Joymax may be trying

[Sir_Edward]

just out of curiosity iv been looking very closely to the updated client this week. after tearing it down and comparing it to the previous client, it looks like this new update may be preventing multi-client.

how it works:

Spoiler!

when you run sro the client generates a random number. when you login that number is sent into the sro system so they know that your client is now logged into the system. when you select your char and connect the system does a scan to see if your client number is already logged in. if it is, sro_client will close. the only way i think you can reset your client number is to d/c. im not the best at deconstruction and reading files so someone more tech savvy may want to double check.

on the outside, joymax doesn't appear to be doing much to stop the botting problem, but i now believe that they are at least making an effort to control it.

Wonder why there's still so many goldbots running around...

Must've been easy as hell to crack.

[Sir_Edward]

i haven't logged in all week so idk how effective it is. i guess it was an easy crack

[strangelove]

Goldbots use a Hackshield emulator which isn't safe and usually results in bans. Bans aren't really an issue for a goldbot.

There are bots in my guild and they can't multiclient so this seems to be holding with regular players !!!!!!!

[ApocalypticDeath]

nope multi client is working saw 9 stalls from the same dude in hotan (non gold bot)

[Sir_Edward]

So I guess it depends on the bot you use. Some must already have it cracked. I just logged in and a lot of player bots are gone in my grindspot. Joymax seems to have a mild success here... For now

Those multi-client freaks eating up server capacity

As you can see multi client is disabled since the last inspection and servers are still full (or almost). Is not the player bots who make the server full, are those greedy goldbots.

I think gold bots use multi-clients as well. It makes financial sense. And if you read the earlier postings you will see one poster saying that he knows or knows of a player who is still using multi-clients. "9 stall form the same dude in hotan"

Some dudes in my guild who bots (I don't, they do...) can't use their multiclient either. So maybe we can have some hope ^^

That is 99% goldbots, goldbots run like Farking 20 characters from 1 computer

No, goldbots uses clientless with hackshield emulator.
The limitation is on the Silkroad client, it checks that hackshield is running and closes SRO if another hackshield instance is running at the same time. No client = no hackshield check = multi botting for all goldbots. The hackshield emulator responses the hackshield packets requests by the server so they don't get DC.

That doesn't help if joymax don't ban the bots in the first place.

always got to be someone who points this out...

[Noobs_Slayer]

I think famous bot companies already beat this small issue. JM can't do anything proper to ensure no usage of MC.
