i've written a balance analysis on the subject. it's early days of course, it'd be well worth testing it in a large server. a community match would be ideal since it's easy to make sure everyone on both teams has the map download; it seems impractical to use it in a public server right now.

Why not make it a server side patch for mesa? wont it work that way cus the map in your data folder is just so you can join the game, the ldd, lsd, ddb in LE when you put that in your server the map in your data folder acts like a file to be able to join it.

There is an additional mesh in the mesa2.mix map which forces the engine to increase the Z axis size used during netcode updates. This is required on both client AND server otherwise the positions they send to each other won't match up and you will end up spawning in mid air several hundred miles above the actual map terrain, falling for a very long time and then going SPLAT when you hit the ground.

As stated before, it's a stopgap fix until 4.0 is released and fixes the code which causes the problem. At that point the mesa2.mix map becomes redundant and can be deleted as the original Mesa will work properly.
