What happens when a strong headed community is faced with a problem such as getting the list of servers for their favourite game?
You get the master server patch:
Reaching version 1.5.1, the following features must be noted:
- server list retrieved from Gamespy: this means AvP2 will be playable online for as long as Gamespy exists.
- game servers running version 1.3 or higher do not have to update!
- fixed the punkbuster-like player ID algorithm. This means (for server administrators) that is somebody ticks you off, you can ban him from that server.
So, get it while it's hot, and I hope I'll see you online!
This is a gift sent from the heavens!
Awesome ! Time to Hunt again ! ;)
So this means that i can find my old avp2 disc, instal the game, and play online even if the servers were shut down?
Exactly, my friend.
im so getting this once i find my discs again! now anyone got a spare key? ;)
Sierra shut down the server checking CD keys, so ...
I was running the 1.3 version of the "client" and getting the server list fine, but hadn't played in a while and when I tried recently, I kept coming up with an empty server list. Searching around, I found out about the 1.3-to-1.5 upgrade, which I installed but still come up empty searching for servers.
Should I try the full install above?
Try the 1.3 to 1.5.1 upgrade first, since it's a much smaller file. If that doesn't work alright, then use the full version one.
