We had a blast, with twenty players, old players returned, that took along some new players. Total chaos in three different modes but on very smooth servers! We will definitely do this every year. More info: https://www.alienarena.org/

Changes in 7.72:Project 100: optimized the game to support at least 100 FPS framerate, 100 FPS server tickrate, 100 PPS packet rate, and mouse polling rate that aligns with the framerate, this greatly improves the smoothness and responsiveness of the gameExtended single player mode with more game modes: CTF and Tactical, and weapon modes: Insta and Insta/RocketsAdded fairer antilag calculation based on one-way ping with server-side configuration options and diminishing effect on very high pingsOptimized mouse movement logic (Linux-only, under cvar m_direct, recommended to set m_direct to 1)Add

Is Alien Arena still being developed? Yes, it certainly is: introducing Project 100, supporting the smoothest Alien Arena gameplay experience yet! The game engine and net code have had many improvements to fully support a smooth and responsive game experience for at least 100 FPS framerate, 100 FPS server tickrate, 100 PPS packet rate for client-server communication, and mouse polling that scales with your framerate (100 Hz at 100 FPS, 200 Hz at 200 FPS, etc.). With this, the gameplay should remain smooth even with older hardware or high ping, now fully lifting the game from its Quake 2 legacy

Linux users can take a look at the workaround or alternatives described at https://www.alienarena.org It's now possible to very easily download and install 3rd party maps hosted on https://www.alienarena.org by just using the installmap command from the console in the game. Next to this, all game operations are now hosted on alienarena.org, also irc moved to irc.alienarena.org. You shouldn't notice any difference regarding these changes.
