Windows 2000 SP4 spanish, fresh openarena-0.8.1 directory.
openarena.exe doesn't start at all, just open a popup window saying:

"No se encuentra el punto de entrada del procedimiento freeaddrinfo en la biblioteca de vínculos dinámicos WS2_32.DLL"

I supose the english equivalent is:

"The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL"

I think this is related with this post info: http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1933.msg15854#msg15854

Windows 2000 does not support IPv6.

Use openarena-depricated.exe for Windows 2000 (and Windows 9x)

OK, thank you very much.
Any other drawback about using the deprecated exe version?

No they are identical except for IPv6... or so I hope it is me who has removed IPv6 support to make an win9x/win2k compatible binary, so if there are other missing functionality it means I have done something wrong.

What about naming it "noipv6" ? May avoid some confusion with legacy binaries ..

thats the shit mouse binary.

if you try doing in_restart it doesnt give you the input initialization message. Only the legacy executable does, but even that's not perfect as it loads with windows mouse accell.
