I cannot do any of my missions. how about a laucnher for COH to work with not the stupid ncosft servers that is dead
NCASOFT was not able to get the publishing rights sold. the only thing is go around that is to remove the server entry
No, that is not the only thing.
The ENTIRE PROBLEM is that the actual gameplay logic is NOT part of the client.
Let's take this analogy: You know a demo file is a list of events that the client reads in and follows exactly during playback, right?
Well, here's the thing: That's pretty close to how the game worked with the actual server. The client sent your input to the server played back the response it got. There was some code to handle movement if the server response was delayed, but that's pretty much it. Missions, combat, enemy AI and so on DO NOT EXIST IN THE CLIENT ITSELF.
Your client did not tell the server "I hit the Clockwork with my Apocalyptic Mega Smasher, destroying it.".
Your client told the server "I shoot Apocalyptic Mega Smasher on the Clockwork" and the server responded "You are in range. Your to-hit is 90%. You hit the Clockwork. You damage the Clockwork for 40 HP. You destroy the clockwork. You gain XP. You gain INF."
