Armpatch exploit

[E_Ville]

I don't know if this should be asked here or not, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to make an armpatch that will crash servers?

Evidently there's a way to do it, but I haven't found out how yet.

I would really appreciate any information.

basicaly.....it is not an "exploit" as such....it is simply a known issue with patch 1.3................whereby non-standard armpatches occasionally crashed the server.........UBI know about the issue and it will apparently be solved by patch 1.31 (due to be released on July 22nd)..............In the meantime...those servers that did crash whilst running patch 1.3 have simply disabled "custom armpatches" on their server options.

I understand what you're saying, but what is it about the armpatches that is crashing the servers? Bit depth? Colors?

*lost in wonderment*

[E_Ville]

Just wondering if anyone has come up with any more information on this. There are a couple clan servers I'd really like to take down.

anyway even if you find it out, when you make a server crash this way, after the guy with the "bad" armpatch leaves (disconnects), the server will auto-reboot

[E_Ville]

Right, but then most of the people will also leave and go somewhere else.

ok...well seeing as the patch 1.31 (which fixes this bug)...has JUST been released...this thread is now pretty redundent :(:P
