Attention, server admins! If you're running servers with the Build 38 package, please grab this small patch and replace the game library:Windows:
gamx86.dll version 1.928Linux:
gamei386.so version 1.928(Note: These links will likely be dead after the next full release. They're just a temporary patch).
Simply extract the file to the paintball2/pball/ directory and replace the existing gamex86.dll or gamei386.so.
I made a small error when cleaning up some of the team code, and the auto-balance will try to force players to the wrong team, causing a flood of messages and sometimes kicking. This patch fixes it. It is only necessary for servers.
While I was in the code, I made a minor tweak to the algorithm as well. It now takes into account how long you've been playing on the map and will make players that have been playing longer less likely to be auto-switched.
If you're curious exactly how the autobalance algorithm works, or you have some feedback on it, <a href="
