How do you implement this fix if you own a gameservers.com server.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

That's great news. Thanks so much. Hope there is a Halo CE version coming...

When I said implement this fix, I meant for Halo CE. If I should mention that.

I fired off an email to Game Servers about this, so hopefully they will implement it ASAP.

They should release the code they added, and I presume this is HPC only and that HCE and the demo remain affected., along with the inbuilt game server. It's a small start.

Service providers aren't going to be eager to use non official files.

The fix should still ideally come from MS.

Edit: Did Sodomoy and Influx have anything to do with this patch, or did they just use the PPF that somebody else made and upload an .exe? ;)

Btcc22, my understanding is that they used the PPF and created an .exe, presumably just to make things a little easier. Don't quote me on this though because I can't even remember which site I read this on.

Also, in regards to your worry about service providers not being eager to use non official files there was a post on the gameservers forum from a staff member which read:
'The patch has been applied to all of the Halo servers.', so doesn't look like they have a problem with it ;D

I have been testing the work-around made by Goemitar and it doesn't fully fixes the bug, the vulnerability is still there and anyone else besides me who discovers this vulnerability may do as what have been done earlier.

That rain-walk-candace-bj-creepy mexican-chocolate liquor thing was one of the best nights ever in world history.

I talked to omega(Goemitar) and he said its more of a beta and he only released cause people were asking him so much to release and his PPF doesnt work on x64 systems, so there are things to fix still, but he's on it.

Does the new v1.07 build fix this, or do you need this to solve it?
