Sorry, I've been away for the last week.

The reason you have to wait until the 'End Of Players List' line appears before closing the console window is due to the way some games process and write in the client log. Closing the console window before this line has been written to the log causes some games to stop writing to the client log (incomplete players list) and this causes GT to become stuck in a loop as it sits there waiting for this particular line to appear in the log (which it never will if the console window has been closed too soon).

If the console window is not closing then one of two things are wrong - either the game uses a different key to close the console than it does to open it, or, the console window automatically gets closed by the game after issuing a PB command and GT is re-opening it by mistake thinking it's closing the window. Unfortunately, I cannot detect if the console window is open in a game (I would need to GT delved into DirectX to do this and that would most likely trigger a ban, so it's not something I'm willing to consider doing).

As Maester said, you don't have to use the F12 hotkey - you can manually pull down the console, type in the required command (pb_plist) and then manually close the console after the entire players list has been written to the screen. GT will still work using this method.

Also, I don't own all the games GT works with so I rely on people to tell me when something goes amiss because the unfortunate fact is that many games differ slightly in how they interact with the console and I made guesses in getting them to work in GT.

For those interested, GUIDTracker Version 5 has just been released on my website.

It's been totally rewritten from the ground up and sports a new interface and several new functions. It has a much faster initialization method and is more stable than Version 4. It no longer requires database downloads - the whole package is now less than 1.2MB.

It currently supports the following games:
America's Army v3
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield Vietnam
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Battlefield Play4Free
Call of Duty
Call of Duty: United Offensive
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty World At War
Enemy Territory
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Frontlines Fuel Of War
Quake 4

More info can be found on my website.

And to head off the inevitable "my anti-virus software reports malware" responses, it's a FALSE POSITIVE. Yes, it's a packed AutoIt script (most autoit scripts are packed to reduce their size) and yes, it's a downloader (it has a user selectable option to download an update). It doesn't contain malware and it doesn't use, store or steal any of your personal or identifiable information.

P.S. if you find any bugs, I'd appreciate you letting me know.

Cheers
