Title: new gameranger update vs netphone Post by: KGB on November 12, 2003, 01:22:57 pm From what I understand is that with the latest
gameranger update (3.5), you can't use netphone anymore. Only premium members can use voice applications while playing. Is this a bug or is it for real ? The way I see it is the everyone is forced to get a premium account to keep the games fair.

If it can i bet there's always a way around it. ;)

GR can send a force quit message to the netfone process. This is also pretty much known as spyware, but Evill doesn't seem to mind have no business ethics at all.
Title: Re:new gameranger update vs netphone Post by: Blufire on November 12, 2003, 07:12:49 pm It doesn't force quit the NF app, but I think it just merely shows an error message if it detects that NF is running and won't let you play until you quit it. Whether this means that a simple rename will fix things, I don't know... ;)

Who knew that after providing a free service for over five years, and getting nothing in return, Evill decides to find ways to make Gameranger profitable. Evill is queen-bitch-of-the-universe involving Gameranger, and that is a good thing.

j/k... but there is a workaround. Im sure you can figure it out if you really thing about it and have the most update software. Title: Re:new gameranger update vs netphone Post by: Da? Swiftkill on November 16, 2003, 01:34:56 am This really pisses me off. Anyone got any ideas for applescripts or some work around? Voodoo could u possibly tell me that work-around?
