Fish Server Problems

I've just recently wanted to play a bit of Brood War again, but it's just ridiculously hard to get a game on Fish server. With miniLauncher but I get banned from every single game. After a search I thought that it could be because I didn't use wLauncher, but it's still happening. I don't think people know that I have it even though there's a lot of white text with "WLauncher" in it at the beginning of every game. The WJoiner plugin is ticked. I can't create games either because I get hit with the "a game by that name already exists". Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks in advance!

A game by that name already exists, I have that when i want to load a replay of which I don't have the map. Try downloading the latest mappack? I'm very new though, so I could be totally wrong, yay!

Are you reading the game name to make sure you are playing the race they are asking for? I used to play fish without korean text enabled so I got kicked alot too. When you join just say

hi

ggyo

Works *almost* all the time~

Type sksms gksrnrdls with a Korean keyboard enabled to enable the wDetector plugin (which they're probably banning you for not having). Also, they'll ban if you're a downloader most of the time, so try get the Korean maps.
You can't create games because you haven't passed the 24 hours logged in time that they require. Leave the game running overnight while on Fish server and again the next day and you should have 24 hours done and be able to host games.

1. Wait 24 in the lobby. You can check the time left with typing /lc
2. You have to set the whole pc-language to korean. When youre able to type,
korean letters, you can activate wlauncher.
3. How to activate? Enter chat, create a NON-passwort secured game and enter at the lobby (where you can
change race etc) "sksms gksrnrdls" meaning in hangul "I am a korean". After this some data appears and
antihack is enabled until you logout. You have to do this procedere each time you login.

people keep saying the sksms gksrnrdls but I never get banned and never type it (and typed it once and nothing seemed to happen). always had the latest wlauncher (probably starting from 3.19?)

I don't think that is relevant at the 800-1150 point range, maybe people care above that but it's not like everyone is B-.

So you hate to type that you are a Korean, in Korean, to play on Fish? They really don't want foreigners playing ha?

I use the latest version of wlaucher and I tried to make a game but when I write

sksms gksrnrdls or 난;ㄴ 한국인 in the lobby it does nothing

Do I need to be able to see the korean character on bnet ? (I only see question marks when I type) or am I doing something wrong ?

Can you write hangul outside of sc?
Check if everything is set to korean (region, language, place you stay)

Create a game without password type it in the lobby.
