in my opinion its not your problem what are they doin with their server/bugbuster … i dont wanna be the one who suffers again … ive got enough grudgers/ballocks the last years … so please remove 'em (thx in advance)

all things considered … the rumours about the new patch are just overstated at the moment … if a 2.55 server is able to let 2.60 player join … who the heck cares … 2.60 players dont/wont recognize these servers, cuz they dont see 'em in their “serverbrowser” … so all discussion are a bloody waste of time in my opinion … if there wont be a “forced” update for every fci*g server/player in the future … we should stop discussions about “2.55 vs 2.60”

… in the meanwhile im just using e’s patch cuz its working for me
(so my servers got the same “uberprotection” like 2.60b … )

just my 2 cents …
… greetz Cambo

( btw your list isnt correct … most of em are just fixed for/against 3ifbo* )

Lets talk about WHY.

Lets say I’m regular 2.55 player and here are possible reasons why I’m playing WolfET v2.55:

  1. I don’t know about newer version.
  2. I don’t know almost anything about 2.60 and 2.60b features and fixes.
  3. I want to use cheats or abuse/exploit bugs.

Somebody can say „I enjoy 2.55 more than 2.60b.“. This is result of 1), 2) or 3) only.
Why I enjoy 2.55?

  1. I enjoy 2.55 becouse I love WolfET and I don’t know there is more bug-free and more secure version of WolfET.
  2. I enjoy 2.55 becouse I love WolfET and I don’t know what is improved in 2.60b but ppl says 2.55 is almost same as 2.60b.
  3. I enjoy 2.55 bescouse I really like cheating and bug exploiting and these cheats or bugs don’t work in newer version anymore.

If you think there are different reasons why PLAYERS like 2.55 let me know.

If we are talking about 2.55 admins there is an extra reason why there are 2.55 servers: 2.55 admins are afraid of losing their players if they update their servers.

There are no gameplay changes in 2.60b (if we neglect bugfixes). If we are not cheaters it’s pointless take different gameplay in 2.55 and 2.60b as reason for prefering 2.55.

Yes, you are right. There is several known security issues and known bugs in pure 2.60b. If you want to pretty bug-free and secure server you can use latest mods like ETPro 3.2.6+ or No Quarter 1.2.5+ - there is fixed the most of 2.60b bugs. Also security fixes are done by ETPro/NoQ and by Lua scripts.

Heve you ever read WolfET changelog? Here is the 2.60 changelog which is containing chages since 2.55.
There is listed AT LEAST (not exactly - there is more!) one hundred of bug fixes. And if you are using some mod you will have have probably much more bugs in your WolfET becouse the most played mods are made for 2.60(b) naturaly.

If you compare bugs in 2.55 and bugs in 2.60b objectively you will find there is a much more bugs in 2.55 than in 2.60b. You can count more than one hundred extra bugs in 2.55 and some of these bugs (which are fixed in 2.60b) are quite dangerous.

So… Statement „ 2.6b is nearly as buggy as 2.55“ is very far way off truth.

My conclusion is: 2.55 servers are filled with players and they are not upgraded to 2.60b due to:
I. „not knowing“ players
II. cheaters and bug abusers
III. administrators fears of losing their players if they update game


(YourFather_CZ) #67

I can’t see nothing personal in here. I just see list of servers where are players tricked by admins and by their fake PunkBuster. That list is based on general rules so it can’t be personal. :slight_smile:

If you look on that list there is no mention about 2.55 or even 2.60. There is statment about „fake“ PunkBuster only.

It depends… if you are selfish and don’t want to help anyone except you… then yeah, nothing is your problem. But if you like helping to other people things around you start becoming your problems and you will be involing in them.

I can’t see any disadvantage for players arising from this fake PB list.
Only I can see disadvantages for admins who run fake PB.


(Paul) #68

Above post is right, still want to let it removed?

  • SL Disabled ranking on the servers I posted but dunno wether they looked on my list or it’s only because of the topic ‘betruh am SL’ in the forums.

(stealth6) #69

omg rofl I was just going to say another reason to play 2.55
-I can pwn noobs who just got the game and get uberhigh SL rating
but now they cancelled their rating lol!


