No, because the new game exe works with many new dll files that would be incompatible with old game exe.Anakin wrote:can't we just change the server address via hex edit, just like we did previously? Because i still have the DVD version.
So....they have the source code for the .exe and maybe even more? Hmmm...AnthonyBF2 wrote:No, because the new game exe works with many new dll files that would be incompatible with old game exe.
You can still use SWBFspy, which uses the Gameshare binaries that emulate Gamespy. I will continue to run SWBFspy, as it supports PS2 game versions as well as SWBF1. Contact me if you want more information.SkinnyODST wrote:I`m using the disk version so I can`t play multiplayer even if I wanted to.

They seemed to have done other things and so I don't think that would work. Been following the hundreds of Steam forum comments that go out dailyAnakin wrote:can't we just change the server address via hex edit, just like we did previously? Because i still have the DVD version.

Wonder if that same thing could be applied to SWBF1 to make it steam-compatible.

Back up your modded game of BF2 before installing the latest GOG update for Steam BF2, I know it readds multiplayer but it breaks a lots of mods (1.3, Dark Times, Conv Pack, Legcay, Skin Changer, Fake Console, Custom Eras and Ultimate Pack)
Some people will just say reinstall the mods but the new multiplayer is completely broken for most players atm, meaning in the future there will be lots more updates which will continue to break them, also validating game files will now have a strong chance of breaking these mods again as well as the new master server apparently has anti-cheat which also attacks mods, or so I've been told. Basically this is a huge blow atm to bf2 modding and I cannot stress how important disc copies and back-ups are right now.
Please be aware.
Personal recommendation: Back up a copy of the Ultimate Pack version since it's the disc version and comes with lots o mods.

Why bother? We Have the maps already.
Glad to see the game being patched after all these years.iamastupid wrote:WARNING

I don't want to say that they are lying but that goes against what they've told the press.ARC1778 wrote: According to GoG's LexRust, this update was developed by Disney, not GoG, mailing GoG will have no effect.

But once it's fixed though, it's likely to bring some fresh new eyes to all the great work done by some of the amazing people on this forum, so I'm bringing out a toast to that hope!
Also I reckon it wont be a problem for players with both the DVD version and the Steam version...Or GoG, where you mcan roll back the update if you wish, which is nice, even if steam is screwing me.Dasher wrote:I must concurmswf wrote:I came here hoping to join the celebration of the multiplayer revival.
