On top of this, Hyperlobby is poorly-designed: it doesn't show the player counts unless you join through hyperlobby. Seems like a fundamentally-flawed piece of software to me. I tolerated using it when Forgotten Battles was around because the ubi.com lobby was even worse.

I have some fond memories of HL but it's just not a very good program, and if steam had a global chat, it would be better in almost every way.

does not have to be hyperlobby. ANY program would be fine.tell me how you can recruit? or even troubleshoot with MANY people at one time? IN REAL TIME.are you happy with checking a forum every 5 minutes to see if anyone has replied?What made il2 a success was the commnunity.NOT the program.
