Hypegames communications regarding the GRRR Server

From Wayne at HypeGames:

Hi all,

Your server has already been updated to R10 and are up. I think it's just waiting on your side to download and install the latest game client patch.

I have set the servers' region to Africa, as required by EA.

There is a known possible issue of the server appearing grayed out in the favorites list in the game client (but appearing normally in the browser). If that happens, you will need to remove and re-add it to the favorites list.

If you have any other questions, please let me know. Via mailto:?subject=&body=

Thanks

Wayne

Hi Jarrod

Thanks

And from the link:

RSPs are switching from R10 to R11 now. Since lots of people are online playing, we are not going to a massive update right away.

Exact method varies from RSP to RSP, but it is done through rolling restarts / when servers drain out / when server admins opt to upgrade (via the RSP's control panel).


It fixes two things:

1) SQDM and SQRUSH levels are no longer automatically classified as Hardcore.
The reason why they were classified as such, is that the game's autobalance is inactive in those two gamemodes. This caused the server browser's new hardcore-icon logic to always consider those servers to run in hardcore mode.

2) Favorites handling has been restored.
Some R10 servers made people's favorites' list show the same server in all entries. This is corrected with server R11. Once server R11 has been properly deployed, some people will have to rebuild their favorites list. I don't have any statistics on how many people are affected.
