Official release date: 31 May (pre-download: 27 May)

Patch completion/script unlock: 4 Jun ¹

Progress so far (updated incrementally):

• DONE - Locate the "check functions"
  • Unable to locate the login function using static analysis. The UserAssembly layout has changed. This needs debugging, hence will be done on release day. Inputs are welcome.
• DONE - Locate the service start function
• DONE - Locate & patch the manufacturer string ("Wine")
• DONE - Write patch skeleton
• DONE - Anti-abuse quirk
• DONE - Check for new launcher key

Tasks after official launch:

• DONE - Dump "correct" values from a Windows installation
• DONE - Check for newly added logging servers
• DONE - New code for the second validation check
• DONE - Publish patch for testing
• TODO - Test that patch (crowdsourcing)

Note: The CN counterpart is done by @y0soro and will have the same changes.

Please only answer to this issue if you have questions or helpful inputs.

¹) Might also take longer. New code is an unknown time factor.

Finally, notabug is back up. Waiting eagerly for this update.

Previous reports on https://gitlab.com/SmallJoker/dawn_temporary/-/issues/1 - linking here until they're moved over (or yeeted).

@cybik thanks for the heads up. Didn't know that backup site existed!

Been playing for 2 hours, no problem so far

The current patch will be unlocked on 4 Jun. As usual, I recommend to use testing accounts in the meantime.

Annotations:

• I appreciate the gameplay reports, but there is no need for this many details. Please rather highlight what you were doing before a game crash (if it is reproducible).
• The GitLab instance will de deleted in a few days. If you would like to keep a comment, feel free to migrate (copy&paste) it.

Development information recap/import:

• 2nd check function: different data handling. -> use memcpy
• 3rd check function: return value is apparently not relevant (found in 2.5.0 too)
• Delayed server-side checks (intentional or not), hence 31-4302 after approx. 2 days.
• UnityPlayer uses C++' std::wstring standard memory layout.

Here is my report of the patchv2, completing the one I did for the patchv1 on GitLab:

Test report

System information

• Kernel 5.18-AMD-znver2
• Distro: Arch Linux
• APU: Ryzen 7 4700U
• GPU Driver: amdgpu

Environment

Using an-anime-game-launcher, installed from the AUR.

• Wine: Lutris GE 7.2, also tested on Proton GE 7.20
• DXVK: 1.10.1
• FSR 1.0
• Esync and Fsync synchronization
• Gamemode, both enabled and disabled

General Linux support

• Using a throwaway account, only had ~1h playtime on it before this, AR7
• Surveys using the in-game browser works! (Though it takes some time to open)
• Performance was as expected, not great, but I'm running on integrated graphics…
• Using a Steam controller and SC-Controller works as expected, hotplugging even worked

Patch support

Worked flawlessly. Haven't been banned, I used the patch for the first time >12h ago, and nothing appears to be wrong…

Conclusion

Patch doesn't cause any issue for me, I hope it'll stay that way :) I may have the courage of testing it on my main account on my desktop later today, if no ban is reported

Thanks again, Krock, for the great work, looking forward to playing the game again :)

Test Results:

Played for 2 hours, game works beautifully. Would like to note that the FPS unlocker 1.4.2 was causing all kinds of crashes with 2.7, but 2.0.0 has no issues. Thanks for the patch as always!

@krock yeah sorry >.<

I went overboard as a "dayjob defect". I'll try to reel it in.

Gentoo, kernel 5.18, nvidia-drivers 510.73.05, wine 7.9 with dxvk 1.10.1.

Played for around 10 hours on my main account, doing all of my normal activities (dailies, coop, domains, wishes, upgrading artifacts, quests, bosses, abyss). But couldn't find a crash. As of now it's working fine. Thank you so much for the patch!

Started using the patch >24h ago, still not banned, I think it can be considered safe, as I don't think anyone else got banned

Thanks everybody for testing. Despite the short delay and the unfortunate NotABug downtime, everything looks fine so far. The scripts are unlocked now.

If you find any new bug, please open a separate issue (or check for duplicate ones).
