Originally, we store the search results in a CMemory instance which we then assign to the actual function pointer. CMemory is just a pointer class; we can assign the results directly to the actual function pointer. This commit reduces a lot of code verbosity, and also reduced roughly 2KiB worth of static pointers in the resulting executable. This commit also officially deprecates the support for any GameDLL's below S3 (Season 3), since it makes more sense to port the assets from earlier/later games back to the version this SDK supports.
Blocking it all together will cause problem when user wants to reset their controller binds. Now we limit execution to 4 per second (default) which doesn't cause problems when resetting any configuration, while also preventing cfg hacks.
This should in theory fix the server and client desync that takes place after multiple hours of uptime without disconnecting or reloading. Note that in this version of the engine the server tick is only send on connect (Titanfall 2 does seem to send it every tick, as this netmsg is also responsible for updating the server percentage on the 'cl_showfps' HUD, which does work as designed). The patched code still writes a 'statistics only' server tick update every tick, but only sends full if the interval time has been reached for that particular client instance.
Enabled by default, and removed playerprofile flag as we want to be able to disable this in the future may it cause problems. All tests done so far (on different hardware) yielded more latency reduction/performance improvements. Also added updated note for convar promo_version_accepted.
These flags only exist in the respawn version of the engine. Renamed 'CNetChan::unknown_challenge_var' to 'CNetChan::m_nRealTimePackets'. This field counts the number of packets sent while the frame time wasn't prescaled with the 'host_timescale' cvar, see r5apex.exe+0x3093C0 (140309FC0).
Utilize the new IDetour::DetourSetup() code, IDetour::Attach and IDetour::Detach have been removed in favor of this (significantly reduces chance of user error). Since the template check happens in the idetour header, it is much more aggressive on type mismatches, such as a difference in parameter types, between the function and detour, will now raise a compile time error. As a result, some type mismatches have been fixed in this commit as well.
There have been reports of hit registration issues, this is most likely caused by the clamping system to mitigate an exploit. Put behind a convar and disabled for now until debugged.
Display the error to the user without having to open the developer console or terminal window. This patch also adds printing to COM_ExplainDisconnection (which has been stripped out of the retail binary).
Display the EULA (fetched from masterserver), which the end user MUST accept before they can make use of the multiplayer features of R5Reloaded. NOTE: user doesn't need to agree to this to use the listenserver.
The game internally obtains a auth token from Origin. On connect to a gameserver, it will send it to the masterserver. The master server will create a JWT token and send this back to the client. The client stores this token in 3 userinfo cvars (token, sig1, sig2). the sig1 and sig2 cvars are there to compensate for the truncation caused by sending the cvar, as each cvar string length could be up to 255 (byte max). The server verifies this token (the signature, timestamp, expiry); if they are valid, the has successfully authenticated and will connect.
Make pak code more consistent.
* Added 'Pak_CloseFile' to SDK.
* Added partial rebuild of 'Pak_ProcessPakFile' to SDK.
* Added compile time assert for 'PakFileHeader_t' structure.
Some parts of the engine have to be rebuild in order to implement this correctly, therefore, it has been removed for now to avoid potential performance problems.
fps_max_rt and fps_max_gfx have been limited to 295 to avoid a contest with the engine's hard limit causing huge performance hits.
Propagated latency markers in an attempt to further reduce input latency. Code is pending rigorous testing on several systems, including systems powered by an AMD GPU to make sure we are not impacting performance on systems that does NOT support NVIDIA Reflex.
Limits frames at a much higher level of precision than 'fps_max' and 'fps_max_gfx', probably ideal to reduce input latency even more. Also changed the logic of the NVIDIA Reflex frame limiter, to which it would use the desktop's refresh rate if set to '-1'. The new render thread frame limiter has a similar behavior. Using desktop refresh rates on the render thread or NVIDIA Reflex frame limiter requires 'fps_max' to be set to 0 (unlimited), as it would otherwise result in a major performance drop due to a contest if fps_max_(gfx/rt) is set to a similar number as fps_max.
The server can exploit the client with these netmessages, therefore, sv_cheats shouldn't be used to toggle it. Create a cvar that the server and client have to enable individually to enable the system.
Use CUtlVector, and remove every copy caused by passing vectors by value. CUtlVector does not support copying. Also removed all extraneous std::string copies caused by calling itoa instead of std::to_string, or std::stoll, etc. All features have been tested and work as designed.
