For people who have experienced the nickname fix issue (where someone uses a bad nickname and doesnt get blocked), do you get the "Player with invalid nickname blocked, player IP was 1.2.3.4" message?
Describe the exploit (i.e. what was the nickname the exploiter used and what side effects happened when he joined)
Was the server running on GameSpy or WOL? (if running something like WolSpy that lets the server be on both and you can identfy which connection method the bad guy was using, include that too)
Any other information would be usefull, so far I am unable to reproduce this problem in any of my own tests. (although I still have to do some tests on a server cofigured as WOL or WOL with WolSpy)

I just redownload SSAOW 1.4 and tried some stuff, this is what I got:

When trying to join with the hostname, Ren crashes so yea that works. - I get that Player with invalid nickname blocked message

When I joined as someone ingame, I take there place. The Player with invalid nickname blocked message comes up and get kicked after 2 minutes.

We got someone joining in with the host name. The logs said "xxxx was kicked" but the only thing that happened is that the server just crashed!

So instead of crashing the client, it crashed the server (which had to reconnect to xwis). Happened twice already.


You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Yeah, that's one other thing that happens too, sometime it crashes the server along with the exploiter's Renegade.
