ok thanks. now a question: someone mentioned that this wouldnt display all players at all and there would be peak times with 600 up to even 2000 players. but what should be cut from these stats?

thats what i thought as well.

ah thx now i understand what u meant. makes sense. from the psychological side that statistics are pretty bad x D

opengames.aspx only displays the first NAT server of like 8+ or something, Frogboy mentioned it in IRC a while back. Basically NAT sits there seeing what everyone is doing and getting people to shake hands. Even with NAT Traversal, NAT still does things like show you the lobby so that you can see all the games that are up so that you can then connect to that person etc.

Why are these staistics even available if the do not accuratlly represent the number of people playing this game online.

I'd rather see the stats removed then have a daily thread about the game being dead and debates on online activity.

thx you own^^.

If it was up to me, I would have removed it long ago, but others want to keep it public so it's out of my hands.  I would not put much faith in those numbers.

That is the version of the ImpulseReactor.dll.  We need to make sure people are playing the same version of the game.  We used to check the Game Version.  But because we started doing updates where only the ImpulseReactor.dll was updated we need to change that check.  So we started injecting the ImpulseReactor.dll version in there.
