First off, we would like to thank everyone for your patience while we have been working through the issues involved with the Project Reality v0.5 release. We have spent the last two weeks working on resolving various server crash issues and other performance problems. With that said, we are proud to officially release the Project Reality v0.509 Server-Side Update.
Image
This server side only update resolves all known server crash causes, greatly improves lag problems, and also addresses some important game play dynamics issues. All server administers should uninstall there current server version of PR v0.5 and then install the PR v0.509 Server Update. If your server participated in the Open Beta, you need to download the latest version linked below as there were some minor changes.

Players DO NOT need to download anything as this is a SERVER ONLY update.

Important Changes and Updates:
  1. The use of CP groups is now less liberal than with the initial release.
  2. Flag capture timers have been extended and it now takes much longer for flags to go neutral.
  3. Server performance should not deteriorate over time.
  4. No time limits on Officer Kit requests.
  5. Rally Points can now be set every minute (used to be 3 minutes).
  6. Anti-Air weapons are now much more effective.
  7. Heavy Anti-Tank and Anti-Air kits can no longer be requested at Rally Points (only at APC’s, supply crates, and main bases).
  8. A 10 second timer has been implemented that will now kill a player that stays in a vehicle position with the wrong kit or that is not in the same squad as the player that "owns" the vehicle.
  9. All jets now have a 30 second warm up time.
  10. For a complete list of changes and fixes, please view the Change Log.
Server Administrators can get the files here:

Players can view the Change Log HERE.

Thank you again for all of your patience and we hope you find this update of Project Reality enjoyable. The team has already begun work on PR v0.6 and we making great progress on creating another feature packed release. There is an insane new element coming to Project Reality in v0.6. In German it starts with a “K” and ends with an “N” .. Can anyone guess what it is?

I looked over the changelogs, very nice.... How exactly do you fix singleplayer bugs with a server patch, though?

The anti air effectiveness was much needed... I remember firing at least six grail rockets at a blackhawk on Jabal, with an APC ammo supply next to me, and either not a single one hit or they didn't do enough damage to kill it.

One word. Window. They all go through the window its like :shock: but yeah :-P

So will 1 AA shot set them on fire? It should set them on fire so they only have say 27 seconds to get repairs or they are boom!

Added 10s timer that will kill a player that stays in a vehicle position with the wrong kit, or not on the same squad as the player that "owns" the vehicle.

What is the point of this part of the update, more the second part than the first?

POW = Kriegsgefangen

Good call. I don't see how that would work though...
