<div class="IPBDescription">About the server-side patches.</div> This might be a stupid question, but how exactly do server-side patches work?
Only the server needs to download it and install it. Clients can connect to the server as usual.
Well, how would one go about as to playing NS on a LAN with the most recent server-side patch?
Can a client download the patch and just stick it in his ns folder, then everything will be patched whenever this client hosts a game?
Or do the players on the LAN have to set up a remote, dedicated server?
Sorry if this has been asked before :\

In answer of your question, you are correct. Download the server-only patch, install it, and your NS server will be updated to 1.03 for the LAN (or whatever). Only the computer acting as the server should need the patch.
