Tom, be patient!
Stop cluttering this topic!
For the last time this is a free game and Softcoder has his own life apart from Glest, give the poor man a break.

Ok I'll consider installing a 64 bit Ubuntu VM and get a build for 64 bit linux users, but that will take a little while.

Ok we played 4 player mega-glest (ubuntu linux) and it was AWESOME! No lag... even with tons of units and we played for hours. I think the networking is much more useful now... no crashes and reasonable performance.

I'm fighting with VS2008 express... its the most buggy IDE yet (when it comes to C++). Either its dog slow without pre-compiled headers or its fast but buggy with precompiled headers enabled!

Thank you Microsoft.. your agenda to annoy me has succeeded.

Ok anyone wanting to test out mega-glest on win32, here is the release build (which hopefully isn't choppy):

One more thing... I just re-uploaded (5 minutes ago) a slightly modified win32 binary that IGNORE's hidden files when loading xml's. This means people loading from an SVN snapshot can play without it crashing complaining about the svn xml files. Download file is the same:

http://www.soft-haus.com/glest/code/glest_3.2.4-4-beta1_win32-release.7z

Thanks.

While that's really nice, that's really bad, because that allows people to be lazy, and then it won't work in original Glest, picky-ness it better, it makes the mods more stable!

Latest version seems to work fine on windows (no more errors)   :)

I only tested sinlge player so I can't comment on the stability of the multiplayer atm.

When will the 64 bit win binarys be available?

Hi, softcoder! Thank you for the last available glest3.2.4-4beta1 code, but some of the documents inside the folder is damaged and the inside is too confusing. I ask you: Can you provide a separate code is now updated it to me, I just to be LINUX version, thank you!
By the way: just as you are used to in your own site to provide a separate code available for download out now on SVN code, files much too messy and damaged some of the documents, resulting in not compile!

I think the latest linux version still has this strange bug when connecting to a totally wrong ip, but thats all. Be shur it connects to an open server everytime and it will work perfectly.


By the way: On the titi mentioned whether the problem has been solved then??? Thank you!

Can the windows users please test the latest release in multiplayer??
It would be so nice to know that everything works fine, so we can go on with the development and release a final megaglest 3.2.4 version?
