Watch Dogs 2 Modders Hate The Games Final Patch. Watch Dogs 2 got its final patch today, which makes impossible to use mods while online if youre playing on PC. The games publisher, Ubisoft, says that this is to ensure fair online play, but the games small modding community is very frustrated. The 1. 1. 7 patch wasnt announced as a modding blocker. The features rolled out in it include tweaks to the recently added four player party mode, as well as bug fixes for co op. This is an excerpt from my upcoming book, BLOOD, SWEAT, AND PIXELS, which comes out on September 5 and tells the stories behind 10 different games including Diablo. Patch Diablo 2 No Cd 1.13' title='Patch Diablo 2 No Cd 1.13' />Shortly after it was released, some modders noticed and began to complain. If Watch Dogs 2 had been the blockbuster Ubisoft hoped it to be, that complaint might be loud, but instead it manifests as less noticeable venting on places like the increasingly barren Watch Dogs 2 subreddit. There, loyalists who stuck with the game expressed their anger. As of this morning, I found out that the latest update on PC killed modding, Deebz, an active and vocal Watch Dogs 2 modder, posted on the subreddit this morning. Any positivity from my original message has been rescinded. Instead, Ill just leave you with the list of a few issues in this utter mess of a game that you have failed to fix. He listed a half dozen issues, including players on the opposite team being unmarked or marked as friendly during multiplayer modes and the game outright crashing when you shoot people. The Watch Dogs 2 modding community is small. The modding community of WD2 in particular consists of like 1. Kotaku over reddit. According to Steam Spy, the game currently reaches a maximum of about 1,0. Modders use the game to to fix graphical issues as well as a few bugs. Deebzs favorite mod allows players to use the camera mode while in the helicopter. Deebz says he helped pave the way for modding Watch Dogs 2 and remembers multiplayer for the original Watch Dogs as being a lawless wasteland, with most players using mods to cheat. He says that he and his fellow modders use their mods ethically. Only a few of us know how to mod the game properly, and weve all agreed to use our knowledge ethically, he told Kotaku over reddit direct messages. We only play online with mods that do not give us an advantage, and we never released anything that could be used to cheat. According to those players, modding was a means to having a smoother gaming experience. Ubisoft, however, says modding has also at times hurt online play. Though we appreciate that many in our community are very careful about not using mods while being online, this isnt true of all players, Kris Young, producer on Watch Dogs 2, told Kotaku over email. In order to create a healthy and fair environment for all our players, we had to fix this problem. You can now still enjoy your favorite mods while playing offline and disabling the Easy Anti Cheat system though we cant offer official support for this or enjoy a more fair online experience when playing online with your friends. Even knowing they can still use mods, this isnt an acceptable solution for members of the modding community. The online modes are too much of a part of the game, Deebz said. Watch Dogs 2, like its predecessor, has passive online modes where other players can invade your game, as well as Pv. P multiplayer, all set in the games shared open world. Considering how few of us there are who actually do mod the game, and the fact that we do not release or even use any mods that give unfair advantages online, there really was no reason for this change in my opinion. Deebz was an obvious person to talk to for coverage of Ubisofts mod blocking patch, because Deebz has been visible in discussions about this game. He is the kind of outspoken gamer who uses the tools available to him to tell developers how they can improve their game. When he noticed a problem with the escape key being bound to too many functions in the game, he didnt just complain about it on reddit, he typed out changes to the games code that he said would solve the issue and posted them for Ubi reps who monitor the games subreddit to see. A Ubisoft representative told me that they would not fix this issue because it would allow players to skip scenes in the story that they were not supposed to skip, breaking the game in some cases, he told Kotaku. He insists that his solution was totally fine. I can say this with absolute certainty, because I actually played through the entire story a second time after using this fix, and skipped just about everything I could in the process. Deebzs problem now may be that Ubisoft says they cant distinguish between mods that help players cheat and mods that dont. This solution was a compromise they had to make, Young told Kotaku. Its a topic that has been on our minds since it was raised by community members who visited the studio well before the game launched, Young said. Weve come back to it several times since, but with the nature of our seamless technology, its a tradeoff we had to make to maintain healthy and fair online play. How Blizzard Saved Diablo III From Disaster. This is an excerpt from my upcoming book, BLOOD, SWEAT, AND PIXELS, which comes out on September 5 and tells the stories behind 1. Diablo III, Uncharted 4, and Star Wars 1. You can pre order the book at your favorite bookstore. On May 1. 5, 2. 01.

