Hello! I'd like to report several bugs in version 6.6a. It is mainly about the new player list. The new layout is not very positively welcomed among community.
Everyone was used to how things were and there was not any reason to change something, which wasn't broken in the first place... which now thanks to the "fix" broken is.
1) The new playerlist shows less information!
In previous versions, mainly as a host, we were able to see players running different plus versions. Like 1.24+ and 1.23+ (Symbol being Teal or Blue) This cannot be seen anymore. The NON-plus players running different version than 1.24 do not show ! symbol anymore. Also when the player joins, we cannot see if they are running outdated plus version, or NON-plus until they finish downloading or connecting. This was possible before. So now we have less informations shown.

^The above post was copied from a reply to an unrelated thread where it was off topic. I let Clank know it was off topic but got no response for a week, so I took action to split it into its own thread, using the same logic as here.

The subject of this thread is also covered in this poll, so maybe they should be merged actually.

So far, based on the poll results, in almost every category the current model is the most popular option, but this is a big outlier: most people don't care about whether 1.23 clients are represented at all, but among people who do care, more people want them represented than not.

Why? This should not have been useful information since 2013. The only things that 1.23 and 1.24 clients should experience differently are ambient sound events and MCEs, but in both cases, 1.23 clients probably have the better experience, since I suspect most levels with ambient sound events or MCEs are designed for 1.23, not 1.24. (Also they're probably SP levels.) Is there some underlying, unreported issue that makes it useful to know who's a 1.23 client? What is that?
