Known Client Issues

In case you don’t get a metaserver list:

• If you’re using ISDN or DSL verify that your MTU is 1492, not 1500.
• Do not use a nameserver of Deutsche Telekom or T-Online.

• Double text issues still a problem on recent Ubuntu (Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid) based 64bit systems when using the GTK2 (trunk and branch) client.
  • http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1876788&group_id=13833&atid=113833
  • Compile the client using the latest source code resolves this issue, or one needs to use the gtkv-1 client

• Dec-23-2007: A Mandriva 2008 user reports doubled up keypresses in crossfire-client-gtk2 that were previously only reported for version 1.9.1 on ubuntu. The report indicates gtk2 2.12.1-2.1 was present. The reporter indicates that the doubled up keypresses DID NOT occur when typing in the metaserver dialog. The GTK1 client is unaffected.

crossfire-client-gtk2 under Ubuntu Edgy (v1.9.1-1) and Feisty (v1.9.1-2) (untested on other versions or releases)

• We’ve heard there’s a weird seemingly ubuntu-specific bug in ubuntu’s package of gcfclient2, with it repeating each keypress twice when typing.
• Feb-22-2007: Bug reported at LaunchPad, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/crossfire-client/+bug/87194
• Sept-18-2007: Player feedback indicates this problem has been “resolved” in v1.10.0 of the client or if the client is built from SVN source
