Due to a major bug found in the latest version of Alien Arena (7.31) a new release (7.32) will be available very soon.
This week we were made aware of a severe bug when using the Nvidia 191.xx series of drivers(which apparently is alot of people), in which the game will not run at all. This is unfortunately forcing our hand to release a new version to address this issue. For those who already have version 7.31, a patch will be issued to update the game to 7.32.
There is some good news though, as we will be including some new things in the patch and full release, so even if you don't have a problem with the game, it's worth updating.
1 - Dynamic
world shadows using shadowmaps. This was something in the works for a while but didn't make it into 7.31. An example of what this looks like can be seen here - http://offload2.icculus.org:9090/alienarena/Testpics/worldshadowtest1.jpg - notice the stairs now casting a shadow that has a fading penumbra!
2 - A new map, dm-zion2k9. Check the screenshots at http://icculus.org/alienarena/rpa/media.html to get a taste of what this map is like!
3 - A couple of items like splash damage giving off hit indicator sounds, and a nifty new spawn effect.
The patch and full installation will be made available to the public next week. Forum members will have access to the patch in the next day or so.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience, and happy fragging!Alienrace Newsletter
