We dont talk about version check, we talk about closing
If we talk about closing then i think our talk should be over, because i see that as unreasonable caprice.
this is sure they are not gonna join our server by orginal war2client, they gonna have to download the war2ru client like everyone, everyone at the same step.
My gerenal line for the server is to let people use as many clients as they can to let them see the server is alive.
It's possible to let them download combat or any other versions if they want, but they should be at least sure that they can join with anything they have.
You feel free to setup your own server with any other ideas you want.
Also, your not gonna see new player from war2original games, nobody sell this game anymore anyway, if you want to get people is all about how you do your promotion, is about the fact you need to affiliated war2ru with other games and other gaming forums to make publicity... Its a fair trade to everyone, we bring them our player they bring us their players.
There's a lot of active players, casuals and newbies using non-combat versions now, so i don't see any reason to enforce them to use combat or w/e definite version.
1: Came with me on game and im gonna show you what is the latency bug between different clients.
That is not so obvious for me. Warlatency decreases latency from units for person who activated it, so they take advantage over others. But that doesn't look like something related to lagging in games as for me.
If you researched that question that really could be a good reason to let people select the same version (2.0.2.0), but need to check and prove that.
