A noble solution, but it's still somewhat of a bug. However, such information is saved to the Windows Registry. Are you sure it's related directly to Graal itself and not a third-party software preventing certain programs from writing to the registry, or possibly doing a regular registry search and delete cleanup process (EG: An Antivirus/Firewall/etc scanner doing a regular "clean up")? This isn't a typical issue to come across, so I would probably assume it to be a problem locally rather than with the client itself (or we'd all be having this problem).

This only happens to me if I have disabled my firewall, to prioritise programs like Hamachi or Tunngle to play games online that usually don't find servers through the normal network.

I've disabled mine after what you just said. It hasn't happened to me at all since then, and it normally has a 7/10 chance of doing it when I restart graal. Thank you <3

Having your firewall disabled is not very smart! ;P

Graal has forgot passwords from time to time (on both Graal and RC) for as long as I can remember. Never had it forget my account or nick, though.

If you run an older version of Graal(like say, Graal 1.4) it uses a different encryption for passwords in the registry, but still stores it in the same registry value as the new versions. So it pretty much overwrites the registry for your saved password with a version that the current Graal doesn't decrypt, thus you lose your password.

It's not permanently disabled. Only when logging in to Graal <3

The word "Admins" on the playerlist should really be changed to "Staff".

I agree with this, but I'd love to see it go even further. Perhaps at the bottom of the list, out of the way, (or even within the "Staff" list itself, although that may put RC's higher on the list than they need to be), all RC's should be grouped as "Non-Client Staff" or something to that effect.

It's no secret people are getting more ignorant to the point that what wasn't an issue 5 years ago is an issue today whereby you seemingly have to be on tag for people to realise you're staff, completely ignoring the fact that your RC is active. We need it to be easier for players to differentiate playerlist population that can help them from those that are just other players.

I'd love if RCs were only listed in the playerlist if they are on tag. Otherwise, not at all. That'd be great.

Try renaming your Graal6.exe to something else. Do you experience any other issues with your computer outside of Graal?

I disagree. I've been staff on plenty of servers, and players have never had trouble finding me when I was on RC. It helps on Era that RCs are given a special head that can't be used by players.

Graal needs a better support infrastructure, though. A lot of the problems with staff communication arise because players are using PMs instead of something like a support center. Era's is an example of a very effective one which helps a lot of players with complicated issues. I would like to see one on all servers, though.

There will be a new release in a few days which will improve some stuff.
