Even if I had not read the instructions, I would not make such a
mistake.<br>
I would have still done it the same way. Simply, you always patch the
main<br>
code base before the "add-on". COD upgrades to 1.5 base
before a MOD add on<br>
United Offensive upgrades to 1.5.1. Makes sense..<br><br>
For siq, I really doubt that all of us are imagining these crashes,
as the error logs are real,<br>
as are the recent bugs referenced in the thread posted by
"bits". I have seen the<br>
errors they refer to, and this is part of the TDM problem, so I guess I
was not imagining it,<br><br>

Here is the Zip to fix em:

above)<br><br>
This really bothers me. If you read the post, and look at the code
fragments, you really have to wonder about the QA process. They are
not "gotcha" type mistakes on boundary checking, they are
lazy<br>
copy and paste type mistakes. It is sloppy, slop. Simple as
that.<br><br>
As to why many have trouble and you are not? Who knows. But
for certain, enough of us are having the problem, that it is real. THe
fact that I see the problem on FreeBSD, RH9 and my hosted servers (RH ES
3.0, updated with the latest version via up2date RHN subscription, tells
me it is not likely specific to the Linux distribution, or Ryan's code
interpreter (which is really what his Linux program is...<br><br>
I would just like to see this fixed before UO gets more serious
competition. There is a lot of similar<br>
FPS's coming out in 2005 that are claiming to "top" COD.
I don't think anyone expected EA to do<br>
it with MOH PA (how unfortunate), but some titles look like they have the
potential.<br>

First on the horizon is 2/25/05.<br><br>
