"Spyware" dll in P99's patch files.

Registered on the site in 2010 and complaining about this now.

To quote the EULA, Project 1999 severely disallows and ACTIVLY TRACKS players who use Third Party Programs/Cheating.

How else did you think they were Actively Tracking?

Damn, found the reason for all my PC issues. Thank you

Nah, Rogean, that doesn't quite (there you go, Spithridates) cut it.

What you are doing ís bad. That's the entire point here. And you especially know that you've hit the nail perfectly on the head when the trolls all surface immediately after ;-)

Your "we are not collecting your processes/windows" is a statement that you can't possibly prove, so it doesn't really get us anywhere. And the potential constant monitoring of thousands of players processes/windows are "bad" enough here, Rogean, you don't even have to be collecting anything, you obviously know that already.

So why not just start owing up to some of this by putting a huge sign alongside your "patch files" on your front page, stating that you're monitoring peoples windows in order to uphold your "rules". That would be the honest thing to do and at least a start, but you don't really have any intentions of actually informing 99.9 % of your players, do you now, Rogean ;-)

And "obfuscation technologies", haha, good one ;-)

So Rogean has spoken about this in the past and has went as far as to name the obfuscation software that P99 uses to encrypt the code stored inside the DLL file.

Here is the link to their site so that you can read up on why and how this works. It makes sense to do this.

Memory injection methods used by software would return hashes that do not match hashes server side. This would flag the client to have changed said information stored at that memory location.

It would then be relatively simple to see what "most popular" cheating software (not that it matters) changes that particular code block and then ban the player for using it.

100% Legal while you are running the P99 software.

If the tracking persisted when you had a reasonable expectation for privacy (when the game wasn't running), then you might have a case. The burden of proof would remain.

P99 is a passion project. It is held together with love and hard work by volunteers. There is no Swiss bank account filled with the gold collected from donations. Every day I log on and the game is running I am grateful for all the hard work being done by everyone (programmers, GM's, guides, Guild Leaders, Raid Leaders, Dial a Port, Ring a Rez, etc) who contributes to P99's success.

Hello.
Does it mean that, when I'm watching porn during a camp, P99 staff can see the same vids? If yes, I'd like to know if they share my taste.
