Checked to see if the new build of 3.6.9 was out there and it was so I installed it.  First time someone tried to join my game immediate crash.  Tried to join my own game from another computer.  Same crash.  Tried joining standalone.  Same crash.  Went back to the 1-1-07 3:30am build and now I get a warning followed by a crash.

Error from today's build:

Can't play multi at all now.

Now that's service.  Appears to be fixed already.  If anyone downloaded the exe files with a 1-11-07 date you probably want to get rid of those and re-download.

CVS contains constantly changing code. it might break from one day to the next. It's better to use the stable 3.6.9 instead of CVS.

I was talking about the 3.6.9 final build.  It was rebuilt with some minor fixes.  Some inferno code accidenly got linked in.  So if you have 3.6.9 final that is dated 1-11-07 it would be a good idea to get the 1-12-07 files.

The second I saw that bug I thought someone was running an inferno build

Which was my first thought too, so I went back to check and noticed that it didn't rebuild the code.lib for debug builds all the way.  Since I had built the Inferno builds first, it reused most of the old objs and screwed things up.

The release builds should have been fine though, luckily.

i'm still using the 1-1-2007 build. I thought that was final. We're rebuilding the exe's two weeks later  and keeping the build the same ?

It was rebuilt only because a pretty bad bug slipped through.  Unfortunately the rebuild had the "Inferno" problem, and needed another rebuild.  The bad build in question was online for all of about 15-18 hours though, and dated the 11th.

But that's it, we're moving on to 3.6.10 now.
