Version Beta 2.1 von
Synergy ist heute veröffentlicht worden. Damit behebt das Mod-Team die Fehler, die seit dem
Release der langerwarteten
zweiten Beta-Version aufgetreten sind. Neue Features sind aber auch dabei.
Das Mod-Team hat demnach neben viel Feedback auch viele crashdump-Dateien erhalten. Damit konnte es Bugs analysieren und beheben, sodass jetzt die Server stabiler laufen sollten. Neu sind unter anderem anpassbare Waffen für die Mapper, einige Konsolenbefehle und ein Menü, in dem man eine Spielerfarbe und die Source-Spiele festlegen kann, welche Synergy beim Start mitladen soll.
Herunterladen kann man die neue Version bisher nur als Patch. Wer die Mod noch nicht hat, muss daher vorher die Beta 2.0 installieren:
