[rbsxglitcher12]

10 months according to my xbox, I'm basically just going to make a new acc.

[Otaku Se7en]

When your banned it bans your Xbox, not your gamertag.

[rbsxglitcher12]

I dunno because I can play on my other acc that has a 1 month on it.

Any other tags you make will be banned for the duration as well.

Seriously? I only got banned for 2 days for having f***ers in my motto. Which I find strange anyway, since they don't ban you at all for an inappropriate gamertag (my brother has had to change his GT about 10 times now and hasn't been banned once). You'd think they'd be stricter about inappropriate names, since they're more visible.

Have to contacted Xbox Live about this?

I used a one month card to make a new GT when I was banned and it let me play online, although that my be because it was a very short ban.

For something that is suppose to be a fresh start, this thread is surely going off-topic.

As for the topic at hand, I still don't see it working. XKAI/XBC is probably the only way to go. As has been discussed in the other L4D theads, you cannot even get to the multiplayer menu/lobby without being connected to Xbox Live and having ZA set to HIGH prevents Xbox Live or anyone else from connecting to you using ICS. Once you are connected, you still have to do the title update if you've removed the cache.

Sure the "A" button thing still works for starting your own Server, but the modded Usersettings file is NOT utilized. Using someone else's file isn't going to make a difference, they are all the same thing. Unless of course you've seen Koreans and Austrailians modding in the game post patch.

We've all established the old way dosen't work, and the Zone Alarm Idea was to block off the scan, bad idea, but something to think about. Perhaps just simply Standbying at the right second will do the same thing.

Ye, the guys said he would try to figure it out and get me unbanned but doubt that'll happen lol.

Know on topic, we need someone with standby/lag switch abilities...anyone up for it?

[Otaku Se7en]

I am, but I need another router before I can do so. My internet comes from a wireless bridge to my neighbors internet. Someone taught me to do that, then PunkSkater2448 got a tut on it about a week later. But why that matters is my Lag Switch cord hooks my PC to my router, which goes to my 360. If I flip it, the PC dis connects, does not reconnect unless I get up, and walk over to it, unhook the ethernet cable, rehook it up, and click 'Repair' on the LAN connection Icon.

Furthermore, I want details on when these Updates and scans are coming through. I'm going to try and go with no Updates, since they've done nothing so far to patch the game, only modding.

[rbsxglitcher12]

I believe that Valves server scans to see if you have a modified User Settings file when you first start the game in the lobby and it says "Searching for Dedicated Server". Similar to past modding. Your right about the update to, there are none except for the Modding patch.

Hmm, then lets see if I can skip it, it will likely not let me play online period without the updates being confirmed and up to date at some point.

this should be stickied

[Otaku Se7en]

If it was sticky worthy it would be, but its not sadly, thanks for the opinion I'll take as a compliment.

Using a Windows computer and ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and a Firewall or IP blocking program, you can BLOCK access to the Dedicated Servers so
that you can only find and join User Hosted Servers. Most of the time these servers are hosted by other Modders, so you can MOD the MODDERS and help out the other people in the game. You can test and determine what IP Ranges are the Dedicated Servers with a network traffic monitoring program.

I'm a n00b when it comes to internet and xbox live (like cheating things) but a similar method seems to work as stated above

I dont know if it helps

[rbsxglitcher12]

Have you tested it, because it sounds like it works....

[Iceflame9]

How would it work because I thought the Title Update basically disables all cheats in the UserSettings file or something like that even with a User Hosted Server

They are incorrectly quoting and taking out of context a tutorial that was established well before the Title Update. It doesn't work anymore.

it said post-patch and my box was in the shop when thiis mod method was conceived

Post Patch indeed... If you actually read the entire tutorial that you took out of context and misquoted, you would see that POST PATCH was specifically in reference to the Server Side Update. The title update that came afterwards is completely different. You have to remember these various tutorials were written well before the title update was released, but they do reference what would have to be done post Title Update.

I assume the following is what you are referring to as Post Patch...

In order to continue using these MODS, you'll have to remove the Title Update (if present) and play offline, and/or System Link with another console that has also removed the Title Update. You'll also have to play disconnected from XBOX LIVE, so as not to initiate an automatic Title Update (if available).
