CnCNet 3.1 released!

It is time for a new era of no port forwarding!

 

CnCNet 3.1 is now officially live with new dedicated server in Finland. If resources allow, we will add a secondary server in North America to speed up games played on that side of the world.

 

If you have slowdown problems with the dedicated because of your distance, try playing with direct ip or the legacy 3.0 option (currently offline) in cncnet.exe Settings. These games are "off CnCNet" so you'll be on your own and need a friend to play with.

 

Please upgrade ASAP and stop using the old 3.0. I will shut it down for a while to show an error message so people will understand to upgrade. The player counter will come back after some server side rewrites.

 

The whole change log from 3.0 to 3.1 is below.

Hehe, don't worry, I think I can settle down with this one for now. There is a minor "issue" that you can't run multiple games at one on the same PC connected to the dedicated server but who would want THAT? ;)
