Hello all

After a while, next release of HL is done fixing outstanding issues reported by our members and adding few cool features ...

Here is cummulated changelog since lates 4.2.7 release:

Whats new:

• HL now can autostart game in to server mode via commandline option -a. First time you need setup game server options by classic way, then close HL and start it with -a parameter. HL connect to the HL server, register game session and autostart the game in to server mode. When the game exit , HL close itself. This feature is for example usefull to automatically run IL2 dedicated server within HL. This mode is compatible also with instancing.

Bug fixes:

• Do not show gameinfo popup when a mouse button is down. This will fix unwanted gameinfo popup during scrolling player lists with scrollbar.
• Friend list has not been cleared after room change.
• Slotkick has been issued when ignored user tried to use other game session. It was generated strange looking error messages from the server.
• When user is unignored his name may begin with character ?
• User from friendlist cannot be ignored anymore.
• Ignored user cannot be added in to your friendlist anymore.
• Save friendlist and ignorelist immediatly after its changed. It will prevent friendlist and ignorelist loss when HL or system crash.

• Optimized network API.
• Fixed startup and profile selection sequence.
• Fixed several exploits.
• When DNS service fail HL will hung during reconnect session.

Hello All

Some connection restrictions has been applied to the hyperlobby server to save bandwidth it consume. Those limits are max of 30 players in chat per HL room. This restrictions are not applied to users than are already in game since it not consume allmost any bandwidth.

Iam sory for this inconvenience, but i refused finance HL only by myself and for this i started HL donation system few months ago. Last moth was not enought to preserve HL service in state it was here for last ten years ...

UPDATE: Problem has been fixed and the restrictions has been removed. Thanks guys for your support.
