As you know, none of us run the 3355 patch due to the crashing it causes.
This is also why we do not use it on our server.
In thier infinite wisdom, the anticheat programmers and epic games have decided that if you do not upgrade to that version, you will not be able to play on any servers.
I cannot upgrade the holodeck and keep it in it's current configuration.
I cannot upgrade to the newest anticheat software on the holodeck due to this problem.
We have a few choices.
We can run the holodeck without anticheat.
It will have to ramain an invasion only server from that point on and will never be able to run any competative game types.
I can upgrade the SF servers to the new anticheat, but this means anyone using an older version of the game will not be able to connect and will in fact be kicked automatically if they try.
We can just leave things as they are. One way or the other, if you intend to play on any servers other then our own, you will be forced to upgrade to the new version.
Epic is working on a newer patch as we speak, but that may or may not fix the problem.
I have access to a beta of the new patch.
If any of you would like to volunter to test it I can backup the holodeck and install it there and see what happens.
If you would like to try it, please PM me and I will forward you a link to it.
Meanwhile, please think about what you would like to do with our servers in the future.
