i think warzone should have a version warning in game or maybe an auto update so ppl would always have the latest version of the game because when u release a new version its hard to find ppl with same version to test the game online and single player isnt that fun... :-S

auto update would be nice, but a lot of people run older versions on purpose, im sure they will give us an auto updater when they can put down the big fixes for good and just work on the polish..we aint there yet

Yes, that is a problem, but I don't know of a easy fix.
We can't really autoupdate easily, since this game runs on linux, macs and windows.
We can poll the server for a version string, but we don't have a pop-up dialog yet...so that is out.
When you host a game, it tells you to update to the latest version--meh. Better than nothing.

Frankly, I want to drop online support for 2.2 and below, so people will need to update. As it is, we have too many versions floating around.

We could do it like this mac "game". If a new version is released, the game deletes a file for every destroyed unit, until Warzone is updated.

Well, we could at least have autoupdate on Windows and Mac.

savage XR added an auto updater to savage, and afaik its all gnu type code.

might be worth a look, and the game isnt bad either

Problem with that is, you need server access, and not everyone has that...(before, it showed a older version # than the one being played)

Trying to ping the server on wz start, and put a message in the lower left hand corner for the version.
