Title: Update problem fix
Post by: 41024 on January 22, 2015, 03:11:37 PM
We change .exe files many time. You can download the latest version .eхe to these links:

We can continue to modify .exe file, stay tuned to this topic.

Thanks for all your work on upgrading the game and getting it running as many times as needed again guys.

Instead of actually fixing the problems in the client, we're going to repeatedly break it and release multiple updates per day

Why rewrite the code from scratch?
If you have the source code, any code will not help.

The problem is that having the source code can hack anything.
I'm a little defended the source code in the new version.

Except the problem is that design of the protocol (and client) is deeply flawed and youre not going to fix it just by adding

What exactly were you trying to achieve by deleting the code I posted?
Security through obscurity is really bad practice

I deobed the code I showed you in less than 15 min while cooking
It couldnt take you more than a week to rewrite the code for the client
then we can be on v2 instead of v1.69 :D
Also my 'motive' I guess was playing around with some of the flaws in the client
If you wanted to fix it you would make more things handled server-side and implement checks for reading packets
thats my advice

StarCraft 2 have some maphack. WoW some cheater. If blizzard cannot security their server, how i can do that?
Knowledgeable people always find a way.

More checks - more load on the server.

Not if the checks are client-side
But hey, if you dont have the time to maintain your client....

If checks are client-side, you can still change client, and still can crash server.

Have you actually looked at the code?
Not to be rude or anything but you should probably rewrite it from scratch.

From my understanding of the developers who created this game... They're not high level programmers. Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, this project(game) was originally started by 1 person, and as time progressed,  others joined in to cooperate/help out.
http://www.pojo.biz/board/archive/index.php/t-1089683.html (http://www.pojo.biz/board/archive/index.php/t-1089683.html)
If you click this link and read all the comments from beginning to end, it should give you enough information about how the progress of CFA has been for the past 2-3 years. Obviously at the start it was horrendous, but that's okay. 41024 was more than likely barely understanding how game creation worked when he started this. It's only natural that the ineptitude of the developer(s) would create problems at the beginning. However, as time passed by, fixes kept coming to the problems this game first started off with, and the developer(now developers) has been improving to assure that there are no issues caused by his hand while playing the game. Fast forwarding to this date, there are now minimal issues that the user faces while playing. As such, there's no reason to drastically change anything about how the program works, if it works the way it's intended for the majority of the time. (You're most likely not going to find a game that has no way of being exploited.)
>Yet, when people start bugging the game intentionally through a way that involves forcing a command to occur in order to crash the game, a problem arises that is not the developer's fault. Much less is the coding at fault. It's the person(s) who are doing this that are the problem.

Now, I'm not incriminating you of being the person who has been causing this @imnotahacker. This is more-so of a reply to what you stated is the problem.

You should still focus on fixing whatever the exploit thats being used is instead of trying to ensure the correct client is being used



But still, seeing as hes gained knowledge about how it works it might be better for him/them to rewrite the game and making the code more stable and easier to update

There's no denying it's better for him/them, as well as for the users. Whether it's necessary though... that's a different story. In this case I agree it might fix the issue, but in the future another person could always abuse something in the new coding. Anyone dedicated enough to ruin someone's day will succeed, especially online.

I actually agree with Just here on joining the programming team to help fix the problems. If you're willing to go this far, you could help out with adjusting or rewriting the game.

So, there's a new exploit/hack that's been revealed.

Something is spamming the game so much with Qs and so many cardfight requests that the game's framrate lags, even the cursor lags.  This also makes it almost impossible to accept challenges or read what other people are trying to say.  I can't tell the source, it's just happening.

Post by: Devour on January 24, 2015, 07:50:48 AM
It isn't an exploit hack, it's the very definition of DDoS, as it overruns the files and keeps maximizing the client output which is shown as 'text' and 'cardfight requests', as those are the only options in-game which a normal player can access that would create lag in the server. Before, when it was laggy, it was:
a) Due to the host's slow internet
b) Due to a large number of people in rooms
And DDoS exploits the b variant by maximizing the data flow, thusly crashing the server constantly. Or at least that's what I've deducted before. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Ok so I can see that people are able to play on this sim at the moment. For the life of me I cannot get it to stop telling me to update.

I have redownloaded the game, I have placed the new exe in after deleting the old one etc etc.

Can someone do me a massive solid and link me to the exe I am to download because the one at the start of this thread does not work. Thanks.
