Instructions:
Simply extract the included .zip file over your existing /mwll folder.  It will automatically update the relevant files.
 
Please note that this fileset update is intended ONLY FOR DEDICATED SERVERS.  If you apply this fileset to a client machine it will result in your MWLL build being unable to launch.

It carries no benefit for client machines, it only resolves server crashes.  This fix has already been applied to MWLL Debug, A.I. Debug and the CHHs Red servers.

Cool.

For interest, what was causing the server crashes?

I am unable to duplicate your invalid archive state when downloading and extracting.  This exact archive was used to update CHHs Battlebox Red.

If you are getting an invalid zip, try updating your WinZip or WinRar. Alternatively, try using 7zip.

The crash was caused by a bug in the betty notification when a mech got legged.

Thanks.  I didn't realise such a seemingly peripheral thing could actually crash the server.   I live and learn.

Nice find you guys. Now on to the fps issue haha. Seriously though I'm playing at 800x600 to get prepatch fps and even now I'll dip as low as 11 during some combat  from an average of 50, and a high of 80 in the hangars.  It's bizarre.

I think this is a sign the the patch reduced legging as an overpowered tactic since servers didn't crash that often :)

This patch is not corrected the problem with the fall of the server.
The problem so far has been seen on the server running in a mode TestofStrength.

Interesting. Our servers have been running stable since the release.
