Hi all!

The new patch for Serious Sam:The Second Encounter is almost there. Among other things, the patch will bring a totally new netcode, and since I'm the guy responsible for it, a few extra lines from me would be adequate.

Good news: we switched from peer-to-peer networking to full server-client. This means that sync bads are a thing of the past. No more demos going haywire, and no more getting kicked from the coop game just when the adrenaline is at it's highest. Also, prediction for players and especially enemies is much simpler and straight-forward than before, so latency should no longer have a large impact on the framerate. We are currently doing final testing, smoothing out some minor glitches and quirks, so it should be out in no time.

Bad news (there always are bad news): old demos and saved games will not work. Sorry guys, but there was no other way.

Cheers,
