Testing new AltServe on Hosted Worlds
We are testing a new AltME server on a few of our hosted worlds. It contains a few minor bug fixes. Once it is well tested, all hosted worlds will be updated.
Major Server Changes
We've moved several of our servers, including our website and hosting servers. Hopefully, you didn't even notice these changes. If you experience any problems, please contact us.
Hosted Server Improvements
For our hosted customers, we are moving worlds to new servers to help improve network performance.
AltME for Vista and System 7
We have made changes to AltME to improve installation on Vista and System 7. This change installs AltME without requiring administrative privileges in the private application and data area for each user (not in the Program Files area). This allows better per-user access to shared files and making it easier to locate files that are hidden in the maze of Microsoft Vista and System 7 file directories. (more)
