4.14.1 Patch Observation

[Dusty88]

Hyper Lobby will only take il2fb.exe or it will not start a game or a server.

The 414.1 does not have il2fb.exe in the DS server folder.

Hyper Lobby will not start a server with il2server.exe file name in 414.1

Every DF server since 407 started with il2fb.exe, just change it back that way and HL would work fine...

The Alex server must have modified the security or something, HL only starts games or server that use "il2fb.exe"

Re-name the il2fb.exe file in 414.1 in your game to il2server.exe, now see if HL can find it.... it won't.

Thank you Sita, I'm trying to talk with HL about adding il2server.exe to their game search but, I'm having no luck finding anyone to talk to there...

I am happy about the extra CRT to stop cheating in a CRT=2 server. Just a hotfix for the dedicated server patch is all that is needed, everything else is 414.1 is great!

There has never been any il2fb.exe in dedicated server versions. If you need an il2fb.exe, just copy the il2server.exe and rename it.

Good deal Sita! I started an old Win XP PC today that has a working version of HL from 2006 that I put away when I got a new PC for a IL2 dedicated server. HL dedicated servers were started by il2fb.exe in 2006 and every server version 408, 409 410 to 413 started with il2fb.exe. Even back then HL would only take il2fb.exe in its game search.

I got the newer patch that you put up: 413.4 to 414.1 for dedicated servers. After I updated a new copy of 413.4, the il2fb.exe would not work(it says-bad file and shuts off.)
You may already know this but, I thought I would tell you in case you didn't.

AleX server is not using a dedicated server with FBDj, it is started just like a players co-op game would. That is why it starts in HL with the il2fb.exe file, it is not really a dedicated server...

Thank you again, I will watch for 414.2 hotfix.

was coming in to land and all went well, looked at AI in external views and some of them were acting like porpoises, all wobble up and down etc.
