because AH detects people hacks and players like to not get caught?

I've been wondering the same as tk.
Every time I ask why sum1 has no ah, the answers r ridiculous.

BTW. Why the ladder #1 hasn't been demoted for being 1.5months dodging?

Because old loader have not been compatible with gog war2, i rebuilt it and just removed antihack from last version 4.4

Maybe that is the main reason. Going to release a new combat soon, still not sure what do to with antihack there...

IF THERE IS A HOSTING FIX IT SHOULD BE BUNDLED WITH THE AH SO PEOPLE HAVE TO USE IT OR THEY CANT JOIN GAMES.


You can release the hosting fix first, just change the server later when the new AH is ready

Actually I guess the ah doesn't work. Fix it plz asap. It should b requested for all ppl imo.

However. I don't understand. Why do u/we give a flying shit about combat being compatible with gog??
Plus I checked the gog server. No1 there

Suggestion for the upcoming combat 45 installer:

Take all improvements from 44 and apply them to 43 and turn it into 45 (2.0.2.0). This way we're going to have all the tools working again and we can use the old AH.


Suggestion for the upcoming combat 46 installer:

Create a whole new AH that isn't optional, everyone must be forced to use it.

CD will not work with GOG war2 as they changed install.exe archive to install.mpq for some strange reasons...
That causes big problems with compatibility between 2020 and gog2021 also

Agree. Well, i think i'll add gog2021 as an option (to make it possible to state it's gog compatible as a way to attract newbies).
But gog2021 should never be used for ordinary players...

GOG was never shit... BUT every now and again some random nostelgic person will get WC2 from them, then log in and find the server empty. There really should be a bot there directing people to our community even if it's only a few noobs a year I think its well worth it.

Yes. When I first suggested the AH back on the old occult forum, that was always the plan. You have to make it mandatory. I think the problem is that iL's current AH monitors WC2 from a seperate process, while the WC2 exe itself remains identical and indistinguishable from the original version, so the pvpgn server can't tell the difference.

I have spoken at length with iL about future strategies for a more comprehensive AH, and am happy to assist with implimenting it.

The GOG version doesn't need the CD to work, it has the no-cd patch already applied to it. The original BNE version searched the file "install.exe" to locate the CD path.

So what are we talking about here? The gog version won't play the music from the CD?... apart from the security check to stop pirates (and whatever verification data it extracted from install.exe) im pretty sure the only thing the CD did was play the music... and I think there is also an option to leave the campaign videos on the CD also to save 90's HDD space hehe.
