No madness here, all working fine. :)

Played it a bit with Snokio, Tut and Jewelz - never got around to playing the demo so all new for me and my first impressions are that it's a nice improvment over the original. Feels like the extra variety is exactly what was lacking.

Oh man, it just gets better.

My highlight so far? The swamp level where you have to go through the level again backwards (minus any items you picked up first time round).

You get hit by occasional thunderstorms, which lower visibility and attract the horde - until you dive inside to find shelter.

It also makes everyone's voice comms really quiet so you have to shout over the wind - genius.

I missed that bit :sad:, my impressions was good so far, a few extras over the original, verdict is still out though

Not fixed the exploit that allows a player to download the server's config file noting the rcon password :sideways:

No public servers till this is fixed obviously.

So are IcePick and ColdStore (or should that be ClodStore as I originally typed it?) up and available for tonight?
If they are restricted to our Gaming Group I guess no-one who is uninvited should be able to find and use them?

Correct. However, I will remove the rcon password from the config file and set it via the startup command line. Problem solved :)
