Other patch tool detection.
Here is the follow-up information as well as some answers to potential questions about the update:
hgw hack Detection and Logging Feature
Whenever getting a hack tool detected message a code will appear at the end of the message:
Number Code (1.0) to (1.99) - True positive hack tool usage detection.
Number Code (2.0) to (9.0) - These error messages vary based on the irregularities of your client's behavior. Encountering this error code will not mean you are using a hack tool. But your client or computer is behaving irregularly.
Number Code (1000) to (1004) - Same as the number code (2.0) to (9.0).
All of the above number codes are logged when a user is disconnected due to "hack tool detection" by the hgw client.
Only players with Number Codes (1.0) to (1.99) will be penalized. To give players and internet cafe owners more time to clean up their computers, players with the number codes with true positive hack tool usage detection will be penalized starting February 1, 2011. On week after the patch update on January 25, 2011.
We believe this is in the best interests of all players in general. However, keep in mind that we will have a zero tolerance policy for players logged to have true positive hack tool usage after the grace period.
Flyhack Tool
As mentioned, the current test client of the January update patch will detect this hack tool and will kick users from the game upon detection. There are cases where hack tool users will not be kicked due to the number of hack tool users coming into the game. However, we have also increased the hgw "kicks per second" for this update. It will also increase depending on the results after the patch.
For Windows 7 users, the flyhack tool will be detected when you run the program. If you do not have the program running, then you will not be detected by the game.
However for Windows XP users, this flyhack tool modifies the ltmsg.dll file of your Cross Fire client. So as long as a computer used the hack tool once, it will always be detected as true positive since traces of having used the hack remains in the computer.
The Solution
For Windows XP users, you have two solutions:
1.) Re-install your Cross Fire client and patch it to the latest version after completely deleting the hack tool from your computer.
2.) Download or copy a clean version of the ltmsg.dll file and replace it in your Cross Fire folder. This file is located in the main Cross Fire folder.
Download the clean ltmsg.dll file here.
FAQs
1.) Why is Cross Fire doing something this complicated?
Answer: You want better anti-cheat security, you got it. You want more efficient player enforcement, you got it. We're announcing everything in advance so everyone will be well informed.
2.) Can't you just make the patcher replace the files?
Answer: We're looking into this solution right now, but it is not likely. Besides, you will only have this problem if you use hack tools.
3.) What about players playing in internet cafes? I don't use hacks but somebody who used my rented terminal might have.
Answer: That is why we have a grace period. Also, if the computer has traces of hack tools, nobody will be able to play Cross Fire on that computer. So internet cafes will have to make sure to remove all traces of the hack tools from now on.
4.) What does this mean for new hacks that can break the game security?
Answer: It is very simple. We are getting a more effective way to block, log, and discourage hack tool usage. If you do not want to get problems with the client or find your accounts or clients (in internet cafes) banned, we suggest that you stop using hack tools or allowing players to use hack tools.
Players who do not use hack tools must also be vigilant where they play or regularly read the forums on new hack tools and advance warnings on true-positive behavior detection. You can always carry the clean ltmsg.dll file with you and replace the Cross Fire client folder with the said file to ensure you won't encounter a true-positive detection when running in a cafe pc.
5.) What about the other error codes?
Answer: If you get them regularly, don't worry, you won't get banned. But you should report the error code to us and provide us with additional information as requested in order to for us to pinpoint the exact problem. It might take time since these error codes vary from case to case. Sometimes a fresh re-install is not enough because there are external programs causing the client to detect hack tool behavior.
