I know that Coffeeburrito recompiled RakNet so that it doesn't crash the servers anymore, but I have yet to see another release with the working DLL. What's going on?
But as far as I understood they want to make the next release without that dependency. So I'm a bit confused too.
Next release will not have the dependency, however, currently, it's needed. All servers should have the MS VC runtimes package honestly, but, it's not required. Also, we didn't assume that everyone had it, it was a slight oversight on our part, as we didn't think that the peice of code in question needed the VC runtimes. So, it's fixed for the next version, however, no hotfix will be released now.
i'm thinking it is required. my server cant startup with stats enabled AND yes i used the raknet.dll the CB gave to me (the one he recomp'd)
My change to RakNet.dll from version 3.3. I didn't know which version got used earlier and used newest one to get Linux stats ready. To fix it's enough to recompile the DLL project with VS 2005 *without* SP1.
