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.

Evill said in the next update that NF would be disabled for non-premium users.  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.

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...  Wink

I tested it on a non-prem account, and as GhR boots up, NF quits.

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.

A work around has already been found. I will except paypal donations of no smaller then 5 bucks.  Wink

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.

Evill, being the Illuminatis he is, will probably be ∞ steps ahead of you by now.
