Seems good. Played my first game, but for several games the ping/player # were "???." Idk if this has to do with the patch/RakNet thing or if the game itself was messed up.

Played well for me just now. Played a mpi with Brenton, Yeah and Spike and was a good game. They joined no problem. One person left and came back, no problem. Loving it.

At first glance (a few games) it seems to work fine, thanks for moving us over to raknet and keeping the game alive.

There seems to be no one playing anymore. This one dude, Juzz, insists that 1.2 is superior and that everyone went there. But he's new to BZ2. And when I tried to help him, he called me a "stupid a**" who doesn't know "s***." So...yeah. Apparently he's done that to many people. And he's one of the only people who's playing. :|

Pardon? Juzz said that when he hosted a server and I joined. I tried to teach him about what happened with GameSpy and the Rak.Net update, but he just went on a rant about 1.2

Played a great game with Axe. So far, I'm liking the new patch even if it does have some problems.

Just had a bit of a problem with bad lag and gamestate checks but think it was somehow related to Juggs. He/she joined then exploded out of the world, then joined again and the whole rest of the game was troubled. I finally had to quit the game. I rebooted my pc. Juggs joined my second game and the same thing happened. Then Juggs joined again later with a fresh install with no mods (he/she had VSR installed on the earlier version). I tend to think that having mods cannot be a problem since Baconboy was in the world on the second game and had a bunch of mods installed (but not tested, including VSR) on his install and had no trouble in my game. Juggs didn't have trouble either after he/she joined with the fresh install.
I've noticed that while people are firing away halfway through the map you can hear and see their weapons fire at base.

I've been trying to reproduce the 'headlights on kill FPS' bug on 6.3 and am unable to do so. Has anyone who is running 6.3 noticed that 'lighting all' kills FPS on certain maps like it did in 6.2? It seems to me that the bug has been fixed in 6.3.

In regards to VSR. The 4.3 release will be coming soon and it's in its testing phase right now. I'll make sure that there are no asset problems or incompatibilities with players in stock game modes prior to its release.
