MAC address can be changed easily. Same goes for virtually every hardware related signature (RG included HD serials and we all know ho well that worked).

Is there no alternative? Huh

Nope; as long as the client needs to fetch and send it, it can fake and send it too.

Didn't roshambo find a pretty effective ban method going back to the street's closest ISP "hub"?

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

It didn't work very well, it sometimes took a very long time to find it.

And I fear that you may ban all of my town if you do that. :-s

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

make each client in the tt patch generate there own serial and then use that to ban people instead of renegade serial.

How exactly would that work? What if you uninstall Renegade (& wipe registry & all traces of the serial) then reinstall the game? Wouldn't it generate a new serial then? Razz
