Sweet!
I'm downloading now. I hope the server admins can keep up.
I installed the mod and hopped in an infentry server and it was just as bad as it has always been. I however, did not restart steam but it should have overwritten the files anyway, correct me if im wrong. I believe I was on the latest version as I was able to join all the 2.22 servers just fine.
Just awesome !!! Keep it up :)
