UH OHH!
 
[url:fefdb]http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3903[/url:fefdb][quote:fefdb]Well, what a wonderful few days it has been. Since EA didn't take the time to respond (or maybe even read) our emails about various stats-server security holes, it clearly showed us how much they care. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that modifying 5 million accounts wouldn't be that big of a deal.

That being said, accounts with ids from 40,000,000 to 45,000,000 now have all of their weapons unlocked.

What will be next week? Perhaps we'll give everyone their Distinguished Service Medal, or maybe we'll elevate everyone to the rank of Sergeant Major.

The ball's in your court, EA. Time's up at the buzzer, how well will you play?[/quote:fefdb] All of my guns are unlocked, anyone else?

Woah now hold on there, I was playing today after I'd recently gotten Lance Corporal and I thought I'd only have 1 weapon unlocked but I was trying them all out in MP, was great!

So this is the reason why eh ed:

In the future, if you really are concerned about "exposing security holes" to EA (which I sincerely doubt) rather than grandstanding, please e-mail me personally since it appears that you don't have the correct contact info. I will PM you the address.

All of the changes made will be rolled back in the next couple hours. Users may have to rechoose any unlocks they would have legitimately made in the last day or so as a result of the roll-back, but no stats should be lost.

Miscguy 07-25-2005 10:32 PM

Hopefully i get to repick my unlock, since im one of the 5 someodd mill unlocked.

wintersforge 07-26-2005 05:32 AM

mine was unlocked so i whored the dao-12 all night. brutal gun in CQC....

dr nein 07-26-2005 05:34 AM

I don't have any regrets with my unlocks (PKM and DAO-12) but for people who picked something like the Jackhammer or G3 that would be nice. They can't just let us reset them on our own, no. Allah forbid something that makes sense happening.

Did you notice that all the weapons in Battlefield 2 that you haven't earned were unlocked? EA have updated their site explaining this problem, as well as announcing a solution.

Many users logged into Battlefield 2 today to discover that they had access to all of the game's weapons unlocked in their profile. We have fixed the root issue that caused this to occur and by tomorrow morning all users will return to having access only to the weapons which they had earned. Once our solution is in place, if you find that you do not have access to weapons appropriate to your in-game rank, please direct inquiries to the Support sites linked below. In some cases users may be prompted to re-select the Unlock weapons that they are eligible for (if you are eligible for two weapons you will get to choose the two you wish to have unlocked).


Update 1:
Is appears the vast majority of users are having problems logging into their BF2 account. We can only assume this is a side-effect of EA applying the fix explained above.
We will update this post as more information comes to light.

Mine are all gone now so I assume they reset them. Haven't had a chance to go back to BFHQ yet.

dr nein 07-26-2005 01:22 PM

True dat. But that sort of shit is to be expected with a MMORPG, really.

This is supposed to be a FPS ffs.

Nyck 07-26-2005 05:48 PM

its a security flaw in the way the accounts are managed/validated/authenticated etc etc etc. they should have had a hat hack internally during QA process to see if there were any issues. i dont blame the hackers for this at all. If you leave a door open and unlocked its your own damn fault if you get robbed. I have no visibility into EA/Dice's QA dept/ bug control etc but it sure seems they have let a ton of stuff slip by....

Stammer 07-27-2005 11:07 AM

Plus these guys are White Hat hackers, they didn't do anything malicious to the server or peoples accounts. Trust me they could have done ALOT worse.

dr nein 07-27-2005 11:43 AM

Well no shit, they could have easily deleted the accounts themselves. But of course these are very bad people, to say otherwise would imply that dice/ea are lazy, greedy people and we know that can't be the case.

Milla 07-27-2005 12:00 PM

Is the stats tracking working today or is it still fucked?

dr nein 07-27-2005 12:19 PM

It's always fucked in some way but it worked yesterday.

Milla 07-27-2005 12:20 PM

NEINT! i got a sniper badge and parachute badge again and it didnt log it.

dr nein 07-27-2005 12:41 PM
