v0.9d:
* [ADDED] Digitally signed file lists
* [ADDED] Debug functionality to ACENICHelper (can help to fix serverside
timeout issues)
* [ADDED] Tweaks to prevent overly aggressive NAT routers from killing ACE
connections (and subsequently causing timeouts)
* [ADDED] Windows 8/10 client support
* [ADDED] FreeBSD 8.3/9.x server support (IPv4 only)
* [ADDED] Live file list updating (the new updater can switch to new file lists
without rebooting the server)
* [ADDED] Disassembly dumps in hook detection logs
* [ADDED] Protection against replay attacks
* [ADDED] System DLL verification. This feature is somewhat experimental and
might have to be removed later. If it works, it will catch some previously
undetected cheats. The down side is there might be performance issues for
players with (really) old pcs and there might be some false positives.
* [CHANGED] Various improvements in the PE scanner module
* [CHANGED] After years of struggling with the antiquated gcc 2.95 compiler,
I've decided to split the serverside native component into two separate
shared libraries. ACEv09d_S is now a small(ish) shared library that
requires gcc 2.95. The bulk of the serverside functionality is in
ACEv09d_M, however. This library compiles with modern compilers and is
substantially more reliable and easier to maintain.
* [CHANGED] Improved detection of usable network interfaces on Windows
* [FIXED] WINE Kicks
* [FIXED] Lots and lots of bugs

v0.9c:
* [FIXED] Crash when using mutate ace compattoggle
* [FIXED] False positive vtable detection (dsound.dll)

v0.9b:
* [FIXED] Critical bug in the vtable scan. As a result of this bug, players were
kicked when switching from v0.8h to v0.9 servers and had to restart their game
in order to fix this.
* [FIXED] Incompatibility with NexGen. The root cause for this is an Unreal
Engine bug which I'll fix at a later date using ServerCrashFix.

v0.9:
* [ADDED] You can now specify the port you want ACE to listen on. There is
also an option to allow ACE to try other ports if the specified port is not
available.
* [ADDED] There is a new option to enable checking for spectators.
* [ADDED] Updated protection against both uscript based and native cheats
* [ADDED] Official support for TO 3.40. ACE v0.8h already had experimental
support for TO but on most of the TO maps, automatic installation of the ACE
dll failed.
* [FIXED] False positives
* [FIXED] The infamous dodge bug (needs testing!)
* [CHANGED] ACE can now automagically figure out which network interface it
should listen on. As a result, you no longer need to specify -MULTIHOME on
some Linux servers.
* [CHANGED] The whitelist/blacklist is now a plaintext file. Admins can easily
add and remove files from this list themselves.
* [CHANGED] Kick messages should be more comprehensive
* [CHANGED] The serverside components were almost entirely moved to C++ and are
now multithreaded. This should greatly reduce the load on the server.
Because check coordination and feedback processing now happens in C++, the
ACE interface was completely revamped. However, to maintain compatibility with
existing mods, player identification information (such as hardware ids) is
still accessible from uscript.
* [CHANGED] ACEIpDrv was merged with ACE_S
* [CHANGED] Client-side config is now read from/written to a version
independent config file. As a result, future versions of ACE will automatically
use the same client settings as the v0.9 client.
* [CHANGED] New networking system. The new system is much more resillient
against laggy/lossy connections.

Wonder if it will detect anything new (like the last several years of cheats). Pug time?

If this stops one particular cheat, it interests me and I could see myself running a few events for 99. If it doesn't, then it's nice that anth is updating ACE but it doesn't do much for the competitive scene.

Waiting on a few things. Getting people back playing will require a fair bit of effort and it becomes exponentially harder with failed attempts or no momentum.

Maybe a KOTR with 10 people showing up would be sufficient? I miss instagib. Pre KOTR practice 6 8 10 people? The past goals are too lofty.

all the players are still around, mingling with other communities and playing other games..it would be a question of if they would bother picking the game back up for more than a single tournament

the base gameplay issues are still there, even if the anti-cheat has been updated it doesn't fix the 3d + fall back strats that were featured prominently at the end

A dabble in increased movement speed with the current fire rate, or decreased fire rate with the same movement speed could be interesting. Easy to do and could have a positive effect on the meta (a guaranteed decrease in accuracy vs more movement opportunity, or both).

lul yes sauron i think the best option right now is to change how the game was always played since people love change and on top of that there is loads of people willing to try it and test it!

ahahah

It is so sad to say this but what an effort in vain...Unnecessary work really from Anth. There was a time when it mattered, no longer.

Even if banned all cheats for life and it was the best code in the world it wouldn't change a thing!

What to do:

- Be nostalgic and remember

- Make some sporadic tournaments to commemorate good old times

PS: The change to this website came very odd at the time and became the biggest foreseen flop in ut99 history....basically i don't even remember the old forum anymore and there was where all the good old stuff and prime of NA ut99 scene were....

"Oh Well"

Had to be tried though :mrgreen: (i do like the white background better)

I disagree Morph. I have been talking to alot of players and each and every one seems to be enthousiastic about having a new AC in a new league. This game has so much great memories and alot of players are still around. Tons of players just spread out over several games like UT2k4, UT4, CS:GO and so on. A sweet well organized event could very likely be a moneyshot.

This AC might just be the boost the UT '99 community needed to get a couple of nice "cheat-free" leagues going. I am certainly looking forward to it. We could even start out with one single match to be our first new event. A team EU vs team USA match on a sunday or something to see what the show up is gonna be like, and take it from there.

Maybe it's unnecessary work from Anth, but you will never know untill you've tried.

Too little, too late in my opinion. I'll signup for KOTR but won't commit to leagues due to Overwatch. \o

TL in IG is changing the fundamentals of the game type. Very different than a minor change in speed.

bigger number of watered down teams is the only solution, even if few teams end up being unbalanced. You can't bring any other idea because you can't risk even a few players opting out, out of disliking it.
