    I've always been surprised that they didn't change their name. "Spy" isn't exactly the best word to use when it comes to software these days.

    Glad I could help!
    I only discovered it recently - my friend was using it for AoE3 when he had a slightly less than genuine license key...
    It didn't pick up some of my steam games at first, but it was easy just to browse for the EXEs manually, and it's worked seamlessly (so far!).

    these are sad times, thou even when the servers are down we should still have servers because people have custom servers...
