Hi everyone,
I decided that it was about time to do another Knights release (has it really been a year since the last one?), so I have just released version 23.
This is just a small bug-fix update. The main bug that was fixed was that I finally tracked down why the server list page was sometimes showing 0 players online, even when people were online. This turned out to be an overflow problem (basically, after the game had been running a few days, a 32-bit timer would overflow and this would prevent any further updates being sent after that point).
There are also a couple of minor fixes/changes for the Linux build.
Most users won’t need to upgrade, although if you’re running your own server you should upgrade in order to get the server list fix. (I’ve already applied this to the official server.)
Hopefully next year I’ll get a bit more time to work on the game!
The new release is available from the download page.
About Knights
Knights is a multiplayer dungeon bashing game. Players must explore randomly generated dungeons and compete to solve various quests. For more information please visit http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/.
Thank you very much, great enhancements for all the dedicated fans!
The server list page has been perfect for keeping the weekly games scheduled and going strong a very long time. Definitely grateful you found the cause of that players-online misread glitch, good find.
Happy New Year!
