ImpousVileTerror Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I had a power outage today after the server maintenance window, and my Tequila got rebooted as a consequence. I noticed that it downloaded (what looked to be) a "cityofheroes-pre.exe" file in to the "hc-bin64" directory rather quickly. Does anyone know what this is about? Is there something on the horizon, like the olden days of "offline patching?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Yeah, I saw it too. It's a small patch on the staging servers. My guess is to address an exploit, and will be hitting the live servers soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpousVileTerror Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 There are a few bouncing around still, but we don't discuss them. Devs have been informed, to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc_Scorpion Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I saw that too... But no patch notes, which I find very bothersome. Even if the patch didn't/doesn't do anything significant, patch notes are how we the players know that it's WAI and not a bug or hack job. 2 1 Unofficial Homecoming Wiki - Paragon Wiki updated for Homecoming!

starro Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I saw the small download and repeated on second pc. Patch notes or some background service updates?

Frostbiter Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think this may be the patch that adds 30% more beef to the hotdogs in Brickstown. There have been complaints. 1 2 Torchbearer Discount Heroes SG: Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute Silver Mantra - Martial Arts/Electric Armor Scrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a Bug Report posted over the weekend that disappeared the next day. It was a fairly significant exploit, so I imagine they are hot fixing it, if it's possible. Ideally, they would also hot fix some of the other easy bug fixes as well, but we'll see.

City Council Jimmy Posted June 24, 2020 City Council Share Posted June 24, 2020 It's a minor update just on staging right now with a few crash fixes. Should be on live soon - it's client side only so won't require a server restart. 1 2 Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive? Consider volunteering as a Game Master!

Right here, Patch notes were ready to go but hidden until the patch was actually deployed. It was on staging briefly so we could double check it didn't affect the recent manifest updates to clear out bad mirrors.

ImpousVileTerror Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Oh, @Bopper . . . you tease! But then, I suppose I'm one too . . . Tell you what. I'll show you mine, if you show me yours! (But seriously: Don't. As curious as I am to know if it was the same potential exploit, or something entirely different, it's not worth the risk. I just hope that the Devs consider announcing the exploits when they're closed, so I can compare notes.) Also, importantly: Anyone who is reporting a bug which results in a potential serious exploit, please direct your bug report to a Homecoming Team member in private! Posting them to the Bugs forum just gives other users the chance to see it before it can be tackled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
