The following launcher issues were fixed in 2.5 release of Forgotten Hope, many of them have been reported in this board many times:
Main form:- Verification of the default player account on the account server is performed now every time when you hit the Play button, to avoid crashes to desktop in the full-screen mode (the infamous "black screen crash" threads here) and cryptic "music player" messages in the windowed mode when the server is down.
First launch:- Fixed players getting corrupted in-game controls (the "can't turn the gun" kind of topics on the forum).
- Fixed the game hanging on launch if player profiles have been copied from another PC.
- Supposedly fixed "null reference exceptions" encountered by few players on the first launch, probably caused by some corruption of the config (on Windows XP only?).
- Added import of Project Reality player profiles.
Options - Gameplay:- Proper handling of multiple player accounts sharing one name ("offline" Gavrant and "online" Gavrant, for example).
- Added "[Offline]" suffix to offline accounts in the "Login as" field to distinguish them from online ones.
- Renamed the "<None>" account to "<None / Manage accounts>", to emphasize one of its main purposes.
Options - Update / Repair:- Max. upload speed: the bottom limit raised to 5 KB/sec. Too low max. upload speeds could completely choke connection to uploaders and thus actually prevent you from downloading anything.
