This is a notice to all FEAR dedicated server admins running SEC2 server patch.

SEC2 key authentication was developed using GameSpy Open SDK services, and this service is slated to be terminated on December 19th (thanks Glu Mobile! :evil:).

The good news is that we have been busy working on a replacement master server to replace GameSpy and continue to manage the key authentication. The solution is almost ready for prime time, pending finalization of a hosting provider. With the new solution, all existing and future SEC2 keys will continue to work provided that server admins install an updated SEC2 version that will be made available very shortly. (more…)
