Quote from Scawen :

It should be very clear what I am saying, but I'll say it again just in case :

Versions older than S2 0.5U30 will not work fully, very soon. It's as simple as that, and there are no exceptions.

No unlocking, no online racing. They will still work online in demo mode which does allow direct connection by host IP address.
This is because the old versions relied on a fixed IP master. The new versions use a DNS lookup so the master server can move.
