RE: reloads are putting me off this game - Antoni Chmielowski - 02-08-2007 No names have been mentioned to me (or Currahee) yet. RE: reloads are putting me off this game - ralphtrickey - 02-08-2007 The way the security system works is that it records the scenario, the serial number of your game, the serial number of your opponent's game, the turn last played and the date and time you played. It then does some comparisons, etc. on each load and save and sets a flag in the scenario file. I've tested it as much as I could, even adding in some test code, and it always seems to work for me. Loading, saving, and reloading don't trigger any errors for me. I'll have to think about this some more, and figure out if there's a way to test it better. If you load and then go into Tesk Manager and kill it without saving, of course it reports it as cheating.

It would be a kind of silent war against cheaters. In the end cheaters would play all one against other. RE: reloads are putting me off this game - Fubar - 02-10-2007 I have purchased TOAW3 as a digital download but only played against the AI so far so i'm unsure what this reload problem is. I take it the reload counter is similar to the PBEM security file that winSPWW2/MBT uses and tells you when something fishy is going on. Does this mean that there is a lot of gameyness going on with TOAW3, similar to the 'recon by reload' in SP? RE: reloads are putting me off this game - Antoni Chmielowski - 02-10-2007 Yes, I think it works that way Fubar. |
