Two different approaches. I doubt that crackers normally analyze some javascript code to circumvent some server communication. Cracking also an art in itself. Writing the server emu might prove very difficult, but that ain't required.

BTW there are several levels to this. What would you call a successful cracked SimCity 5? That you can play online with your buddies and save your shit into the cloud?

If the source code for local saving is missing that feature won't be rebuild by crackers. And playing online might really require the ea infrastructure if the crackers are not able to emulate the server responses to the client.

So what they could do as of now is just disable the communication to the server until you want to save your game. For us pirates this means -> No advancement at all, nobody would want to start over the whole process of building a city when he restarts the game.

Well it's not like the legit paying customers don't have any problems in this regard Laughing

Quoted from another source...

Code:
Well I was doing some poking around last night and it appears that a mod has been done for this already

The files are packed the same way as the Sims3 so you can use that tool to open the packages and then edit some it.

The first mod I've seen involves fixing a function called "GetFudgedPopulation" (yes that is apparently what it is actually called google it if you don't believe me)
The functions only job is to return an artificially inflated number for your population after your first 500 sims

The mod makes it return the correct value each time, so you can actually see how many sims you have. - This is why some people have been having trouble filling their jobs I believe.

I'm pretty sure that, with time, someone figures out the server protocol and writes a fully functioning emulator for it, even the region part. I have zero time right now but when the content is not encrypted, it is usually not all that hard to reverse engineer something when you know all the responses.

I am very ashamed to admit that I bought. I had hopes that it would still be a decent game. But it turns out to be very massive fucking failure like Diablo 3.

Goddamnit, I feel pissed off. This is the last game I ever buy from EA. They can go fuck themselves.

I guess I could call American Express and do a chargeback because the company sold me a broken product and wont refund.


My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 32gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

i know you're a bit .. dumb .. but you can't possibly compare the sim city failure to D3 ...

You don't like D3, we get it, but thats subjective. Sim City's failure isn't.

Big fucking difference ....

edit : thanks newty Smile i am usually very careful with the you/r/e spelling Smile

Yeah, cmon guys... It's not like there are thousands of non-official WoW servers out there right? Razz

And why would anyone want to crack Tribes Ascend... It's a F2P game where you play against other people. o.O


Funny for wow. You say that it is possible to play on cracked free server???

And for tribes, you are not aware that you need to pay to have full content of the game?

even d3 wasnt this broken, the biggest problems were initially the connectivity / error 37, afterwards the bad loot system and rmah reliance.
it was bad, but its not even close to the disaster that is sim city...
