While the majority of the team is heavy at work on Alpha 21, we are excited to give you A20.4 b42 stable today!

Server owners will need to add/modify these 2 new properties in the serverconfig.xml. These filters will help players find your server.

Values must be one of the following:
NorthAmericaEast, NorthAmericaWest, CentralAmerica, SouthAmerica, Europe, Russia, Asia, MiddleEast, Africa, Oceania


Values: Use any language name that your players would expect to search for. Should be the English name of the language, e.g. not "Deutsch" but "German". This is a filter name only and DOES NOT SET the language for players.

If no region is entered on the server end, you will not be able to find the server.

For everyone who played EXP:

There is no change between b41 and b42, we just had to adjust the buildnumber.

EDIT: Trimmed to just the important part....

TL;DR: It works. Server owners need to update their files.

Yup. I had to manually update a couple of the mods we use. It's always expected with a new patch.

Part of the fun of modding for a game still in early development.

Just validate a few times. Steam has been like this for a couple of years now. It isn't anything new.

Originally posted by pApA^LeGBa: My G-Portal server was updated almost iimmediately and from what i have heard Bluefang did also (at least what i was told, i don´t have a server at bluefang).

No performance issues for me.

But still the worst update ever breaking mods for no reason (this change could have been done either for A21 or right at the start of A20, no need to break all the mods in the middle of an alpha), Tanking the performance in cities, the hot mess the server search is now.

This could have been such a great alpha. But things that aren´t even gameplay related messed it up bigtime.

I think i would even prefer to play A17 over all this mess we have now.

Old Mods folder still works just fine. That did not break
