However, they'll force all those who downloaded the game from EA to use an alternative service to play online. Almost two years ago, EA released Tiberian Sun as freeware, without serial numbers, and the serial number validation was turned off on XWIS.īy re-enabling password validation, Strike Team is trying to use the serial number to cut cheaters from the official ladder, which they can't do just by banning the IP of the cheater.
Eventually, they've became the official server when EA shut down Westwood Online.
But this subject is quite polemic.Īs some of you know, XCC WOL IRC SERVER (also known as XWIS) started as a dedicated fan online server for old C&C games that had strong policies and actions against cheaters.
