When I start the new lobby, there is a black fullscreen-sized window, without any loadingbar or anything, only mouse pointer. I move it to side and will see if anything happens while I type this.

It had chat. In old lobby versions under "Community" or so you can get a channels list.

Which host?
On notaHost9
!list maps currently returns 60 maps and map manual is here:
http://nota.machys.net/map-manualOriginally at launch EvoRTS had *every map ever*, many of which obviously did not work.
The limited mappool was only active for few days before reverting it back to unlimited, because suppossedly "Players are sick of those same maps all the time", with the foreseeable consequences. Currently it is 261 maps, some of which would by zero-K standards be considered broken.
Autodownload is standard feature of all lobbies since a long time..
New NOTA lobby:
1) Setup nota-0.7.2.msi asks where to install.
2) I enter: c:\games\nota
3) It only puts two shortcuts in that folder. The actual files were copied into
...\Documents\My Games\NOTA
and
...\Documents\My Games\Spring\nota\
I was tricked!
Still black window. Would have liked to hear the cool liftoff sound! :/
