[FEATURE] When starting a multiplayer match the launcher should add the Patch Version played as a prefix automatically to the game name. #135

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem is, that when entering a multiplayer lobby no-one knows which patch version is used. That results in desyncs if players use different versions.

Describe the solution you'd like An automated Prefix that is added to the game name (on default it is the hosts player name) with "CP", "HE+" or "CP PTR" would be a nice feature to avoid that. In addition the selected game speed could be added as another Prefix like "2x", 3x" or "60x".

I would add only a 1x, 2x, 3x or 60x to the gameversion like 1x1.6.1938 or smt. Players with fullscreen wouldnt even see the speed in tab.

I could write a plugin for that, but that isn't really possible atm, because of the bugged/nonfunctional multiplayer

The only way such a plugin would be possible is that the launcher writes all the info to a txt file
