@Sheeo,

I have a fixed version ready. Who do I need to coordinate with to get Phantom-X on 3640 when I release the update?

By the way, the Phantom-X repository is on Bitbucket @ https://bitbucket.org/Duck_42/faf-phantomx/overview

Hey, great! Updating it was on my todo list.

Just throw me a message and I'll get it updated. With the next lobby and server update we'll get this working as any other mod, allowing authours to push at will.

I will elaborate on this in an update soon.

gitlab.faforever.com? Community edition works grate, and you can mirror repo's from other sources. Authentication could probably also be integrated, a tab in the lobby?

How are you guys deploying at the moment? from tags?

It doesn't take long to setup.

@Sheeo,

I wasn't aware of this. I'll test phantom with 3640 and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Several people mentioned its happening on chat... so here is the post about it.

Its probably eating up a lot of server bandwidth needlessly not to mention slowing things down.

What's happening is that you're updating to patch 3640, then downgrading to 3637. Since you're only downloading small patches each time, it's not a lot worse than regularly watching old replays for now.

We'll revisit this and fix it for the next release of the lobby.

something broke in phantom-x with the new version and they got it loading on the old version as a workaround. I think it will be fixed next release. but this is the only way to have it playable at the moment.
