What happened is that until a while ago, there were bugs in SRB2 that prevented netplay from working correctly. The dev team thought that these bugs had something to do with the netcode, and that's what Mystic meant when he said they needed to fix the netcode before 2.1 can be released. As it turns, it wasn't actually the netcode that was broken, but other things. Either way, these bugs are fixed now, so that's not what's holding up 2.1 anymore.
Oh. Sweet!
So the main thing that needs to be done is fixing the Brakk Eggman fight...Well, good luck to the devs on finishing that. ;) I'm looking forward to the results.
