Hello,

what are the exact differences between the Original and the deobfustacted ULink.dll?

Is the ULink Flood protection only with the deofuscated dll?

Did someone ever compare the performance results etc between the original and deobfustacted dll?

I found these infos in the readme.txt:

Hey there!

I wanted to let you know that i deobfuscated the original ulink.dll
That means that the ulink communication should be like 3x faster.
The server runs stable and I also patched the method that was flooding.
I don't exactly know how to fix that error yet, so for now I bypass the flood
This means that when the flood occurs there will be no RED messages at all
on console, neither on the logs. The server should stay online for a longer time
too.

The only thing I know at the moment is that when this error happens
there are points when you can't join the server, stops at waiting for character
When that happens the server is still stable you are able to save everything in
the console by typing fougerite.save

If you don't want to use this ulink then you should return to the original file.
(Didn't include that)

Also note that I included a prepatched ulink dll and an empty/fresh dll file too.

The patcher now requires the fresh ulink dll, so if you don't want to use the
new dll you can still patch the new one with an assemblycsharp.dll and only
copy the assembly dll on the server.

I would still recommend switching to the deobfuscated ulink.dll

Have fun

The "waiting for character" bug is a big problem for me since I can't monitor the server 24/7.
New players will not able to join because of "waiting for character".

Is there any way to bypass or fix this error or maybe to autorestart the server when its happening?

The deobfuscated dll in theory should be faster. It also allows me to patch uLink in and patch the methods that used to cause errors. I actually know that sometimes that happens, the client receives a message that time. It would be great to know the full message from the console.
