Urban Terror 4.3.4 release

Although we make the best effort to ensure the stability of our releases, a bug occurring on very rare occasions fell under our radar in the 4.3.3 release.

The 4.3.4 release should fix this bug, which would induce random game crashes and freezes on specific maps (especially Eagle).

To update your game client, simply run the UrTUpdater executable from your game folder. You can alternatively download the full Urban Terror 4.3.4 pack or the 4.3.3 to 4.3.4 update package.

Information: This release contains several important security fixes as well as various bug fixes and improvements. It is highly recommended to update as soon as possible.

Changelog

• Fixed the random crash issues which happened especially (but not only) on the map Eagle #431

• Fixed several potential buffer overflow exploits

• Fixed the bug where unpinning a 2nd nade in a row and switching to another weapon would result in the nade being dropped on the floor. #26

• Fixed players being stuck with level 19 in Gun Game when g_randomorder was set to 1 #436

• Magnum: fixed the reload animation and the reappearance of the crosshair not being completely synced

• Bomb mode: fixed SurvivorWinner events not being written in the server logs in some situations. #293

• In order to free up some space in the "serverinfo" variable, and to try to prevent the "info string length exceeded" error messages on the servers, and the subsequent potential bugs:

1 Removed g_bombDefuseTime and g_bombExplodeTime from the serverinfo

2 Changed g_teamnameRed and g_teamnameBlue to g_nameRed and g_nameBlue

3 Removed the "Clan" and "Location" serverinfo vars from server_example.cfg - server admins are free to add them back to their configs if needed

4 Removed auth_tags, auth_verbosity, auth_cheaters and auth_log from the serverinfo as they weren't strictly needed

5 Removed dmflags from the serverinfo string, it's an unused leftover from Quake 2

6 This frees up about 115 chars in the serverinfo string

• Fixed output of the "where" client command

• Fixed map/next map vote menu ignoring previously highlighted map and calling vote with the first map on the list #122

• Menus: fixed inconsistencies in leading space in weapon select screen. #304

Updated engine

Thanks to an incredible community effort led by mickael9, you are now able to play Urban Terror 4.3 on an engine which is up to date with the latest ioquake3 features. This engine brings support for VoIP, Mumble, a new OpenGL2 renderer, and fixes hundreds of engine bugs along the way.

If you wish to try this new engine version (currently in beta), please open your UrTUpdater, go to File -> Settings and select the "ioq3-m9" engine.

Thank you!

Many thanks to the players who have reported issues on our GitHub repository. We would also like to say a special thank you to the DrunkNoobs clan as well as mickael9 and TTimo for their help with debugging the game crash issue.

Same here in OSX.. El Capitan..10.11.6 64 bit.. I tried out the beta launcher via the updater. It was a no go.. The launcher is 32 bit for a 64 bit game.. I, like you had to revert to the official UrT launcher..

This should be fixed.. I'm surprised that FS included this feature in the update app without fully testing it..

@KarlMariaSeeberg ..Someone gave me a link to the builds.. This one seems to work.. http://builds.iourtm...-10-d6db458.zip

Why FS does not update this for us OSX users in the updater.. Who knows... :(

I know it's beta.. but at least give us OSX users a beta that might work.. Not something that won't even open the game..

Update zip is busted...looks like it may be missing pk3 number 21 - it replaces 20 and the qvm's, but 21 stays.
Before and after the main screen bitches at me that 4.3.4 is out and the version I'm using is out of date....
The mirrors for the full download all point back to the same TLD and so the dl's are bandwidth constrained...

TTimo you have a lot of patience in dealing with the amateurs @ FrozenSand...

drunkrabbit, the updater was running fine for me on el capitan (10.11.6). only the app file in my urt folder was not working. i just unzipped the Quake3-UrT.app.zip file one more time and everything was running fine.

also superretard: they do not claim to be professionals but clearly state urt is a project from players for players. the demand for fs to not be amateurs is beside the point. not being happy about the zip not working correctly is something everybody can relate to, being judgemental about fs' skills is not. even more so it's counterproductive, you won't be taken seriously. i have criticized fs a lot in the past, based on that experience let me tell you: the criticism should always be limited to what's broken and should not be about fs and who or what they are.

@Superretardo the update zip is fine and doing what is expected from it. Only _020 and _qvm have to be replaced, the others should be left untouched. Don't blame FS for your own inability to do a simple copy and paste.

The 4 mirrors for the full download are on 4 different servers in 2 different countries.

The amateurs and volunteers at FrozenSand have a lot of patience to spend time dealing with people like you, Superretardo.

@Karl @drunkrabbit I'll have a look into the ioq3-m9 for OSX issues.
EDIT: Updater issue fixed

I'm curious -- has anyone done any extensive testing server-side for the new engine? Are there any noticeable performance or functional improvements? It's probably too early for all server operators to jump ship but I'm wondering if most of the benefit is client-side, or if it would be a worthwhile change on the server moving forward. So far I only see one production server using the new engine so it's hard to tell.
