servers).
- Dedicated servers do not require CD keys.
- Added -configsubdir= command line option to cause .ini files to be
loaded/saved from the specified subdirectory of GameConfig
- Added QueryPort configuration and command line option.
- Added an "AdminChangeOption [option] [value]" console command for server
admins. This allows changing most simple .ini values (e.g. GoalScore) from the

the right time.
- Changed network loss during single player to result in player signed in
