It appears to work well for the server and game on the same machine except for the -a command.I get the "unsupported at this time" message.

I was playing for about 5 minutes when I got the "server disconnected from Steam" message.I assumed it was the typical Steam disconnect of all the servers.But when I logged back into HL my server was gone(expected) but 3 other servers were still there.

I do not think it is an HL problem.
Maybe it is my machine or internet connection.(running server and playing on the same machine is too much)

All this is very disapointing , what would il2 be without the HL community ?? Didnt Oleg learn from the misstakes of CFS3 ? Why cant they just implement a option for HL hosting and dedicated server hosting in one of their patches ?

I really feel like I have a dejavu of the ole CFS days when everyone expected CFS3 would be THE FLIGHTSIM ... it turned out that u need a PC from outern space and the comfortable Gameing Zone where all Pilots met had gone too .
When I looked into 1c forum now and than I cant really see someone listening to the complains.

Anyway I feel better now LOL

-a option is for dedicated server, not standalone game server. Check "Dedicated server" option during game server setup. Standalone game server cannot be run automatically even in original IL2. The warning message show the fact you must setup standalone server by clicking the ingame menus.

I think I got it set up correctly now.

I added the -a at the end of the launcher.exe -i dedicated line.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperLobby client\hyperlobby.exe" -i dedicated -a

However I did that before I have started a dedicated server by clicking on the 1st open slot.

Once the server was started I went back and added the -a.(I had removed it to start dedicated HL.

I guess I had a couple of steps out of order.

It works now.

Thank you.

I am not sure if this is related to the beta or I have another problem.

I have someone on ignore.When he signs in under an alias it show his new nick with a # in front.However it does not show in my hyperlobby.ign list.Names and aliases used to show in the hyperlobby.ign list under the previous versions.

New hl instance using new profile so its located in another folder and have new clean ignore profile. /f chat command will open profile folder so you can populate hyperlobby.ign. Dont forget to close HL before you changing ign file.

I probably was not clear enough.

I have 2 instances of HL on my game machine(server HL instance and HL client instance).

The problem is on my main machine that only has one HL.

I have only one instance(HL client 4.2.15) on my main machine.It over wrote my 4.2.12 version.There is only one hyperlobby.ign file.Before the update I had a ign list and when someone showed up with an alias the new name showed on the list with the same ID number.Now with 4.2.15 when an alias shows up it does not show on the existing list.W2k.c:\Documents and Settings\machine name\application data\HyperLobby\Hyperlobby.ign.Typing /f in the chat takes me to the above HL folder.

Hi guys,

OK I have had to unistall HL,,( Not fault of the program)
But now everytime I go to host through normal channels my game still says open mission 1
hyperlobby hosted by Smiladon.

and when i do go to host a mission like one i have made, there are no missions to pick in the mission list not even stock ones?????? Crying or Very sad

even with HL unistalled????

How do I fix this.

I will reinsatll HL at a later date but untill then i would like it to go away.

thanks
