Battlefront needs AutoUpdate

[Jet Black]

This is crazy... I'm looking at ASE and there are loads of people, looks like great servers too, playing version 1.0??

I know if I didn't look for a patch, I'd never know it was available - there should be an autoupdater you can run at launch to make sure you're up to date.

100 percent agree!

You know there is a "check for updates" button? You can reach it by clicking the help button in the launch screen.

[Jet Black]

Still, there should be an autoupdate that will check everytime someone logs on... I saw over 100-200 players playing with version 1.0 and some very nice servers today. I would rather that they be playing with us, rather than seperate.

It's not that everyone forgets to updates, it's probbaly because they don't want to. Having an auto-update checker running everytime I start the game would be annoying. I have yet to update my game to the latest patch.

I agree with Rends, what could possibly be your reason for not updating? The game runs better, there is a better client, more options for admins and more stable servers.

Why would you want to keep playing 1.0?

[Alegis]

there is one big bug in 1.1, which gives you about 12 fps. I only know 2 people with this symptom, both an ATI card latest drivers.

Still I don't think thats the reason... Lazy?

Well it's not only the players. there are still some Servers running 1.0 software.
Here is a actualy example of unpatched Servers i just got from Gamespy:
(Server Name , Active players)

FerrisStateBattlefront (161.57.5.51:3658) 50 Players

[BA]BattleArenasSTARWARSBATTLEFRONTwww.BattleArenas.co m (212.42.1.20:3658) 31 Players

PTY_Clan_Public (69.44.56.234:3658) 24 Players

Plopsters_SWBF (217.158.150.54:3658) 20 Players

www.blackknightservers.com (38.113.97.232:3658) 16 Players

!!!PureGamerBFServer (206.173.165.60:3658) 24 Players

{pdX}SWBF-Just-for-Kicks (216.183.109.37:3658) 40 players

Ilangame.com Free Shooters (69.28.240.210:3658) 32 players


and some more...

You see most of them are full. I wonder why the Admins didn't upgrade to 1.1 yet.

6 of 10 most frequent (the time i checked) servers still runn the old Server Version 1.0

Who are the 2 poor guys running a ATI Rage pro ?

Well, the other small "patches" didn't do jack, so I could care less. I'm fine with the version I have. I'll probbaly update when they get a linux dedicated server released.

Please believe me when I say that you want to keep the option of updateing as an option to do by yourself. Novalogic have a system where you can't play thier games online unless you update. Last week they released a patch that radically altered gameplay and screwed up fps and hit detection. That S**t storm only got remedied this week after Nova decided to fix the problem they caused. Keep the upate system as an option.

Some form of notification for the ignorant would be nice though. At least let the people know that they're running an older version.
