CDO has been updated to serve 0.13 as well now.

Also, Windows builds of 0.13 are up, too.

Cheers!

> Does ping also depends on the location from my city?

adamo: Yes. It depends on the distance, the number of network hops that is, and the utilization capacity of those individual hops. Florida (CSZO) to Germany takes about 25 ms at the speed of light, and network switches are significantly slower than that. Usually, the closer the better, but within the same continent that could vary depending on whose ISPs have direct connections to yours.

Is there a tournament website somewhere?

Thanx neil!

It might be also helpful for the others during the tourney.

Does ping also depends on the location from my city? Because I get:

=> CAO: ~180+ ms (~14 players),
=> CSZO: ~130 ms (~19 players),
=> RHF: ~73 ms (~2 players),
=> CDO: ~35 ms (~1 player),
=> CLAN: ~35 ms (~16 players).

Anyway, no doubt I’d take CLAN. Bavaria is not that far from western Poland.

adamo: You might try, on the command line:
ping crawl.s-z.org (Florida)
ping crawl.akrasiac.org (Arizona)
ping crawl.develz.org (Falkenstein/Vogtland, Germany)
ping crawl.lantea.net (same location as CDO, different building)
ping rl.heh.fi (somewhere in Finland, maybe Tampere?)

Whichever gives you the lowest “time” is probably the fastest for you network-wise.

For actual game speed, that will depend to some extent on the server load, so you’ll have to actually play to find out (or guesstimate by choosing the one with the fewest players).

Awesome!!!
I hope RHF will be updated till the tourney.

Please write an instruction how to easily check the connection speed on every server to choose the best one to play. Because I’m not sure which one to choose.

Re android: I don’t know if we have someone to build it (our main android dev, frogbotherer, has been inactive for several months), but we’ll try.
