Hello everyone,
As always, we're here to announce some small progress. Now that we have a forum, I can share the progress updates here.
Regarding last month's update: Many of you might have noticed that the lobby service has been revamped.
We've discarded the server-created lobbies and, after much deliberation, found a solution to have players create the lobbies themselves.
This means the server now only sends the player data to the host. Once the host confirms the player's acceptance, the player is marked as "in lobby" If this does not happen,
another host is tried, or the host themselves is sent to the player, depending on the situation. This ensures that ghost lobbies are now a thing of the past.
The lobby server is not yet fully developed. Functions such as blocked players,
prioritized players (like friends), and house inviting still need to be implemented and repaired.
This Month's Update
Regarding this month's update, we can say that it will affect the CRC.
We are now able to bring back official races.
This feature is still in development, and as part of this process, the file loader will be overhauled.
Unfortunately, this will require users to re-upload their images. However,
over time, we have found that the file structure can be handled much better and more efficiently,
and we will be implementing these improvements.
For the ORC itself, we had to build a small tool that allows us to push these races.
This means we are now able to read and understand the .Ig2 race files,
which will also have an impact on the CRC, which will undergo some additional revisions.
When this update will be released is still uncertain, but we will keep you informed.

Es gibt zwei Dinge die unendlich sind, das Universum und die menschliche Dummheit. Allerdings bin ich mir bei zweiterem nicht ganz sicher...
