This is annoying when will it be fixed?

What is the problem with 2 master servers not working, does that mean that half the actual servers are playable, b/c i did notice that a few servers disappear like the forgotten warriors?

Did you try RC4?

I've removed the master server entries for #1 and #4 in C:\Programme\Armagetron Advanced\config\master.srv - Not a perfect solution, but it works...

Armagetron connects only to master servers from the master.srv file, so the removed master servers left out, that should not lead to any problems.

Why are those masters running trunk code, anyway?

Soooo, if I need to upgrade to some newer client version (currently using 0.2.8.3 beta2) to be able to connect via any master server, I'd like some input that it's definitely necessary to do so. I always pray to heaven that it's not master 1 or 4 I'm connecting to, since if that's the case I have to wait until the program quits to restart and pray again.

Upgrading doesn't solve this issue

The masters I'm running run trunk because there was that issue of it randomly crashing before.

The random (every ten minutes) crash we fixed the other day? Or something else? You know, because this is a bit worse than the server crashing and restarting :)

Yeah... was crashing with the odd packet-ness... I'd pull up the exact info but because my proper server's died and I'm running with the backup box I don't have it. I suppose downgrading to the latest 0.2.8.3 alpha would fix it?
