168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin's servers are finally back online after nearly a year following the discovery of a security risk. However, while it's reportedly "much safer than it was before the patch", there are still several issues to be wary of when playing.
As documented by the community, some key bugs remain - firstly, people can still force invalid items into your inventory which are 'illegal' as per the Dark Souls 2 terms of service, meaning you will get banned for owning these. Essentially, this means that hackers can force bans on unsuspecting players who have done nothing wrong, locking them out of online play.
Secondly, several cheats and hacks still work such as what the community calls "Turrets". This means you can spam bullets and spells which is not only an unfair advantageꦆ, but the swarm of VꩲFX will lag your game. This could indirectly lead to a crash, but another hack that can be employed allows players to intentionally crash your game directly without the need for any spam.
The reason the servers were taken offline in the first place is that hackers were able to gain complete access of other players' computers, stealing passwords and other sensitive data. This was a huge security breach, and so it's understandable that online functionality was completely taken offline while FromSoftware worked to fix the issue, even leading to the original Dark Souls going offline pe꧅rmanently.
However, it's reported that, while the issue is fixed, "fromsoft didn't fix it well. All it needs is one (small) new exploit in order to make use of the rest of the still present RCE code."
Playing online is still risky, even if the most major problems have been ironed out, but you might want to stick to offline if you'd like to avoid risking a ban. In the meantime, modder Lukeyui is rewriting the Blue Acolyte anti-cheat mod which should address several of these issues.
