Lex your an absolute gem in this community. I can’t thank you enough!!! I played zombies for the first time in a year and more to come. B03 not being safe and on top having to start over and not having all my stuff from my ps4 account made me not wanna play but with this client I can have everything I used to have and more. It’s almost like picking back up where I left off. Big up our front line troop LEX 🙌
How did you get it to run on the deck ? I've been trying to get it to work but i can't. Edit: I get an error saying it needs an internet connection for the first boot up even though I'm connected.
Clarification: The RCE exploit was patched, this means the hackers cannot download stuff on your pc or check your files like before, so in that sense you are now safe, this was fixed because otherwise greedy Activision would've been forced to pull out the game from Steam and since they still sell these titles at full price because they are as greedy as a comic book villain, they only patched it because of that. THIS however doesn't mean it's all over, what Hackers can do is kick you from a game, even if you are solo, and ruin your gaming experience, not only that but apparently they could get your IP, now realistically speaking they will just do this to streamers and youtubers, however if you want to be extra safe this patch is for you!
@@tutiadhd The RCE exploit happened in other games as well and after it was reported to steam, steam was gonna pull away from the store those games, devs fixed it immediately, I suppose the same happened with BO3 and Activision
I followed the tutorial but got an error message when i launched boiii that says it needs an active internet connection to launch it even though i am connected to the internet
Which I find dumb imo He implemented a check for ownership, if you ask me IW4X wasn't shut down because it was a modded client, they were shut down because they not only allowed pirated clients but also gave a torrent file for the game out It's why plutonium removed their torrent link and is talking about adding an ownership check
I downloaded the client put it in the bo3 folder but each time I try to load it up it says I need an active connection even tho I’m connected to the wifi. I even restarted my pc and it still isn’t working. Anyone know why ?
Having issues with running the client. Put the EXE in the BO3 folder, and whenever I run it, it gives me a "BOIII needs an active internet connection for the first time you launch it" error. Any help?

t7 is a patch for common steam server vulnerabilities, boiii are dedicated 3rd party servers. hackers can still find new ways to get thru other steam server vulnerabilities, while itll be harder on the boiii client
Does this client still allow us to play custom zombies maps? If so can you show a tutorial on how to download custom zombies maps with the new changes for boii, if so that would help a lot of people imo

If he's such a gem why is he lying? The T7 community patch works absolutely fine
Wow, the more you know. I still have it installed since I already got the client but, this is great for the wider community to find out. Safety first!
oh hewo :3
Crazy how the community is doing a better job preserving a good game than its own publisher
We can finally see Lex playing with others, without the worry of being hacked!
how do you even join friends
Thanks so much man! I was devastated after the cease and desist because I didn't even get the chance to try out BOIII, I'm so glad I can play it now.
I installed this on my steam deck and I actually love it is sad how the community take care of older cods games instead of Activision taking action
With a windows build?
