This, really. I'd personally be in favor of a forced release of the Anti-Cheat; but I totally understand the concerns from server owners with a heavily modded server.

However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

Wilo wrote on Mon, 05 September 2011 04:53 | I am supporting TT as long as it can meet my needs as a server owner. I will be porting my AOW over completely but due to the limitations at this time I will not be porting my Co-Op Maps.
I understand St0rm has this bad rep I guess, I am gonna find out why in a post on here later but, I do support this as a Forced Client update. Server wise I think the servers should be able to chose if they want to update.
It would be best to do a release without a force first, advertize like hell, and have who ever is a major server support it just advertize, then we switch to forced by the servers and then we for a full force client side, but never make the server owner have to use 4.0 if they don't want to.

As far as I know there isn't any kind of automated system to update servers, so even if we wanted to, we couldn't force update all the servers.
This isn't immeadiately a problem, as TT clients are able to talk to non-TT servers just as happily as TT servers.

As I recall servers do actually support auto-update in the same way as clients, that was part of the reason behind RenegadeServer.exe just running server.dat... the parent exe would kill the child process when it needed to update.
Since all servers are 1.037 from the start these days this mechanism hasn't been used in years, so who knows if it still works... especially since most servers just run server.dat directly and bypass RenegadeServer.exe...
Not 100% sure on this but I seem to think that's what used to happen.

Just tell people non-updaters will get sodomized by raven. Suddenly 98% of players will update. I and TD will probably not update because we like it.
Also, one problem I have been noticing, is that people don't want to update and help test this thing because they're terrified of the word "beta".
At Jelly I've noticed several guys don't want to help test this because, well, it has bugs. I'm not sure if this is out of ignorance, but if people don't help test it won't get any better.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I can't imagine this problem is just in Jelly.
I bring this up because a forced update won't happen if the patch doesn't meet what EA wants, a bug free, stable patch, meet their "quality standards". (Which IMO is funny since EA released Ren in a horrible condition)
If we can't get 4.0 bug free, then we can forget about this entire discussion of whether it should be forced. EA won't take it.
I think we should focus on step 1 and that is trying to convince players that just because it's beta doesn't mean it's bad. Maybe try educating people on how to create a 2nd ren install?
