Archey · Last Online: 03-09-2010 01:55 AM

Okay I finally got xlive, and did the thing in 0lly, but now i can't continue, or load games, or open Windows Live in-game? Is there something wrong?

You probably killed it completely. The newer version of xlive needs xlive to be enabled no matter what, else the game will not run at all.

Well the game runs, just cant load any saves, or get on windows live.

EDIT: After starting a new save game, i saw it moved the saves up one directory, but will it be possible to access windlows live?

Also after trying to change a value with CE, the game still crashed.

Some games save under a xlive profile. Check in your user folder etc. It will be there somewhere, all you do is then start a new game, make a save early on, find where it went after you saved without xlive active. And copy+paste into that folder. Done.

Im guessing this is Fallout 3 your talking about. You dont have to use Olly to disable xlive, just rename the Fallout3.exe.cat file in the game folder.

Other games like GTA4 etc will require xlive to be running so you cant do that and will have to patch xlive.

okay, and renaming the file will make me be able to edit memory, such as values? also i cant seem to get my old xlive.dll, how do i got about doing this?

Yeah, sorry it's not quite as easy as just randomly finding some bits to patch. The end result of doing some wrong with xlive is that it stops working. The integrated functions which handle saving/loading, achievements, in-game menu, etc all cease to work.

Ok, well when i patched it, the game would still crash after changing values in CE

It may not have been xlive. Xlive checks the game CODE not any old memory allocated in DATA, which is why I doubt this. You've picked one hell of a game/concept to start on.

Yeah, well i kinda just wanna bypass xlive, for when im playing

Simple AA script for Cheat Engine v5.6 to bypass the XLive memory tampering check.
Creds to Psych for finding the byte pattern and to Dark Byte for the excellent tool.

Code:

alloc(xLive,4)
aobscan(xLive,8B EC 83 EC 20 53 56 57 8D 45 E0 33 F6 50 FF 75 0C 8B F9)
[ENABLE]

xLive-3:
ret 0c

[DISABLE]

xLive-3:
mov edi,edi
push ebp

Just to note that this in no way aids when actually hacking; IE. it doesn't bypass any xlive anti-debug. Just to be clear on that as countless people have moaned about it 'not working' or just not knowing what it really does.

So will this patch allow you to run hacks on most games that use xlive.dll for protection or is it specifically for a certain game?

I have a hack for Bioshock 2 but again the xlive.dll crashes the game after a few minutes.

**[Psych]** · 02-12-2010, 10:09 AM

Depends on what you're doing. Attaching a debugger will crash it (which this doesn't help with). Altering gamecode can be done and this patch helps in this case; and only in this case. You're on your own for creating the hacks initially. Specifics?

kip8r · 02-12-2010, 06:26 PM

Hi Psych,

Yeah I knew it would crash the debugger. I just have a simple hack for Health and Eve which works for a few minutes then the game crashes because xlive is seeing I changed memory. I was just interested if this hack would stop xlive from crashing the game if it spots modded memory.

Anyway I've pretty much got the code written in my trainer to scan and patch xlive.dll. I'll let you know if it works on the version of xlive.dll with Bioshock 2.

**[Psych]** · 02-12-2010, 06:32 PM

Xlive version is v3.1.99 on Bioshock 2 (it will auto-update to that if it's older on install). It's been out since the end of last year though, so it's not exactly new. Besides my byte pattern has been effective thus far on 'all' previous versions. And yes, this is exactly what this is intended for, stopping the memory integrity checks.
