Mumble 1.2

Mumble logoAs you may have noticed, the 1.1x branch of Mumble hasn’t been updated in a while. This is because the Mumble team has been working on Mumble 1.2

This new version is a pretty drastic overhaul of Mumble and introduces some nice new features, for example:

  • Easier user access management.
  • Lower latency / higher quality thanks to a new/better voice codec
  • Whisper function
  • Channels with passwords
  • Temporary channels
  • Easy upload of custom user pictures for on the overlay
  • Friends list

We like these new features and encourage you to experiment with them on the FB beta Mumble.

Feel free to join this Mumble and test it out. If you’re already a user on the ‘normal’ FB Mumble, you can simply login using your account and join your channel.

TF2 Blows blows, here’s why

They interviewed Exfane.

In the interview an intoxicated Exfane spoils some FB state secrets, for which he will be executed.

As you may have noticed, we switched servers this week. We’re now on a shiny new quad-core machine. This means we can run more servers, STV relays and (private) Mumble servers.

The ‘old’ server is with us till the end of the year, so we have an even bigger shitload of bandwidth and server capacity than usual. If you’re in need for a server, ask around in #fakkelbrigade on Quakenet or contact us on Steam.
