Even out the Battlefield...

Post » Thu Jun 28, 2012 4:05 am

Hey guys, remember me! I said back almost 7 months ago that I was going to try to Patch some hacks used on Crysis 2... That didn't end up so well... the first time.
I was able to make a working Patch, but it didn't work on Official (Dedicated) Servers because the Server Providers only allow you to change or add levels. After reading a book on OOP (Object Oriented Programming) I realized that I was trying to change how the Server behaved (what can't be done on Dedicated Servers). Instead, I have to change how Levels behave, what CAN be done on Dedicated Servers. I already have a small sample code on how I'm going to do this.

The Patch will be Server Side only, so it will be a little more convenient than the original patch (Players won't have to download anything). I'm also making a Wiki Site for the Patch, where all the info will be provided. I'll have the URL posted as soon as I finish the site.

About time. Thank you for doing what Crytek can't be bothered to do! :D

I wouldn't blame Crytek. I think that all throughout this issue, Crytek has taken a beating for not patching the hacks, when in truth, it was EA who cut funding to Crytek. Besides, without Crytek, we wouldn't have Crysis. Crytek did a good job making Crysis 2, they just couldn't finish it.

Instead of blaming Crytek, we should blame the hackers. The hackers at AA and FPSCheats really know their game, and have made it very hard to fix their hacks, they are very good at programming.
Programmer to programmer, I respect that...
Player to hacker, I doubt the word "hate" does my opinion any justice...

If you can overcome all of the server-side checks for map legitimacy you will have found the holy grail. Elsewise...?

Honestly, if a game is good everyone will say that the developer is great, but if a game is bad everyone will blame the publisher!
And I heard that PB recently busted all the paid hacks for BF3 (AA, FPSCheats...)

Kinda makes you wish Crytek had invested in PB for Crysis 2 =) .
