QuakeWorld 2.33 Test Release
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QuakeWorld 2.33 is a test release to address several issues that have
|
||
|
|
come to light in the QuakeWorld community. Several different DoS
|
||
|
|
(Denial Of Service) attacks have surfaced that need addressed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This test release contains both a new client and server to address these
|
||
|
|
problems. This release is currently compatible with 2.30 servers and clients,
|
||
|
|
but this will not be true once the test period has completed. The next
|
||
|
|
release of QuakeWorld with be 2.4 and will be changed so previous versions
|
||
|
|
will no longer function. This is necessary in order to fully combat all
|
||
|
|
the denial of service attacks currently present and to facility some changes
|
||
|
|
in the prevention of cheating.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The QuakeWorld 2.33 client has the follow changes and issues addressed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Bug where client would crash during a level change if a skin name longer
|
||
|
|
than 16 characters on the server has been fixed.
|
||
|
|
- The client now ignores foreign connection requests while connected to a
|
||
|
|
server.
|
||
|
|
- A foreign message packet with C-style format strings no longer cause a
|
||
|
|
client crash.
|
||
|
|
- Large packets sent to the client could cause it to exit with a fatal error
|
||
|
|
- Timing issues with later versions of Windows 95 and Windows 98 that would
|
||
|
|
cause clients to mistime their frame times and result in a player that could
|
||
|
|
run faster/slower on a server has been changed and fixed.
|
||
|
|
- When the client is running in a window, going to the menu or the console
|
||
|
|
automatically frees up the mouse cursor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QuakeWorld 2.33 server changes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Server now unpauses when all clients disconnect.
|
||
|
|
- A possible server crash with large userinfo data has been fixed
|
||
|
|
- A minor buffering error in network data was fixed