(diaboliksmart) #70

the easiest way : idsoftware stops the masterserver of 2.55

it will bring a lot of people to fill 2.6 servers

PS: i’ve patched my server with 2.55+ version (on a jaymod 217 and omnibot 066) : really less CPU usage - pings are 5-10% lower - and still in the 2.55 masterlist :slight_smile:

PS2: my server was in 2.55 since 2 years, because of reason : III. administrators fears of losing their players if they update game yes it is right - When I’ve tried the 2.6 patch, server was empty during some days - so revert to outdated 2.55

PS3: no, I prefer Wii


(Paul) #71

I heard via-via that someone is working on a program that allows to the server be 2.60b and that when a player connects it will automaticly update to 2.60b.


(-SSF-Sage) #72

Wow wow. That’s just wrong. Very wrong! No matter how much we want ppl to update to 2.60b we can NOT force them to update. You say: “They don’t have to connect if they don’t want to”, that’s one really bad argument. I would be very pissed if I had 2.55 (and wanted to have it) and then accidentally connected to such a server and would have to reinstall ET.

Let’s quit this pervert war against 2.55’ers. Those who are going to read the conversations aren’t going to give up anyway.


(calipso) #73

Same discussion as usually. The topic is about one install that allows players VOLUNTEER to connect to 2.60b servers and you guys are talking about FORCING players to upgrade or even notify id software to remove masterlist for 2.55 servers…So my question is wtf? i mean wtf? really…
I’d like to say more but tired of this discussion, leave things as there are i know some of you are scared that 2.55 will have the fate of RtCW 1.0


(Paul) #74

I think it’s a bad plan too :slight_smile: I’m also really not supporting this.
Splatterladder disabled most of the fake pb servers, main like T.C. and ETc.
A really large discussion is going on now, but it’s proofed you can cheat there. So until they fix it - it will probably like this I think.

Anway, the main problem is that 1 populair mod - noquarter doesn’t support it anymore. That sucks because more ppl play 2.55 ^^


(system) #75

you can cheat anywhere, stop talking crap about where you can cheat and where not , where the modified .so / dll files are or not, who has pb on or not cause of the hack or not. Cheats can be build in kernels meanwhile and try to proof that with punkbuster…pFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF…

I dont know what this whole conversation is all about, but you doing more AGAINST the serverlist then helping it. IF server run empty cause splatterladder is to stupid or some socalled “smart” kid make special lists, then a few servers will go down at the end…so maybe stop whining, play where your favorite place is and grab a coke.

OH and by the f*cking way, do NOT mention good admins, do NOT mention undetactable bots, dont focus on one thing, let everyone run their server like they want to. You dont even have one but enjoys to destroy a few…you pay 70 bucks for a server a month and read crap on SD, then we will see…

like my 2 other posters before me, i am getting sick of this topic and i will ignore it from now on…i just had to give my 2 cents to this subject cause its NOT helping the community at all.

Oh and another thing, people run more versions to get more people, think for ONE time what happen when it does not make anymore sense to pay for a server (when its empty…)

(Yes sorry rest of here, this really freaks me out…)
And your too funny that you think PB detects soo much, thats a big LOL !


(Paul) #76

Without punkbuster it’s even worse =) And I agree the word is going crazy. I’m going to remove the list tomorrow probably. It’s so weird - servers dont’get rated on SL and people go wild? Like rating is the only things that does exist? Where is the ET Spirit wtf?

  • Servers are still full so don’t worry :slight_smile:

(stealth6) #77

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… I could keep going.


(system) #78

No, i dont care for Splatter, you misunderstood me.
Splatterladder rating is imho bad, but this whole subject is not ‘good’ for the community.
But that is just my 50 cents. If you want to make a list, gogo, i only look at my own server and vietnam mod sometimes and when i am really bored to hell, weigen mod (incl. a lot of crashes)…so, i i dont really care for ranks, lists or something like that. besides that, we have a admin that made a own php stats page like vsp, thats enough for our own community allto its broken atm :frowning:

Ahwell, still, have a nice sunday …


(Paul) #79

Ok lets say it from a different side.
When you look at how many full/empty servers there are. And when you look on 2.60b compared to 2.55 etc, you will see that the fill rate is higher on 2.55 and the reason that I dont’like like 2.60b is that it’s always full of stupid bots xD
