Client "User Agent" support.

Internet browsers have this User Agent thing, which is very useful to generate general statistics on the used browsers.

It would probably also be interesting to see some similar statistics on the used HnH clients.

Well, interesting for custom client developers I figure.
Probably not so much for the game devs themself.

Loftar has it, he's opposed to publishing it. But they're fully aware who uses what clients.

That was potential showstopper number two on my list.

Just for the record, I'm not strictly opposed to publishing it or anything, I just don't really want to turn it into some weird competition between custom clients.

well, maybe loftar just don't want to post the statistics which would reveal how many ppl are playing on non-public clients?)

mAmber was unknown to Loftar during w10 because Matias never changed the designation away from Amber's. It's not a foolproof system, it can be tricked if someone wanted to.
