As a server owner I manually run the update. Auto-update is great for clients! But your post leaves my question unanswered because you posted an open-ended response.

15 days are now elapsed. Should we revert to 4.1.1 or waiting for patch?
I guess that if 4.2 will not be patched before UZ season start, nobody will move to 4.2 in the middle of a season. That means 4.1.1 until next year 2013 at least...

OK so since Aug. 10 there have been no apparent updates to the GIT repository containing the q3-code for 4.2, and there are no other updates to the game itself apparently.

Unfortunately seems that 4.2 servers are not very popular, and I can say as an admin that my server crashes twice a day, unrelated to bot_enable or running bots, and running only standard maps included in the game. Nature of the problem is cryptic, just says "signal caught" in the qconsole.log.

As of 4.2.003 I still see crashes appearing on some servers (even without bots). I have never experienced this problem, but I also run a dedicated server compiled with a newer ioq3 source base.

it seems that the server crash after some players fails to connect to the server.
I don't remember how to run the server in debug mode.
And tracking (with strace or something else) the process activity will generate too many information.

if anyone have an idea.

I don't use a compiled version from source, too unstable to lose my time to do it ;)

yes, I too have notice that 4.2.003 has a crashing problem. It happens with or without bots, and no custom maps at all.
I run a 4.1 server on the same server with same version of B3 on each. The 4.1 never crashes....ever. And the 4.2.003 crashes randomly 3-4 times daily.

Still waiting for the 4.2.004 release.

Side note: 4.2.002 ran totally stable...with same configuration...not sure what changed in 003 that caused it to start crashing again.

In any case it is hard to debug 4.2 if all people stay on 4.1.1 giving no feedback about issues...
