If you see any bugs or have any requests let us know and we can fix. Like any change of this magnitude we'll like have some minor bug reports and fixes over the next few dates.

The game diagnostic tool was introduced over three years ago and allowed thousands of new players to use Voobly. Today it just got better.[READMORELINKDOTS]
Game Diagnostics 2.0 key improvements:
- Users no longer need to find, download, and install patches for AoC and AoK. Voobly will do it for them. Voobly will also auto-detect the language and install proper language dlls and install in many circumstances where the original 1.0c installer wouldn't work). While this feature is only enabled for AoK and AoC we will be rolling it to other games in the future. In the testing we have done, it also seems to do a better job than MSFT installer did in some cases.
- Many more common game problems are now detected and fixed.
- More intuitive user interface. The detailed debug info is moved down into the detailed log section.
- I reduced the number of clicks to use game diagnostic tool (in some cases by 75%), e.g.: before it use to ask if you wanted to run it when it found a problem, now it just runs it, and it also does a scan by default, people don't need to click "Begin Scan"
- I now automatically force users to rejoin the lobby if the game diagnostic tool needs it. People used to get confused by the "you must install the game to join" after game diagnostic fixed their game.
The existing features still work:
- Fixes for many common file errors
- Fixes for over 5 different pirated versions of AoC game
- Fixes for registry corruption / moved games
