On GSA, when you change your nick, your recs + stats on every server is lost (as I'm quite sure many of you already know). Is it possible to include something to prevent this from happening in the CP2/RG 1.04 ?
It would also have to go along with purhaps another brentbot patch too, but it would be worth it.

Eg.

[RC]SuperMidget[L] Joins the game, has 43 recs.

*I change my GSA name*

SuperMidget Joins the game, has 0 recs.


Know what I mean? Also, I'm assuming this would also happen for MP's GSA+wol ladder they have going on, is there anyway for the system to detect your specific GSA code/IP instead of the characters in your name?

Since when that's coded into CP/RG?

Rec's are stored in a database-file. It only stores your name, the comment and the name of the person who rec'ed you (and timestamp). There's no way the game can tell on Gamespy that you are the same person if you change name. IP -> most people have dynamic IP. Ren serial -> what if your brother also plays? Authentification system -> overkill?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

in other words the simple answer is pick a name and stick to it Thumbs Up

btw, if you change your name back you should get back all your recs from that nick.

i suppose, but if you type your new name wrong they could end up lost still, and since when are recs so important anyway
