I am still getting errors, and I have never installed cheat engine, or anything, I'm new to the game, and can't get it to work, and I don't even have a .ct folder when I went and looked.

i've became a damn good sniper over the time then cheaters were on server. May be Ban shuold made a game mode where you can only kill your opponent then tyou hit him in the head?

So, the only reason I can't play Ace of spades anymore is because I have a piece of software sitting on my PC I only use in SP games (I haven't even used it in 2 years)?

Also, using Cheat Engine really *shouldn't* be possible in games like these, CE is client-side software, if it can also manipulate the server-side of things then that's a HUGE mistake/oversight from the developers. I can't put this any other way, sorry.

I'd understand it if the game locked you out if you were RUNNING Cheat Engine (or similar programs), but to forbid you from playing a game simply because you have something else installed on your PC? That's just being a jerk.

Note: I have never cheated in AoS or any other online game and never will cheat. I am against hackers as much as any other man, but I do still claim my right to do with my PC as *I* want, not what some developer wants me to do.

I had some other programs with ct but most of it was .CTT, etc.

Hi. Actually, if I am to believe what I read, there are OTHER legitimate programs that use a LOWERCASE ".ct" in the registry OTHER than Cheat Engine. So before you start slinging around derogatory terms think about that. (Personally I think it's all kind of hilarious. And at risk of getting banned there IS, in fact, a "trainer" app by some guy known as "ape" which is the real culprit. Not gonna post a link to it though. It has super-annoying nade spamming features, god mode and stuff like that. Just posting this for info purposes. It seems like Ben has this matter well in hand more or less.)

Pretty much that, dunno why that post wasn't deleted but what ever.

THAT WORKED! Wow! Thank you. I don't even remember installing Cheat Engine, must of been along time ago. Basically just use the windows search bar on the Start menu, and search "regedit" then go to HKEY_CLASS_ROOT then delete .CT
It worrkeddd!!!! Thank you!
:)

Guess what gents... the mystery has been solved. I sort of suspected this was the case. If you ever previously installed Cheat Engine then Ben Askoy left a little gift. Open regedit, go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, find and remove the folder called .CT

Your game will now work. I admit it. I did some speedhack digging during the night of .32 when everybody had no name and went insane. I have learned my lesson & hopefully you have too. :-P Thanks to Facepunch's hunter_killah for discovering this fix.

That should work

I agree it is stupid to protect the game. There are still cheaters in the game so i think it would be better to implement a voteban system that blocks their ip. It would result in the people who hack and grief having to wait it out, changing their ip, or download a proxy, and it wouldn't be worth griefing a game that will have you changing your ip every time you disconnect.

may be it sound a bit nervous, but it the most stupid way to "protect" the game from cheaters. The people wyho realy want to cheat will do so, and other, thac couldn't play just for reason, they have some program installed will be annoyed. Untill there will be no on-server values the game is ton portected.

Mhm

Ahh, Thanks for that.

I copied it from the unofficial forums. The thread should be the same as this in support.

Out of question, but did you post this guide either in the un-official forums, or anywhere else?

I can't be helpful at all with any of this, roflzoids. The mod deleted my helpful guide to fix it, and i can see their reason now. So i'm not going to post it again.

By "More than cheat engine". You mean, to delete and other kind of software generally used for cheating? And i've only cheated on literally 2 games, Combat Arms and Runescape.

No, you have to delete more than cheat engine is all i'm going to say. Pretty sure everyone who has this problem is guilty of cheating on one game or another. It also may be caused by visualization software.

@noire I do have cheat engine, i just didn't download it myself. A friend of mine downloaded it for Runescape -.- So, if i uninstalled Cheat Engine, it may work?

Well i can't help you as the mod will end up deleting my post, the best thing for you to do is go the unofficial ace of spade forums and check there.

I uninstalled CE but the game still doesn't work.

It is a good idea, just wish it was possible for an admin to ip ban someone though, as there are still hackers in the game.

@roflzoids
I'm not going to post the tutorial on what you need to do again as it got deleted so there was obviously a reason, but i'm going to assume you have cheat engine installed.

I personally think it's a good idea. I just used CE for MC, not for AoS. It keeps little h4x0r kids away.

Eh, i was told by someone to download it for Metal Assault, didn't end up working very well. Also even if you uninstall it you still need to manually edit the registry to delete everything that was there for it. Although this doesn't really seem to help as i was just in a game with 2 people speedhacking an entire mountain to death. :\

I have the EXACT same problem on any server i join, i've been looking around the internet for a solution and it's only Vista(Any Variation) And Windows 7 (Any Var.) that won't run the game.

Personally, i think it's the update, maybe a bug in the codinng, who knows. Best thing we can do at the moment is wait for the Dev. to try and sort it out

Bit annoyed if i'm honest --.--

Seriously? Cheat Engine is the problem? I don't even use it on this game. I think it should rather detect if the cheat engine is running, rather than if it's installed.

You shouldn't be cheating though if you don't want to go through that process again

Thanks a lot to the guy whose post got deleted =3

Uninstall Cheat Engine. Right now.

I just want to try out my m200 cheytac intervention desert camo mod =(
