Interesting...they could have at least talked to us  ;)
Don't expect them to respect any kind of established community... Although I'd have fun seeing their servers being crashed for a change.

That's a pretty wild development. I guess they figured they could bank on the new player base buying the original game, and thought they might as well fix a few things.

As clever as the damn devil, to the extent where it is shocking... The have to make profit out of every damn person they can, we're now in the same situation than Half-Life WON edition and Steam edition... In that case, I'll let you guess who won the fight.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

I wonder if many people picking up the game just after reading about this will be new to SWBF2(2005) in general. It'll be interesting to see some players acclimating (or re-acclimating) to the game. For me, since by the time I started playing on GR, all the people were already hardened players with an established meta in most of the game modes. It could be fun if there are new people, it may make the game more interesting.

Have been replying to Steam threads for hours... everyone asking the same questions over and over is starting to give me PTSD over when the next train of comments will come flooding in.

If you want to summarize, we can post it on the info site.

The update also shipped (by mistake most likely) what appear to full PC builds of the DLC Rhen Var: Citadel and less interestingly Pandemic's test map.

No mission script for Rhen Var though so you can't just play it out of the box, but that could be trivially rectified with a simple addon script.

How does it look like ? I'm curious and perhaps the biggest Rhen Var player of the world, I always thought that the version from the total conversion pack was looking soulless.

Well, Citadel was supposed to be included originally. Guess they didn't finish it on time.
In Progress:
--Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly Star Wars: Battlefront - Legacy Edition)

On Hold:
--Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron For SWBF1
--Endor: Imperial Base

So from what i've read here, the old server software should work, if pointed to the new master list, correct? Is anyone capable of doing it? If we don't know the master list details, wouldnt it be possible to get via wireshark when you load multiplayer in the game?

Nope.  The new MP protocol is completely different from gamespy.

If Disney was honestly trying to restore multiplayer to the game, they better get on top of fixing it. People are turning sour about all of the issues real quick...
