ET:Legacy 2.74 has been released

After nearly 8 months and some additional delay, the ET: Legacy team is happy to present the most advanced, stable and optimized ET version ever produced.

This new ET:Legacy 2.74 release adds optimized LAN player detection, better unicode support to the client, console smooth scrolling support, omni-bot compatibility with Linux 64 bit servers, Lua 5.3 and libraries updates. It fixes a few critical issues and adds a wide range of smaller adjustments and optimizations.

The Legacy mod has also seen countless improvements and bug fixes. If you are looking for the most authentic Enemy Territory experience available today, you should give it a try!

A comprehensive changelog is available on our wiki. Ensure to read the installation guides and have a look at our FAQ. ET:Legacy is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux 32 and 64 bit platforms.

We would like to thank all of our regulars contributors, fans and helping hands that participated in our testing sessions. These tests revealed a few issues that we have been able to fix in time to make this release as stable and smooth as it gets. Your help, bug reports, patches and global support made it possible!

Warmup: ET:Legacy 2.74 begins in...

ET:Legacy 2.73 cancelled...

... instead, say hello to ET: Legacy 2.74!

We've been working hard to (finally!) provide the next release as bugs free and enjoyable as possible. However, our last public testing sessions revealed some annoying bugs that we couldn't find without the involvement of long time contributors and public testers from the community. All of these issues are now fixed, just a few hours ahead of the planned release.

However, in order to ensure the best quality of this long awaited release, we'd like to organize a very last public testing session to avoid any bad surprise at the last minute. Join us on our IRC channel #etlegacy around 19h00 CEST (17h00 UTC) on Sunday, August 16th and ask for joining the test session. We'll have fun together (and look for eventual issues) before officially releasing ET: Legacy 2.74 a bit later the following week!
