Hi all, I followed the instructions of the forum to see what happens. With success I could gain more money. But for that TDU complained that my savegame would have been Invalid and did kick me out of the car trade. I can do now what I want, installing my backup savegame, or start a new profil, I can no more access / buy cars from the cars trade. I guess Atari did blacklist my Account for trying to load my backup savegame....

Does anybody expecines familar things?

Also sinces I can no more trade for unlockable cars like the 8C or ME 4 12... is there a way to unlock them thougth hex editoing ? becuase I see otherwise no chance to get access to this cars anymore

If I had known what happens and that making and using a backup does not work at all I had not even tryed this... -_- but well there was nowhere a waring

I'd like to hear if anyone else is having the same issue after using one of the editors/trainers or savegames that we have posted. I went ahead and updated the description on these that they are NOT to be used for multiplayer/onlne play just in case there is an issue with it.

the savegame might have a kind of hiden checksum thing. I mean yet with this version of the game you can continue to play but your id i guess gets listed to those people that are not allowed to use car trading.. I'm affraid that futured versions will ban those ID's from the game fully, what would kill my account enternaly.

Online accounts gets locked first the trading and if you continue to play with a hacked savegame then your account will be removed from gamespy, happened to a lot of people already, the thing is people with lots of money start buying cars and sell them again. So cheating ok for offline but for online accounts use at your own risk.

Atari has gone to a lot of trouble to stop people cheating and this is why you cant mod the game which i think is unfair if you are playing offline.

Atari should have Punkbuster and there should be a option in the network configuration for mods offline and disabled online.

This is a very good game and it would even be better if it could be modded.

i have it to
but i have mixed savegames XD
an offline char whit that C6 changed to FF whit an trainer
whit my online char
