mIRC 7.1 and Gamers.IRC

31. July 2010 by Tuxman

Dear Gamers.IRC users,

On the mIRC website, the mIRC developer has recently published mIRC 7.1. This update introduces quite a bunch of changes compared to mIRC 6.35 which is included in Gamers.IRC 5.32. Besides many other things, the support for Windows versions prior to Windows 2000 has been dropped and support for UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and IPv6 has been added.

However, all these changes implicated that Gamers.IRC will not work with them. Any try to update the included mIRC.exe according to our How-To will cause Gamers.IRC to stop working properly.

The upcoming Gamers.IRC version will likely be named Gamers.IRC 6.00 and be fully compatible with mIRC 7.1.
Please be patient, we are working on it.

We appreciate your patience and hope you’ll have some more fine weeks with Gamers.IRC 5.32,
- your Gamers.IRC team

We’ve just released Gamers.IRC 5.32 :-)

Dear Gamers.IRC users and friends,

despite the warm, sunny weather during the past few weeks we were not idle all the time, so today we proudly present the new Gamers.IRC 5.32 to you.

As usually, we filed some rough edges and improved many details. We also introduced a new feature, a direct connection to your existing TeamSpeak 3 installation. Now you can easily start a TeamSpeak 3 chat directly from the context menu of another IRC user. Of course this requires him to use Gamers.IRC and TeamSpeak 3, too.

You can obtain the new version 5.32 from here. A short overview of the recent changes is available in our change log. If you stumble upon tiny quirks in Gamers.IRC or if you have any questions about Gamers.IRC or the IRC in general, you are happily invited to our forums.

We hope you’ll enjoy the new version as much as we do ourselves and wish you some more sunny days with Gamers.IRC.
- your Gamers.IRC team

Gamers.IRC 5.31 is there!

18. April 2010 by Tuxman

Dear users,

the first Gamers.IRC version in 2010 with many small changes is available.

The new Gamers.IRC 5.31 fixes all known bugs and introduces a few useful improvements. Also it is possible now to use multiple NickServ accounts in different IRC networks.

You can obtain Gamers.IRC from here. A verbose list of the most important changes can be found in the change log. If we accidentally missed a small issue, please report it in our board, and we will try to fix it immediately.

For forthcoming Gamers.IRC versions we are looking for GFX artists. With new toolbar skins and a more modern Tools dialog we plan to make Gamers.IRC even more attractive. If you are endued with creativity and knowledge in icon creation, please contact us via contact1 [at] gamersirc [dot] net.

The best artists will be credited in Gamers.IRC and on our website.

Have some fine time in the IRC and some fun with the new version,
- your Gamers.IRC team

Recent hotfix versions

26. February 2010 by Tuxman

Dear users,

as we find some critical Gamers.IRC bugs from time to time but not everyone is able to make the necessary changes from the hotfix forum, we provide fixed files containing all recent hotfixes separately now. You’ll only have to replace the particular Gamers.IRC files (depending on your Windows configuration in your Program Files or the %APPDATA%\mIRC directory) with the fixed ones.

It works this way:

Visit our SVN directory. You will find a list of all fixed files in their most recent versions there.

In order to download these files, you’ll have to right-click them and choose “Save file as…” (may be labeled slightly differently, depending on your browser) from the menu. Overwrite the existing Gamers.IRC files with these versions. Remember to exit Gamers.IRC first!

If you have any questions about this, please ask in our board or in our IRC channel.

Kind regards,
- your Gamers.IRC team
