Does outspark never learn?

I also find it very funny that they have brought X-trap back... like they did not learn from their last mistake

. Does not seem to be causing my computer as much harm this time around, but I know at least some ppl are experiencing problems. This won't stop bots even in the slightest however, so what does it actually do? Steels processor time and memory space from you computer.

X-crap is back.

Prolly cuz of the hacks lately. Hoping maybe X-trap could help.

Yep, pretty much has hosed up our access via the 2nd in the kids room. That PC has NO hack stuff. Hell, we have no hack understanding, we are so (wait for the sarcasm here good with computer operations that anytime something is not right our ONLY option is re-log and hope it clears up.

If it does, YAY! If not then we are just hosed.

So, yeah, for the 2nd PC in this house x-trap = hosed and that means when my grandkids are here on the weekend they will NOT be able to play Fiesta at all (umm . . . no suggestions that I let them play on my PC coz that ain'ta gonna happen. I put a PC in their room to get them off of my PC.)

So that's what the patch was about. I play BK and it has XTrap but it causes me no problem at all and I don't think it causes any problem with Fiesta either. That being said, if XTrap isn't getting rid of botters and only actual players I see no reason for it be coming back.

In short for the answer to the thread...

No.

Actually, yes it does cause problems with Fiesta. I know this for a fact. It has stopped the PC my grandkids use and that PC never had problems launching Fiesta before that last time x-trap was implemented and that cleared up when they removed it - they redeployed it and that PC will no longer launch Fiesta.

It does NOT affect the ability of the PC in my den to access Fiesta and it may not affect the ability of your PC to access Fiesta, but it absolutely does affect the ability of some PC's to access Fiesta.

I meant with my Fiesta, I know it causes problems with other PCs. I wonder if it has something to do with the operating systems people use?

@Hyper: Probably best not to write down an actual name. We all know who it is but still. ;P

I don't think the version of OS is the issue because the PC I have that will no longer run Fiesta is an XP and that was the latest prior to Vista and I'm pretty sure everyone left playing are not all Vista users.

There is something about my XP PC that x-trap does not like and no one in Outspark tech support was able to resolve it last time. I will however open a new trouble ticket with them on the issue as soon as I get a chance and see what they say this time (not only that, they need a flood of trouble tickets to see the full impact of re-deploying x-trap).

Just throwing in possibilities. I had no problem with it using XP and currently Vista. It's possible that some people's computers have some sort of "bot" from visiting certain sites (not necessarily bad ones). Perhaps doing a spy-ware check and/or anti-virus scan? I use CCleaner and it helps to deleted unwanted cookies as well as registry keys that is no longer used.

I just visited the official forums to see what it's like... just like last time when they implemented XTrap there's several hate threads about it. :P They really don't learn now do they?

man... they need to find an alternate solution instead of retrying something old and decrepit like xtrap >.>
