Remarks

This message is sent to inform the server that a game should no longer be advertised to other users. It is sent when a game starts, or when a game is aborted (the host leaves).

All Battle.snp clients (DRTL, DSHR, STAR/SEXP, JSTR, SSHR, and W2BN) always send this message when logging off, even if it not in a game.

On Diablo 2 (Open Battle.net), the client sends this packet before sending SID_LEAVEGAME.

On Diablo 2 (Closed Battle.net), this packet is never sent.

I observed SEXP 1.16.1 sending this packet even if client has not logged in.
