I posted this on the <3 Shack forums but I guess it wouldn’t hurt posting it here as well:
[quote]I haven’t forgotten about you and Montecarlo told me today that the <3 Shack was about to be resurrected from the grave to have some some good old fun with ET:QW.
We still have a couple of regulars from the Pacific region on our server (Montecarlo is just one of them) and I would love to help you out with this as much as I can. The easy thing to do for me is to start advertising this on our server and I’d be more then happy to do that. As far as I can tell from this link, things should be happening somewhere between October 19th and October 23th. and I’ll start spamming a link to that page on our server in the hope that it will alert people that something like this is going to happen.
As an aside: if people reinstall the game they might be in for a surprise because Evenbalance stopped supporting the game somewhere last year. The game comes with an outdated version of PB by default and you can’t get an automatic update anymore. People that are unaware of this will get kicked from almost every server that is still online and I think you should be aware of this.
There is a simple solution but it’s not an obvious one and some people may need some help with this.
All you need to do to get the required update, is open the console from within the game (press CTRL-ALT-~ at the same time to do that), type pb_security 0 and press ENTER. That will download the latest version of Punkbuster from the server you’re connected to do. It’s that simple.
It’s nice to see you’re doing something like this, and if I can help in one way or another, don’t hesitate to ask!
