OS upgrade (in Changelog)


AdminNightStrike January 17 2017 10:43 PM EST

I did a major in-place upgrade of the server OS the other day (while CB was running!), and it went surprisingly smoothly. Even the reboot was less than a minute. I know the user base is small these days, but it sure is a testament to the powerfulness of this server platform that we use (for those curious, years ago, the same software ran cnn.com).

Anyway, I just thought I'd leave a record here stating that the upgrade took place. If you see anything newly broken, post here.

thanks for the update! so first thing i notice is that my decay isnt doing any damage. against targets with no AMF it is still hitting for 0 every round. Even against targets with an AMF its not doing any damage to my casting minion or the target.

You're welcome, all. I'm amazed at how smoothly that went. In-place upgrades are usually devilishly difficult, but it really worked!
