The last time I saw a bug was back in Feb. I haven't seen one since. If I were to put the buggy tag on either V5 or V6, it'd be V5.

Haven't really noticed bugs on v6 in a while, but 5.12 definitely runs better/smoother/faster.

also fuk dat butt ugly GUI ****

I wish V6 would be released for the sake of no longer having to develop differently for the sake of 2 separate versions, but clearly there are still a lot of issues with it and so it's good that it hasn't been rushed out and forced on everyone. On the subject of trainer usage this is where it's within the power of scripters to implement solutions, whereas there's nothing a scripter can do about the lack of UDP in V6.

maybe if they fix the font, playerlist, the way Graal handles its windows, and work out the bugs in the v6 thread then we'd actually want to use it

God I miss the looks of v2.

Everything was better in green.

Just do what Era does and force them to upgrade by restricting certain features of the game to only work on v6.

v6: 44 (57%), v5: 33 (42%)

Not really a solution to the problem. V6 isn't exactly "completed" at the moment so forcing them to upgrade or restricting players from certain features isn't all that fair.

I want more users actually using it to gain more support to hopefully get it closer to a full release. Hopefully being the keyword, of course.

v5 is hardly a complete package. I don't see any bugs that are so tedious on v6 to prevent it from just replacing v5. However, I can't even tell if Stefan has been making any progress with v6 recently... and we're still stuck with an UGLY, poorly designed website.

The only client I've played that actually seemed complete was v2.31, which was the last of the v2 series.

If you want to force it just for your server then do a client version check when they log in and boot them off if their version isn't high enough. Either that, or script some anti-hack checks. You can find some decent ones by searching these forums I think, and if there's anything you need that isn't on the forums, I've got backups of some I've made before on my DropBox so just send me a forum PM and I might be able to help you out.

v2 looked the best but v4 ran slightly better iirc.

I actually took a screenshot of v3 back in the day:

You could change how v2 looked though.
