i think everyone need to calm down.

i spent nearly 8 hours to get the game working, trying all the different versions, and messing with the files. i assume everyone here has spent at least the same time trying.

if not, it's better to keep trying or wait the proper crack which will be delayed further with your harassing the devs.

problems i've encountered so far?

WORKING UBISOFT GAME LAUNCHER PROCEDURE:

Ubisoft game launcher folder took from 17mb "PROGRESS SO FAR" file was fine... though didn't kept the savegame data. that is easy resolved by making all files read/write and not read only, and editing the permissions on the folders and subfolders to "Everyone" read/write. Done that, edit settings.ini and delete username (drzapp) and his password.

WORKING SOURCE SERVER PROCEDURE:

Install pyton 2.6 for win32 (no matter what win you have) and pycrypto (win32 version).
get source files here in the forums, and unpack into "?:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction\src\system\" this folder of Conviction game path.
add inside the folder you create the file missing (python26.dll, you can find it here on the boards).
then extract in the server folder the updates 1st4ck is posting here.

HOSTS FILE:



these are the servers to add in hosts file (located in: windows system32 drivers etc). you must open and edit with notepad.exe launched in administrator mode. then just save the file without adding any extension.
the last line (gconnect.ubi.com) is marked commented because i want coop gameplay. if you want to disable multiplayer just remove the # before 127 of that line.

CMD HTTP STOP:

run cmd.exe with administrative privileges.
write "net stop http /y" and enter.

RUN THE GAME

then run server.py from the sources folder or with a desktop link
if you used my hosts config up here, it should give 2 error lines, it's fine this way.
then run conviction from the exe conviction_game.exe or from a desktop link.
Enter your username and your password, and disable upload savegame feature. now your settings.ini in ubisoft game launcher should keep the line: "SaveOnline=false" at the end of it.

play.

Wrong! The Data is not random.

Take the log in excel and filter them. Then order. YOu will get this:


the list is sorted by first Numbers. But the last are the same too or 1-2 Different onlyy. So a System!
(I will eat my head if there is no system)

we can do missions?

Sadly co-op works only like this for now:

Legal one hosts (The one who got original game) while cracked can join, no support between cracked and cracked.

I can't even get into the co-op/MP menu because it tells me something about servers being down.

Ain't work for me.

could some1 analyze this pic for me ?
how can i fix this thing,i think i've tried every damn this i saw on this forum

It seems the client connects to local.madserver.net and z.madserver.net -> I don't know whats happening there. There are some additional crypted parts send like (O......k¢ìWžebÎo=RŽ¦Kr.3-d¿

Please be carefull and block locate.madserver.net, edge-media.madserver.net, i.madserver.net and z.madserver.net in your hosts! Should only be used for ingame-advertising... but who knows what really is transfered there in the crypted parts...
