Know when to update PR 1.0

Hi Everyone,

New to PR 1.0 is the auto update feature that checkes if you need an update before starting the game. This is a major improvement and and takes away the fuzz of downloading it manually. Updates are brought out almost daily now.This has a downside however. If you update your're client (local pr install of the game) and the server runs on older version, then you won't find the server in you're list in PR. This is logic client/server stuff , the version has to be the same in order to play.

EDIT: forget about the routine below, it's not working (anymore?) If you skip the client update you won't be able to log to any server. The following message appears when you try to access a server: ?nline restriction: Joining public servers is restricted at this time. You will just have to wait untill you''re favorite server gets updated, and if it takes long notify and admin, although I think they always know it before you do ;) /EDIT


Here's a simple routine for you to use if you want to be sure that you can play on you''re favorite server:

* When you start up PR 1.0.XX and you see there is an update available. Note it, and Cancel the update
* Check out which version the VG Coop Server (or any of your favorite servers) is running by going to http://www.realitymod.com/prspy/. You can check the version in the upper left corner. (See Screenhot)
* If the version matches the one you already have installed: Don''t update! If the server version is newer, then you should update.
* If you see the server is outdated, let the admins know about it by PM or TS3
* If you update before the server is updated, then... bad luck. You will have to wait untill the admins have the time to fix it.
* If you are playing on the VG server and are disconnected for a while, also check PR Spy on realitymod.com to see if the server is updated. Update your client and you're back on.

That's it, I hope you now know when to update to start playing on the VG Coop server.
