There was a stupid bug in the autoteam code that caused the server to lock up. I have put up a patch, containing both Windows and Linux binaries, as well as some patched source files for those who compile themselves as "server_crash_patch.tar.gz" here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102911&package_id=110363&release_id=468530

Make sure you get this patch if you are running a server!

Also, there are some easter eggs in the included client binaries: the menus will follow you if you're sinking in water or falling off a map or ledge, so players might want to try those out as well.

Posted this as a separate thread just to make sure everyone sees this.

Thanks eihrul, I hadn't had crash yet on my server so I suppose thats a good thing anyway.

Just thought I'd quickly commend you on the great work you must have done on the netcode :) hosting 6 players fine atm.

That link gives me a "could not read file" error (although the link seems to be fine...). Use the link provided by eihrul and pick the server_crash_patch.dmg if you're on a mac.

Wow, the Menu that keeps your level make a _huge_ difference!

Wow, weird: I was just writing something about the shader-settings in the Mac-launcher and the in-game slider, because I only got 2 fps in Thor if I had shaders enabled, and now after relaunching Sauer for about 10 times with different settings (shader only), I get 100 fps in the Thor cavern even with shaders at max... weird. GREAT MAP!!
