All players and server admins are urged to update immediately to prevent the old BattlEye version to generate a lot of traffic (caused by a bug in the update system).
Your Soldat 1.4.1 should automatically detect this and open a download link for you. Install the file to your Soldat folder.
If the download link fails, here it is:
BattlEye.zip
(To find out your Soldat folder, right click your Soldat desktop icon.
Select properties. Read the folder in the "Target:" box.
Example: If it says: "D:/Games/Soldat/Soldat.exe", your Soldat folder is "D:/Games/Soldat".)
Also there is available a server patch. So attention server admins (this one does not auto-update!), the patch is here:
BEserver.zip
Download it now and update your servers please.
Also please set a new BEBanTime default variable in server.ini:
BEBanTime=5

Soldat:
There are a few things that need to be fixed still. Especially some network problems which will be resolved. Also BattlEye is fixed and will be fully functional in the next version. This will be a quick fix so expect it soon.
Also because I can afford it now I will be buying a dedicated server for all Soldat related sites and my future projects. It will be maintained and setup by FliesLikeABrick. This will be a huge step forward for Soldat and the entire community.
Crimson Glory:
I have ceased development of Crimson Glory and have moved on to working on another project. Crimson Glory is on a very advanced state, the whole engine is built, there is a lot of graphics done and is fully playable (without net-code). I had to come this far to realize that this is not the game I want to do. The main reason is the 3D aspect of it. Modelling and map making in 3D takes too much time. I want the game to be as easy to mod as possible, making it possible to edit the game just with a paint program not with advanced 3D editors and animators. I will release the game as it is now just to show that I wasn`t doing nothing during this time. You will see how it looks and how the engine works. The engine will be used (after switching to 2D sprites) in my next game. I won`t give out any information about it yet, but as I see it now, I truly think it will be the best game ever made in history.

The new Soldat version 1.4.1 is nearly complete. It will be out in a few days, probably this week. It`ll have an auto-update feature so that issues can be solved more quickly.
Along with Soldat will come the new dedicated server 2.6.1. The release of new server versions was on hold because of many changes in the network code and new features. So it`ll be worth waiting for.
Also as I mentioned a couple months ago the price of the registration will go up again. Now it`s only 11.99$, the moment 1.4.1 is out it`ll be 13.99$. If you have any questions concerning the registration I`ll be happy to answer, you can also ask everybody on the Soldat Forums. So if you haven`t registered yet head on to the registration page and buy Soldat now till the price is still lower.
