Dead Island 2 Uncut Patch

[supex0]

For those unfortunate souls that live in censored areas such as germany, here's an uncut patch, made via patching two bytes of memory.
Feel free to use this and / or all the info in your own tables / trainers, be it unpaid / paid what have you, just give credits where credits are due.

As a cheat table:

Additional info behind PlayerCensorshipTracker

The way censorship is being handled is simple: The main executable file has an RCData-entry with either one of the two GUIDs:

Code: Select all

{E73AE21F-9D45-4EC0-A87B-E43C95AADA74} = censored
{6F25E1B9-A759-40CC-84E9-8BD415305942} = uncensored

When looking at the executable you'll find both GUIDs as strings located directly near the function's literal name: "PlayerCensorshipTracker":


PlayerCensorshipTracker checks the RCData embedded string against both of the fixed strings and sets a boolean in the register RBX (bl to be precise) accordingly.
The code above fixes it so that when the censored version is joining a game, it will force the boolean to false.

In theory, you could easily patch your executable via tools like Resource Hacker to edit the RCData entry to the uncensored string.

How to use this cheat table?

1. Install Cheat Engine
2. Double-click the .CT file in order to open it.
3. Click the PC icon in Cheat Engine in order to select the game process.
4. Keep the list.
5. Activate the trainer options by checking boxes or setting values from 0 to 1

is your epic games account still safe or is it banned?

My account's fine.
Note that there's always a risk when it comes to manipulating games that are underlying certain ToS, be it patching the games' memory (most often used for cheating) or modifying the game in any other way (eg. installing mods).

[Smaug]

Thanks for the share.

It's funny that they have this whole CensorshipController triggered by one static string, hilarious.
Something like:

Code: Select all

CensorshipController::USK_mode_changed_on_server() {
	DisableSplatterOnDeath();
	DisableImpactsOnDeath();
	DisableImpalingOnDeath();
	DisableDismemberedLimbInteraction();
}

Just for convenience, adding the hex equivalent to OPs find:
Search:

Code: Select all

63 00 00 00 00 00 7B 45 37 33 41 45 32 31 46 2D 39 44 34 35 2D 34 45 43 30 2D 41 38 37 42 2D 45 34 33 43 39 35 41 41 44 41 37 34 7D

Replace:

Code: Select all

63 00 00 00 00 00 7B 36 46 32 35 45 31 42 39 2D 41 37 35 39 2D 34 30 43 43 2D 38 34 45 39 2D 38 42 44 34 31 35 33 30 35 39 34 32 7D

The 63 00 00 00 00 00 at the beginning is just to make it unique for the replacement.

Thank you very much, come from Germany and play it, could not believe my eyes when I saw that it is now Uncut thank you very much, so you have 100% more game fun than you already have.

"In theory, you could easily patch your executable via tools like Resource Hacker to edit the RCData entry to the uncensored string."
Yeah it works, i did it that way.

1. Exe mit Resource Hacker öffnen. (\DeadIsland2\DeadIsland\Binaries\Win 64)

2. Ordner RCData Wert auf {6F25E1B9-A759-40CC-84E9-8BD415305942} ändern
{E73AE21F-9D45-4EC0-A87B-E43C95AADA74} = censored
{6F25E1B9-A759-40CC-84E9-8BD415305942} = uncensored

3. Im Resource Hacker auf compile gehen (grüner "Play"-button in der Symbolleiste)

4. Speichern

5. Fertig

6. evtl. Automatische Updates im Epic Launcher deaktivieren für das Spiel

[Smaug]

6. evtl. Automatische Updates im Epic Launcher deaktivieren für das Spiel

Even with auto updates, it does work fine, because Epic doesn't check the files on each launch.
Obviously, when a game update gets released, epic will force it, so you have to update anyway.
If you check local files via epic, it would revert these changes, but why should someone, who modified his binary, ever do that

Same goes for the mentioned hex edit, which does exactly the same as OPs post, just as hex equivalent, because most people have a hex editor installed.

Question: I am from Germany.

This worked perfectly for me.

Will another problem will be auto-solved by this too?:
German players looking for coop players get only other german players. Do those Resource Hacker changes solve this too, so that the matcher will give me the possibility to match session with players beyond Germany?

when you change the GUID string via resource hacker: yes
when you use the Cheat Table: I can't verify, but it appears to be the case, as it forces the uncut state when joining / starting a game.

Great, I used the Resource hacker. So that means, now I am fully equivalent playing like everyone international

I love you guys!
