CD Hash

Post by Toxic505 »

I recently built a new PC and installed PR on it and with the new updates I have run into an issue where my CD hash is not unique to me and my hardware. I checked with some of the server logs and around 10 people are using my CD Hash. How can I make a new unique CD hash so my name isn't associated with others with the same CD hash?

Thanks!

Toxic is a HOG admin and HOG is notoriously low on admins...any chance you can fix this for him?

Hey! I started playing this game last Tuesday (13th) And I have the exact same problem as mentioned above. I am banned from a lot of servers, and I checked my CD Hash and got confirmed from a HOG admin that the Hash originally belongs to a well known cheater. Please help me with this and give me a new hash. There is no other way for me to be able to play this..

Thanks

So there is a fix for only a few people who's hash's are not banned from servers. For those who have a hash that is banned from a server you're pretty much SOL until the devs can sort out another fix.

For the fix that worked for me, someone with the same hash as myself had to be connected to a server that I was on at the same time. The game will notice the issue and generate a new hash for the users. That is how I was able to get a new hash.

I wish those who have this problem, good luck! Hopefully the devs will be a little more vocal about this issue instead of leaving some of us in the dark.

Well if the game has such feature, there must be a way to force activate this. I really want to play some Deployment, but I am currently banned on all the popular servers..

Sorry man. I guess the devs don't figure this an issue big enough that warrants a response. :o ops:

We have a system in place to remove hash collisions. We will not force new hashes as we have no way to tell if someone is legitimately banned or not. Anyone that is affected by this and banned on servers needs to contact that server and ask to be unbanned. Servers exist for long time and have long ban lists, most of those on that list likely are not even around anymore or got banned for stupid reasons in first place.

See, I wish you or another dev would've commented sooner on this issue. At least that shines more light on the issue, thanks.
