Warfork News

Hey Forkers,

We have just released Warfork 2.15.1, which brings two minor updates:

- When a user connects to a Steam-enabled server, their SteamID will now be included in the server's log. This should help with server administration/moderation. [velzie]
- Fixed an issue that caused Warfork's Steam service to crash in some scenarios. This fixes crashes for players and servers that have a large amount of pk3 files. [velzie + Michael Pollind]

Note: Going forward, we will no longer be including previous versions of the game with each release. If you intend to keep demos for the purpose of making videos in the future, we recommend that you create a personal backup/copy of the game's installation directory before or after each new update. If this worries you, we suggest disabling automatic updates for Warfork in Steam. Additionally, you are free to compile a working build of any version of the game that you wish using the open-source code available in our GitHub repository; all releases since 2.14 are tagged. If you need assistance with this, please ask in our Discord server. The next update, 2.16, will break compatibility with current demos.

The fix for the occasional hang/crash that was pushed in the last optional update has proven to be problematic. This optional update for dedicated servers reverts that change, while retaining the logging change related to Steam IDs.

• When a player connects to a server with Steam Auth enabled, their Steam ID is now written to the server's log/console. This facilitates retroactively muting and banning players.
  

Clients do not need to update to play on updated servers.

An optional update has just been pushed to the dedicated server appid. This update brings the following improvements, brought to you by Velzie:

• The occasional hang/crash when switching maps should now be resolved.
  
• When a player connects to a server with Steam Auth enabled, their Steam ID is now written to the server's log/console. This facilitates retroactively muting and banning players.
