Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
Ive never been been a fan of cars that 'float' through the air instead of falling like they should, and im not keen on dark maps either.
So ive made Deathrace 2 v3 this morning, a simple modification of the new Deathrace 2, swapping out the floating stratos with the lights, for the standard one, and made it daytime.
Also there are going to be some more new maps coming out soon
Im posting this to make sure that all you Interstate players are protecting yourself against virus attacks.
While the obvious start is a virus checker, these slow down your PC, and most of the time you have to turn them off during games, leaving yourself vunerable. With the right software, and a bit of common sense you can protect yourself without the need of a virus checker always running.
1. Step one, get some good firewall software. While many recomend ZoneAlarm, I personnally find Sygate Personal Firewall ( Free ) better.
2. If you use XP, disable the built in firewall as its useless, and has been shown to neither protect against m$ flaws, and usually blocks stuff that you want let through. Theres plenty of guides on the web for how to do this so I wont go into this.
3. Install Spyware Blaster which stops virus that use Browser exploits to infect your PC.
4. Make sure all your accounts, this means your parents, sisters, brothers etc have a password set and do not just login in straight away. It does not have to be a hard or cryptic password, your not stopping hackers, just virus's that connect to your PC by unpassworded accounts.
5. Always be cautious about all attachments, including files by instant messaging. Dispite people being aware, many still open virus because they have been tricked by the email praying on a human weakness or pretending to be from a trusted site.
Take these first steps towards protecting yourself, and you will be more likely playing Interstate than re-installing over a corrupt windows.
Ive put the CTF and Battle Park on the the server used for beta testing as it still has some contract left. But its only 14 players, and i would recommend you make the most of the 40 plus player servers while they are still around.
