Declined Re-Enable Red-tape Recorder

[Dono Spacey]

Since the update fixed the sentry health bug (and i assume the crash bug) i'd say re-enable the thing, unless we can find out if it still crashes the servers.

From what iv heard, sap a sentry down to level one, then place a normal sapper on the sentry (still lvl1) and it should crash.

1. Spy 1 runs with Red-Tape Recorder, de-levels the sentry and then changes to regular Sapper when Engineer has removed Red-Tape from level 1 Sentry and finishes it off with regular Sapper.

or

2. Spy 1 runs with Red-Tape Recorder, de-levels the sentry to level 1 and then Engineer removes the Red-Tape sapper from Sentry. Spy 2 kills the Engineer and uses regular Sapper to level 1 sentry and finishes it off.

If number 2, we already tested it yesterday and it didn't crash. Any special tricks I should know, place sapper while doing 360 mid-air, or eh?

Well my game crashed when I was sitting on the engies head, I just placed a sapper on a sentry that the other spy had just deleveled.

LATEST STATUS: Bottiger confirms that it's still blocked because Valve has yet to fix it.

What exactly is still crashing with it? Just saying "it crashes" isn't enough since I CAN'T test it. I need information.

I don't know how it makes the server crash, I've even never experienced it. I don't care to know, it just does and Valve has yet to fix it, so Bott keeps it disabled for now. I only wished to report on the availability of the new sapper in Skial servers.

I've once looked for the cause, but couldn't find anything clear. Sorry.

Alright guys,

Until valve fixes the crashes cause by this sapper, it is not going to be unblocked.

I can promise you all, when valve finally fixes this, it will become unblocked. There were two reason it is blocked:

1. The sentry could stack health
2. it crashed the server

One of these has been fixed.

So give it some time. We do not remove weapons for the fun of it :). Once it has been fixed it will be back on our servers.
