Maybe I am missing something here, but I can't believe this is even a question. Compatibility MUST be preserved! And please find a way so that players (like me) running 226b can still join servers running 227b.

I couldn't believe it when I tried to join HyperDM a little while ago and got a message telling me I needed to upgrade to a newer version of unreal.

WHAT?????????? Now I am being FORCED to upgrade if I want to keep playing on my favorite servers?

If I do upgrade will I then be unable to join 225 or 226 servers?

I agree that the community is fragmented enough now because of 226f and I fear that this will only make it worse!

I have over 2 years of work in a new mod that I hope will be released sometime soon. It gives me a headache to think that I now may have to worry about compatibility for yet another engine.

As a Sever Admin and as a Modder/Mapper...

PLEASE MAKE COMPATIBILITY A MAJOR GOAL!

Thanx!

What you are saying here is simply not correct. You should take the time to read first. This is not about general compatibility, a server admin can still decide if or if not he allows older clients...

Reply #24 - 02/10/08 at 18:51:17 Yep, nothing we can do about that. If everyone upgraded, there would be no "ohgod 225 and gold cant connect to 226" Everyone can use the patch to upgrade to the same version wich will then allow everyone to connect to the same servers --

Cannot join in 226f servers.

of course you can't. This issue was mentioned hundreds of times already, and was caused by legend. Due popular request, I made 227 compatible with UGold.
Who would run a 226f server anyway? Its replication is a complete mess...
