I wonder if it possible to turn off the auto disconnect feature?
Once In while I let run HL in background to check out which server are most populated, but connect without HL(due to different game versions*).
Now, if HL disconnects in the middle of game, it causes a crash back to desktop, and a result I lose force feedback which means I can restart the mission. Not so much fun if you just spent 20min just to climb up to 7km... Sad


*which makes me wonder: is it possible to have multiple installations of HL with different game paths?

One reason HL closes inactive users to save bandwidth.

You can switch game versions using the file path of the il2fb.exe eg:
1. Right click HL Connect button
2. When HL is open find "Edit Settings" in the HL "Menu"
Under IL2 1946 section > gamepath= [paste the il2fb.exe] .

Yes it is. Create new shortcut to the hyperlobby.exe and add there commandline parameter:
Code:
-i 1

This will create new HL instance named "1" with independed settings ...

There may be an easier way of doing this than installing multiple versions of Hyperlobby. You can do it in the settings. For example:

[IL-2 Sturmovik 1946]
joinDelay=20
clientRate=8000
;Determine the client source port. Useful when is more that one user behind the NAT router.
;Must be diferent for each user behind the same NAT router
localPort=21000
;This detecting right IP address for systems with more that one network adapters
;Default is 1 (on)
DetectLocalIP = 1
;Set to 1 when both server and client are behind a router
using
;private network address and both are behind one public ip address
loopback=0
;When is loopoback set to 1
here must be specified private ip address
; of the server behind a router
loopbackip=
Difficulty=2
serverPort=21000
MaxPlayers=8
Description=
gamepath=D:\Forgotten Battles
;gamepath=E:\1946stock
;gamepath=D:\1946up
;gamepath=G:\1946hsfx


All you need do is go into settings before going on a mission and rem out the versions you aren't playing, and enable the one you are. The ; in front of the command line is what rems out that line.

I thought there might be a difference on how W7 handles user accounts and registry compared to W2K.

I am running 1946 servers on a W2K box/.I will give it a try.

Well


All the above isn't a multiple installation of different HL's which is what he asked about.

Do what one ?

The multiple paths >

gamepath=D:\Forgotten Battles
;gamepath=E:\1946stock
;gamepath=D:\1946up
;gamepath=G:\1946hsfx


still needs you to close HL and search the exe's.

the -i 1 cant run 2 instances of the HL at the same time.

just saying........

I had to give one shortcut the -i 1 parameter and the second shortcut the -i 2 parameter to get them to keep their own log in information.
