The two workarounds copied from Reddit:
Fix #1.
Not sure if anyone will ever see this, but here is the fix to get THud working again.
1. Download and install Fiddler for Net 4
2. Run and go to Rules: customize rules, it opens a notepad file CustomScripts.js. This is found in C:/Users/<user>/Documents/Fiddler2/Scripts/CustomRules.js
3. Open this in Notepad++ for easy reading
4. Find the function "OnBeforeRequest" and add the following underneath the commented code: if (oSession.url == "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4w5AkAsy") { oSession.url = "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=UBBfawt9"; }
5. THud should be run after Fiddler is open, and it will work. It redirects the old pastebin to a link to a new pastebin with the right version number. Cheers!
User Response:
Thanks mate, this fix worked perfectly for me on Win 7.
Edit: For those wondering how I got it to work -
I installed both Fiddler 2 (the actual name of the Fiddler program) and Notepad++. I then opened the CustomScripts.js (C:/Users/<user>/Documents/Fiddler2/Scripts/CustomRules.js) with Notepad++. Once the rule was added where advised as per OP's comments above, I just saved it, then closed Notepad++. I then loaded up Fiddler (nothing more needs to be done other than opening the program) and left it open, downsizing the program to the menu bar.
Next open up the Bliz/D3 client, start a solo game and wait in town. Then alt-tab back to desktop, run Thud and it activates as normal, as if it wasn't disabled.
Fix #2.
Feel free to piss on me or whatever, i just think it's childish on his side. Here's a quickly done hack to fix current version until it settles down.
1. Open a notepad
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
3. Drag&drop "hosts" file into notepad
4. put
77.223.80.31 pastebin.com
on a new line in the end of a file
5. hit save
copy from *********.
