springlobby now requiring spring 0.89 locks out linux users while z-k servers are still running 0.88

Is it possible to tell Springie to start servers with engine version 0.89? My Windows-using friend was able to create a .88 and then use !setengine to change it to 0.89, but since I cannot even join rooms, I can't do it that way.
Is there something like
!spawn mod=zk:stable,engine=0.89 ?

You can set DisableVersionCheck in springlobby.conf (or whatever the equivalent file on Linux is) to 1.

@ KingRaptor

Yes

A few more details for Linux users:
File is located at
~/.springlobby/springlobby.conf
On my system the option is on line 21 (just search for "DisableVersionCheck" if you don't see it)
Make sure springlobby is closed when you change the file (else it may appear to undo that change when it is closed and ignore it in the meantime).

PS in notalobby dididint even noticed that spring engine was updated... version checking was disabled long time ago :)

Awwww, options in the .conf file that aren't exposed in the UI. Cute. Thanks everyone! This is now a non-issue since all of the z-k hosts have been updated.

Is there anyway to have multiple versions of the spring engine installed side-by-side?

looks like



you can see the empty map, empty player list, but draws/labes

I would call it a feature :P - disables spec cheating in most ways!


The main problem for me with the new engine is, that it is even laggier with chili and terra than it was before
