Release Article

This I consider to be my first "true" release. I've had a few builds before this that I've shared around, but this build really started it all. The infamous Fallout 76 hacker known as "Erect Ban" was the one who brought my attention to the existence of this build when he released the video shown below.

The description cited an accidental push to steam as the source of the files, but noted that the manifest was taken down, and that he would not be providing these files to anyone. Some time later, he shared a modified, non-functional version of the .exe for reverse engineering purposes on UnknownCheats. This is where my search began, and eventually I managed to track down a community member who had the original file archived. I paired this with the still-available game content downloaded from Steam, and released it on archive.org.

In addition to releasing the full game files, I provided the Havok Visual Debugger, which can be freely obtained through Unity, but works fully standalone and providing it here prevents the need to download the whole engine just for one smal tool.

A few months after release, I noticed some debug logs refering to the Deja Insight profiler.

Deja Insight is a tool from a now-defunct company, but as luck would have it, an older version was included in the GTA V source code leak. I was able to both crack the license check, and make it ignore the protocol version difference, and it now happily connects to the game.

Also on a tangentially related note, the guy who first brought my attention to this build with his video is the very same one who used his cheats to kill the entire Nuclear Winter lobby I was in which I recorded and uploaded back in 2019.
