ET: Legacy stable release
« on: 04.01.2015, 12:07:05 »
The combined community effort of updating and maintaining the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory source code as ET: Legacy just released the first stable release 2.71a.

We have been recommending using ET:L over W:ET (2.60b) for some time now. The updated input and graphics libraries fix issues for some people (the biggest issue being AMD graphics FPS issues). Other security and bug fixes, as well as additional features make it an easy recommendation over the original W:ET distribution.

Thank you for to everyone who contributed to this release. A bright day and future for ET :)

After updating, it does not launch any more, but stays on black screen and then does not respond.
Attaching a debugger, it seems to go into an endless exception loop in the SDL DLL.
Re-installing RC4 it works again.

Maybe other people could test this as well?

I was able to verify the issue occurs with gameplay connected.
I created a bug ticket with additional debugging information including stack traces.

Or did you also try 2.71 RC4?
