Fwiw, I still think Matt was just trolling. I find it very unlikely that Discord would automatically recognise a KSP2 executable at present, nevermind a version with "Closed Beta" in the file path.

It uses the name of the exe file and then an lookup table to search for a game its matches. Now I wonder if you name an small program KSP_x64.exe and kept it running would discord believe you played KSP? It would not detect KSP 2 as they don't know that the filename is and you don't want people to know you play a game who is not out yet, say you have an beta test or review version.

GoldForest Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 So I just took a look at the steamDB page and there are CD Keys available for KSP 2 Beta. Mercury for Beta Testing (SubID 311459) · SteamDB So Matt Lowne as well as others might actually have keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually 2 lookup tables. The public one, and then the private one. You can add games manually to the private table which then will display. The following is speculation on my part:The private one is client to client specific. If it detects a game from the public one running on your computer, it will automatically add the game to the private table. If the client detects a game running on the private table, it sends the information to the server to then disseminate. As far as I can tell, it IS based on executable name. This is why Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, Portal 1, and GMod all share the same entry(GMod's), as they're all labeled as "hl2.exe." Portal 2 has a different executable name, so it can be under a new entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WELLLLLLLLLLL.... Spoiler On a serious note, I think my main monitor is just a 1080p one. Rather anecdotally, I dabble a LOT in old hardware, so most of my monitors are still 4:3. Pretty sure my most used monitor for that part is a 600p or a 720p monitor. May actually be a 960p, but I'm pretty sure it's a 960x720 monitor. Huh, that's the first time this label has shown up in the KSP2 section of the forums in a loooong while. Fascinating. Edited January 24, 2023 by Missingno200 Fascinating lack of punctuation.

What I DID say was that it had happened before, but it's been a long time since it's been seen here. Speaking of which, since my remark relied on ME seeing it, that means that I can be in err here, which seems to be the case. My bad. Edited January 24, 2023 by Missingno200 Cleared "it" up.
