I don't remember that there is an official Compulsive Research on PC/Steam version.
I think I have made that on my mod.

I'm sure there isn't, since I had to code mine as well. And the "fix" is strange anyway: how can a discarded card not be visible to all players? The Discard function makes an automatic GuidedReveal, and the graveyard is visible to all players...

[propel0]

here's my log file from Riiak's Deck Builder, I cleaned up some of the invalid card lookups I could find, but still some remain at the bottom? Will the other errors cause the game to crash? Thanks

[ProdigyToby]

Weird. It seems like any modded deck with unlockable sideboard cards is by default, putting a chunk of them into the deck by default. This makes it very hard to use said decks because without being able to save your customization, your decks will always end up with more than 60 cards at startup. Anyone know how to just lock unlockable cards permanently? Id rather just have locked cards locked than not be able to use the decks.

[Routton]

Has anyone played online versus a friend post-patch?
Everything worked great pre-patch, we had the same mods and all.
Post-patch we can´t get it to work, even with clean mods, with just Rick´s DLL and a random deck.

We get to the lobby and get either "You cannot play against this player at this time" or the "Corrupted or malicious content in deck" error

Last test we did was with signature bypass DLL and Fireminds deckpack.

I haven't been playing against, but I do a lot of 2HG with friends.

Best advice I can give is to make sure you are both using the exact same files. Even if that means one of you downloading it and hosting it on zippyshare or sending it over Skype, or whatever. Even when one of my friends accidentally re-exported a deck without making any changes, the game wouldn't let us play together. Also, make sure you have the same exact decks in the folder. Even if you didn't plan on playing with one, the game won't let you play unless they match up with your partner/opponent perfectly.

I've gotten the "You cannot play against this player at this time" error, and every single time it's because our files are not exactly the same. I'd look into it.

If you are using decks you made using the Deck Builder, make sure your Deck block ID is 2-3 digits (and doesn't interfere with any other IDs). When we used an ID of four digits, it started acting up.

Have same problem. Only decks from viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11066 can be saved without problems.

[MasterXploder7]

not sure if this is the proper topic but this is the closest i can find, anyone know of a way to play offline on steam while running the mods that wouldnt cause complications when reconnecting to steam?

[MC Brodie]

I'm not really sure of what you are asking about. If you question is how can you easily switch between a non-modded version of DotP (to play online public games) and a modded version (to play offline or against other people with mods) then you could do what I do and have two versions of the game. In my Steam\steamapps\common\ folder is my original Magic 2014 folder that downloaded when I bought the game. I haven't added any modded decks or files to this folder. To play/test mods I copy and pasted the Magic 2014 folder in the same directory as the original. In the new Magic 2014 folder I put in any mods I want and the signature bypass file. This way I keep the core game and the modded game separate and I can play either depending on which DotP executable file I open.

Alternatively you could download one of the cracked versions (like the one in sumomole's thread) and use that as your modded DotP version. I don't know if that would work though since I've never tried one of the cracked versions.

If you question is about your steam profile resetting due to playing modded decks then I don't know how to fix that. That happened to me a few times before I even found out about this site so it's not necessarily the mod's fault. I just buy the deck keys for the decks I want do I don't have to worry about unlocking all the cards again. I don't mind paying the money and who knows, maybe they'll use it to add some new features to the game that will open up more card options for the modders.

You don't have to buy keys, there are ways to unlock all of the decks. First make sure you have Rick's DLL in your original version of the game. Then save the original decks WAD (DATA_DECKS_D14 and DATA_DECKS_E14) and create a copies of them. Open the duplicate WADs and in each deck XML edit them to display their steam IDs as fallow; steam_id_1="213850" steam_id_2="213850" (I think this will also make all of your decks foil). After you have done this pack your WADs and open the game. Go through each deck and you will see that the decks are all unlocked and foiled but you wont be able to play online. To fix this simply replace the edited wads with the originals and voilà, all your decks are foiled, unlocked and you can play online again.

i mean if my connection to steam fails it shows the "your game crashed heres the dump manefesto thingy so go report it" message but as long as im connected it is beautiful. no internet no mods is the basic gist

Thanks that's interesting. I didn't know that. I really don't mind paying though.

I don't think I've ever got an error like that. When I play modded decks I'm usually in offline mode anyway. Hopefully someone else can help.

I recommend that you download all your mods again. Test them individually. I was having this same issue and that is how I fixed it, not sure why it happened as everything was fine prior to that.
