ABR website is not being maintained

There are a bunch of broken links on the ABR website, including the most important one - the ABR client download link:

I can't find a web master addy to let them know. Does anyone know what is going on with ABR?

that why mods are so good. stats mean little to many.

Your stats will be saved even without the abr client.

If you cant get the client, you can do the following...

"First open C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Inside this folder you will find a file called HOSTS url:fileprotocol
Now right click on this file and uncheck read-only.
Open the file with notepad and add this line to the very bottom so you can remove it if you want to show vanilla stats again.

212.77.171.100 bf2web.gamespy.com "

This will effectivly do what the client does. As far as i'm aware. I use this added text line not the client.

Follow the instruction that MadTommy posted
or use the link that bosco posted yesterday to download the abr-client:

(click "Download" on the right)

It's a german site, but you just have to click on that download button. It's not that hard.

I don't need the ABR client - bosco already set me up with a link in another thread (https://www.realitymod.com/forum/showpo ... stcount=11)
Thanks!

Besides after looking in to it more ABR appears to be a European phenomenon. The vast majority of the servers running ABR are from europe (and I'm not). oh well...

we are trying to get ABR to work on our server (STRIKETEAM PROS). right now we're running a windows box and ABR is causing server crashes because of it. i think we're going to end up switching over to linux in order to get it working again.

the server is based in texas, by the way. hopefully we'll have ABR running on it within another week.
