It wasn't about the word, it was about how to know if it's stable or not. I thought maybe it was accidentally the old file from the dev version.

Thanks for fixing! BTW, it's still like that in v1.6.0.0

How do I know it's stable? Would you consider the removing the word -dev from the zip name?

Just checking again.

...are there new public repeaters which I can use?

repeater is running on support2.uvnc.com

Just 1 instead of 3?

I never got a reply to it, so I still wonder - are there even any public repeaters by now? :(
The one mentioned above doesn't seem to have neither its port 5901 nor 5500 ...

Just updating it seems to have been fixed by keeping just 1 merged 2018 version (while newer versions were added later on).

Just updating it was eventually fixed by integrating SC in the main UltraVNC in the v1.4 branch (first seen in 1.3.9-dev1).
Thanks!

No UltraVNC SC version at this time.

Thanks for the new release! But I thought the whole point of integrating SC in main UltraVNC was to avoid messages like these, wasn't it?

In that case what worries me is what if there's a sudden crush and then the very people that need UAC the most would be left without it...
Does the program at least have something like "on exit perform" that might still run in some crashes?
Not that it crashes a lot, but sometimes you might restart ...

I was just asking in general - did [DIS_UAC] always turn off UAC during the session (and restored it upon exit) or is it a new feature?

I'm not talking about the specific fix that affected restoring, but about the general feature.

But the default https://www.uvnc.eu/download/1400/helpdesk.zip already includes [DIS_UAC], meaning unless you manually removed it then you did use it.

lwc... Rudi commented he found the issue with UAC not returning to original setting....see Rudi's post 10-24-2023 10:26
It had to do with which method was used to close the viewer / speed

This was not what I asked. I was just asking if lowering it while using the control only happens if using ...

CPC wrote: 2023-10-20 21:51 As mentioned previously with SC 1.4.3.5 The UAC gets moved down to "never notify" upon running the SC and does not move back up to the users setting upon closing UVNC SC.

Is this only with [DIS_UAC]? If so, how did [DIS_UAC] work before?

For now added back the previous plugin.

https://uvnc.eu/download/1430/UltraVNC_SC_1436.zip

Which plugin? Could you release this as another version or at least update the online generator so it'll be with a signature, etc.?
Thanks!

Help! With this version using SC I get your connection has been rejected (both with repeater and directly).
This has never happened before, what can be done?

Update: just letting you know it was timing out for me because those links point to uvnc.eu instead of uvnc.com
Normal links were later added to the actual website at https://uvnc.com/downloads/ultravnc.html


1.4.3.0
-balloon fix

Have to say [BALLOON2 C ] is still not presented in at least ...

Why is your connection active icon so small while mine took half the screen?

Could be, my screenshot was from Windows 10. And yours?

Besides, my screenshot was after the connection, while yours was was during, maybe try during?

About the balloon that is no longer in Gibberish, there is another issue though - it's cut off.

[BALLOON2B] is cut off, only some of it is shown.
[BALLOON2C] is not presented at all .

[BALLOON2A]
Warning, (Προειδοποίηση international chat test)

You can break the connection any time ...

Now with MSRC4Plugin_for_sc.dsm I get this error:
Has this become incompatible?
Any ideas?

It seems users consider MSRC4Plugin insecure ( by today's standards ), so I guess maybe support for it was removed over the years. I think you should strongly consider to move to the new encryption (see ...

The balloon in 1.4.2.1-dev is longer in Gibberish! Awesome job, I knew you could pull it off!

BTW, I still hope you can answer - why do repeater connections warn "Accept without authentication", but Direct Connections don't warn?

ok, i see i was referring to
https://uvnc.eu/download/1420/UltraVNC_SC_1420.zip

This link is broken.


https://uvnc.eu/download/1420/UltraVNC_SC_1421_dev.zip wil only work if you have your own helpdesk.txt in that folder, it just the winvnc.exe

Ok, I put helpdesk.txt there but the balloon is ...

Made some test with unicode balloon

I tried to run it and it doesn't do anything. It just show up as an taskbar icon. If I hover the icon, it even states "not listening".


AUC is working, it's in the sample helpdesk.txt

Sorry, but it's not. Download and see it's not there:
https://i.ibb.co ...

How come it worked in SC v1 though?

Did you get a chance to review my other notes?

Changelog:
1.4.2.0
- SC 2.0 international char fix, disable UAC

Thanks for the release! Unfortunately, SC's popup is still in Gibberish, not Unicode:

Also, last time you wrote the warning with repeater is justified , but why is it not needed for direct ...

Continued in next release.

As for fake, direct connections can be fake as well (especially if you use a DNS server).

Hi, just wondered if there's any update?

Using the zip and exe is a lot faster to test, you can see on the fly your helpdesk.txt changes.

Very true, but it also means no digital signature...

Anyway, I confirm the extra window is skipped now, thanks! (also confirming you've added [DIS_UAC] though I won't know it works until I test it ...

Thanks! But this link gives a 404 message. Can you give a usual online generator instead?

About "Accept without authentication", why is there no warning in direct (i.e. no-repeater) connections?
