Any plans to finally get a re-crypting?

Hahaha, this thread is hillarious. It is great news that there are no plans for re-encrypting this game but to think that the lack of it is the reason the online community is dying, is complete bulldust.

Il-2 is a 10 year old game. It has done well and despite the best efforts of DT and the modding community, it is eventually going to fade out into a small dedicated community (or in our case, a dozen very tiny communities that support a plethora of incompatible subversions and modpacks)

Yes, IL2 is a ten year old game. I am of the mind that says, if a game has been going strong for 10 years and only strengthened as time has passed, it will only continue to do so in the future. Flight Sims are not like other game genres, something better doesn't hit the shelves every two months. The players range a very wide age group, people who started flight sims at age 14 will most likely still have an interest at 54. Unless the successor to CloD is as multi cultured in scope as IL246 is today, I will still be flying IL2 for a while after. I really think history will list IL246 as possibly the greatest combat flight sim ever made, but only time will tell. Even allowing for the fact that the political environment in the community would give the folks up in Washington, DC a run for their money, all in all everyone has the same goal in mind, for people to enjoy the game. That right there is what will keep us together!!!

I think this thread is useless, we will not encrypt, end of the story.
For sure we dont need an "hight risk of flame thread" like this, i saw too much forum war in the past and too much good modellers/modders stopping work on Il2 for this stupid things.

Well... I for myself like to check occationally, how public oppinions have developed over the time... so threads like this one are still interesting to me (if you can read beside the harsh tones).

To be honest those players like myself that quit online play at least partly because of the hacking (in many cases the player was probably already thinking of quitting for other reasons and hacking was the final straw) are unlikely to come back now even if encrypting was reintroduced.

The best post in this thread.................

Good points Kittle,

I completely agree that IL2 still has a lot of potential, and that it is not nothing given the fact it is more than 10 years old!!!

My question is rather to find a way to help Maddox games and TD to develop the game farther, to sum up i cannot say for the other people, but i for one would gladely give money for each patch developped. (even if all these patches are priceless)

In order to avoid any conspiracy theories and speculations surfacing regarding 4.11 patch, the new DT.dll is our technical solution for implementing 6DoF and new AI improvements, it's not used for re-encrypting the game. Period.
