Y2K20 problem fix

[iceblade112]

The problem lies in MasterServer because Ntreev did this stupid thing where they made 2020 the "expiration date" boundary.

To fix this, open up MasterServer in a disassembler/debugger like x32dbg or OllyDBG and go to the following addresses:

0x4ED246: cmp edx, 7E4h
0x4E761E: cmp ecx, 7E4h

If you look at it, it'll probably be quite obvious. Change 2020 (0x7E4) in the instructions there to something else, like 2035 (0x7F3).

0x4ED246: cmp edx, 7F3h
0x4E761E: cmp ecx, 7F3h

Problem solved. Have fun!

This sounds like a silly question, but is there a way to "save" these changes? I'm using OllyDbg and from the looks of things, it seems I have to modify the instructions every time I reboot Master Server.

Yeah, you have to patch the EXE.

i used x96dbg opened it then patched the file after editing it to save the .exe
