Hi, I noticed that site cam was still active after my tank had been destroyed.

[Nielk1]

I think site might also have odd glitches if two humans try to use it at once.

Your in-game name is Sputnik?

[sabrebattletank]

Hmmm... I thought that was fixed...

[Killer AK]

wow somehow thier snipe kicked me out from being host and the game continued

[Baconboy]

What?
Their sniper rifle kicked you out and the game continued?
Is that right?

[Killer AK]

well it seemed that way lol but i doubt that's actually what happened

[MrTwosheds]

Game spy takes a while to remove games from the list now when the host crashes.
Have to try this out, next time I am actually blessed with the presence of another tester...

[-]NeRo[-]

hey is there anywhere that i can still download this patch cuz when i click the link it takes me to the 1.3pb6.1 patch.

[Red Devil]

you can set UPNPTimeout = 30 to help with sessions staying out there.
