Argonath SA:MP 0.3b release 20:00 GMT / 21:00 CET

[David_Omid]

The title speaks for itself.

The server will be shut down at 20:00 GMT / 21:00 CET.

It remain down for any amount of time between half a minute and two minutes while I update it to 0.3b and make sure the compatible versions of the scripts and other files are installed.

You will need to download the 0.3b client in order to play on the server after the update has been installed. I recommend downloading it and installing it during the time that the server is down as you'll be able to connect to the server as soon as the update has been installed.

You can download the 0.3b client by going on www.sa-mp.com and clicking on the "Downloads" button on the left.

Or you can click on this link which will take you straight to it: http://sa-mp.com/download.php

Welldone sorting that issue David, hope the server runs smoothly like it did during testing.

[Sweeper]

Great.

Hope it's working.

Apparently the CET timezone changes (whereas GMT does not), so 8 GMT is actually 10 CET during daylight savings. So, two hours from now is 8 GMT.

[David_Omid]

Just a note to all people who already have 0.3b installed, I think a new version of the client has already been released.

It's called 0.3b R2.

[Devin]

Correct David, I checked the previous one from earlier and this one I just downloaded, they are different.
So I suggest all redownload the new client as it was just released now.

[Gandalf]

Good job David. We managed to switch to the new version within 24 hours of release.

[Joe_Areli]