Diablo players had already been skeptical about Blizzards decision to make Diablo III online onlya decision that cynics assumed was driven by fear of piracyand these server issues nourished the belief that it had been a bad idea. It immediately occurred to fans that if they could play Diablo III offline, they would be fighting their way through New Tristram right now, not trying to figure out what Error 3. Over at Blizzards campus in Irvine, California, a group of engineers and live ops producers sat in their self proclaimed war room, freaking out. Diablo III had outsold their wildest expectations, but their servers couldnt handle the flood of players trying to log into the game. Around 1 0. 0 a. Pacific time Blizzard posted a brief message Please note that due to a high volume of traffic, login and character creation may be slower than normal. We hope to resolve these issues as soon as possible and appreciate your patience. A few miles away, at the Irvine Spectrum outdoor mall, the rest of the Diablo III team had no idea that people couldnt play their game. They were busy partying. Hundreds of hard core fans, dressed in spiky armor and carrying giant foam battle axes, had come out for the official Diablo III launch event. As Blizzards developers signed autographs and passed out swag to the crowd, they started to hear whispers about overloaded servers. Soon it became clear that this wasnt a standard launch hiccup. It really caught everybody by surprise, said Blizzards Josh Mosqueira. Its kind of funny to say. You have such an anticipated gamehow can it catch anybody by surprise But I remember being in the meetings leading up to that, people saying, Are we really ready for this OK, lets double the predictions, lets triple the predictions. And even those ended up being super conservative. Later that day, as fans tried again to load Diablo III, they found another vague message Unable to connect to the service or the connection was interrupted. Error 3. 00. 3. Error 3.

Weve been humbled by your enthusiasm, they wrote. We sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. Finally, the world could play Diablo III. Like its predecessors, the third Diablo would let you build up a character and hack your way through landscapes full of demons, collecting fistfuls of shiny loot along the way. Youd unlock abilities based on the class youd selected wizard, demon hunter, etc., switching between a large array of spells and skills. And youd power through dungeon after dungeon, all of which were procedurally generated so that no two playthroughs would be the same. It appeared, at first, to be the game that fans had been waiting for. In the weeks to come, however, players would discover that Diablo III had some fundamental flaws. It was satisfying to rip through hordes of monsters, but the difficulty ramped up way too fast. Legendary items dropped too infrequently. The end game was too challenging. And, perhaps most frustrating of all, the loot system seemed to revolve around the in game auction house, where Diablo III players could use real life money to buy and sell powerful equipment. This controversial system made Diablo III feel like a dreaded pay to win game, in which the best way to beef up your character wasnt to play the game and make fun decisions, but to type your credit card number into a form on Blizzards website. Since Blizzards founding in 1. Warcraft and Star. Craft. When you saw the jagged blue Blizzard logo attached to a game, you knew you were getting something unparalleled. With Diablo II in 2. Blizzard had developed the definitive action RPG, a game that inspired countless all nighters and LAN sessions as millions of teenagers gathered to battle disfigured demons and hunt for elusive Stones of Jordan. Diablo II was widely considered one of the best games ever made. Now, in May 2. 01. Diablo III had associated the Blizzard logo with something that the company had never experienced public failure. And even after Error 3. Josh Mosqueira had always hated winters in Montreal. A Mexican Canadian with a thick blended accent who had served as a Black Watch infantryman in the Canadian army, Mosqueira spent his early career years writing role playing games for the publisher White Wolf while trying to break into the video game industry. After working on a few games and spending a seven year stint at Relic Entertainment in Vancouver, Mosqueira moved across Canada to work on Far Cry 3 at Ubisofts massive office in Montreal, where winter temperatures tended to drop a few degrees lower than they should in any human inhabited city. On one particularly snowy day in February 2. Error 3. 7, Mosqueira got a call from Jay Wilson, an old friend from his Relic days. Wilson was now working at Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine, California, and they were looking for a new lead designer on Diablo III, the game he was directing. Someone from Ubisoft had applied, so Wilson wanted to know what the culture was like over there. Would this prospective new designer fit in The two friends got to talking, and then Wilson offered up another option What if Mosqueira took the job Mosqueira said hed have to think about it. He looked out his window, watching the snow fall, and realized there wasnt much to think about. Fast forward two and a half months, and I find myself walking into these halls as the lead designer for the console version of Diablo III, Mosqueira said. His job was to direct a very small teamthree, at first, including himthat would adapt Diablo III for the Xbox and Play. Station. This was a surprising initiative for Blizzard, which for years had resisted releasing games on consoles, instead choosing to put out massive hits like World of Warcraft and Star. Craft II only on PC and Mac. With Diablo III, Blizzards brain trust finally saw an opportunity to explore the giant world of console gaming.
