I want every single person here to go to the following website: http://www.projectmagma.net

This excellent group of amateur programmers has been working with MythDev to maintain the codebase of the Myth series for years. They have released major patches and improvements, all without breaking the game.
Indeed! They also HAVE THE SOURCE CODE TO THE GAME. If we had the source code to Renegade, we could just fix the flaws in it that allow cheating instead of having to shim in a third party app and hope it works on everyones various configurations.

RenGuard has broken the game for many of the people who play...read the forums! Many don't post, they just stop playing.
Actually looking at negative posts is not a very accurate determination of the overall state of things. Of course a support forum for anything is going to have mostly posts from the people who are having problems. If you buy a new car, and it works as expected, do you go back to the dealership and wait in line just to say OMG MY CAR STARTS AND RUNS LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO! Smile

I have no doubt you are sincerely having trouble. Believe me when I tell you that RG was not rolled out untested, there is just a huge difference in having a testgroup of 100 people, and a production system supporting 5000+ users with varying configurations. There are some issues beyond our control, like users who have installed the Beta of Windows XP Service Pack 2, which even Microsoft warns breaks a lot of applications, especially ones that work the way Renguard does. We are doing what we can to work with the people having trouble, including giving them debug versions of RG that give us information on what is causing it to crash. As Zunnie pointed out, actually very few people are having trouble, just a handful compared to the thousands of successful installations.

In short, you should not have sat here for a week fuming about RG not working for you. Post your problems, come to the support IRC channel, let us help you and in turn you will be helping us identify others problems and to make RG more stable.
