Hello Yogscast viewers!

We would like to welcome the estimated 25+k new players in the last 24h which are brought to us by Yogscast! Tnx guys! Yogscast will be playing all kinds of cool and interesting games till christmas, make sure to check them out. If you like what they are doing (or if you are in a general good christmas mood), don't forget to help out with their goats!

Some interesting stats (at least for a geek like me) of the last 24h:

- 55GB of traffic (normal is ~10GB)
- 4M pageviews (normal is ~0.6M)
- 60k unique visitors (normal is ~10k)

Those are some pretty impressive numbers ;) They are a collection of Yogscast, our just released stable 1.1.4, and of course our regular visitors.

From a SysOp point of view I am very happy with our new server (thank you OVH.de!), it is handling the (heavily?) increased traffic very well, and I have had no stability issues with our webserver or the software :) That makes a goat like me a happy bunny :D


Happy playing guys, and I hope you enjoy OpenTTD as much as we do!

OpenTTD 1.1.4

Sinterklaas might have decided to go for less reckless speed, thus visited some places early and also dropped a parcel with OpenTTD 1.1.4. While it may not be exactly on time, the bright side is that you'll have it one day early ;-).

Compared to the RC this new release brings you again less crashes, fixes a nasty memory bug and improves handling of ships near locks. As usual you can get the release from our website, bugs, as usual, go to our bug tracker.

Happy Sinterklaas!

OpenTTD 1.1.4-RC1

It's autumn in the north, and it's release time! To provide you with the best playing experience throughout the dark cold nights in the next months, we are preparing a new bug fix release. (If you are on the southern hemisphere, just go swimming or so :s )

The first release candidate for 1.1.4 provides fixes for bugs in various areas: NewGRF support, NoAI, GUI and savegame compatibility. Please help testing it, and report the bugs you encounter to our bugtracker. You can find the binaries in the usual spot on our download sites.

Have fun!

OpenTTD 1.1.3

Today we released OpenTTD 1.1.3. Compared to the previous release candidate it brings you three important bug fixes for situations which could crash the game.

Note also that users of Windows XP which do NOT have service pack 3 now need to use the binary for windows95/98/2k due to changes in the compiler

Find the game on our website and have fun with it :-) Please report bugs in our bug tracker

OpenTTD 1.1.3-RC1

Today we released the first release candidate for the upcoming next stable release. OpenTTD 1.1.3-RC1 contains the usual amount of bugfixes, but also the linux compile farm has been fixed, so generic linux binaries are again linked statically.

In contrast to what is stated on the download pages, Windows 2000 users have to use the Win9x build for now.

Please help testing the release candidate. If you encounter any issues, report them to our bug tracker. Thanks!
