Christian Antkow's "id software" latest .plan update let us know that he is currently testing the new Dedicated Only Server, (Win32) that should hopefully be released in the near future for Wolfenstein. Read more below for full .plan file.

There is a "full install" available for both Linux and Windows, this version will upgrade any previously installed Wolf to v1.31. At this point there is a LITE upgrade for Linux only, which will upgrade you from version 1.3 to 1.31. The Windows Lite Install will be available tomorrow (smaller file). So Windows people have no choice (at this time) but to grab the full install. Read more for fix details and links.
