MD5 stands for Message Digest 5.
It's an algorithm that computes a 128-bit 32 hex character MD5 strings for each file. This way it can compare the files on the client to insure they haven't been changed. For example, lots of cheats work by hacking the the opengl32.dll file. So PB makes sure the file hasn't been changed. It also does this for every file in the COD directory to insure the files are stock. The magority of kicks are for ignoring MD5 checks. This isn't a result of the player doing anything wrong just a bad connection or packetloss. There for a while after the last patch came out lots of people were getting kicked for MD5 mismatch of uo_game_mp_x86.dll. This wasn't because the player was trying to do anything wrong but had mistakenly install the wrong patch. They installed the server patch not the client patch. Does that answer your question? -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |
