First post updated, this patch is available now. Can a mod update the topic title to reflect that it is out?

**Bamboo** · 03-20-2008, 01:24 PM

Who else is ready to try it out tonight?

**ednos** · 03-20-2008, 01:46 PM

Dslyecxi · 03-20-2008, 03:34 PM

If the server is not going to use the BattlEye protection, make sure it has:

Quote:

battleye = 0;

in the server config file. This will save on headaches.

**Bamboo** · 03-20-2008, 03:40 PM

YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am running with 4 full gigs of RAM again.

Is it safe to say that with this patch VON is 100% viable at all times?
