Hey!
Since the game has been released rumors have spread that the program
connects to a site and sends information to their server. This has been
confirmed to be TRUE. So a few groups released some patches that should
remove the server-check. One release was just a description on how to
avoid the check by installing a firewall. That's LAME. The other release
was actually a patch and looked as if it worked...but it did NOT. I tried
several times having several friends test it and it STILL connects after
patching. I'm sorry that i can't show you any proof of that but if you
have a firewall instaled you will see that it's the TRUTH! See for yourself.
So...i traced the server and found out that the IP it connects to is:
IP: 213.86.35.193 Port: 2611 This is the server of LionHead and it will
log your ip and some other information.
Enough said....
Run my patch and click the button. It'll (probably) tell you that it was
a success and quit. Now that IP has been changed and the game should no
longer try to connect to that ip. This HAS been tested by 5 people..and
no one noticed a connection after patching. So...judge for yourself.
NUKERS: Ya i know there are other releases like this...but as i said
before they do NOT work 100%.
