Yo xboi,

I tried putting this in my chaoslauncher folder and got the following system error;

The application cannot be launched, because MSVCR120.dll is missing on the computer. Reinstall the application to correct the problem.


press OK (no other option)

get another Exception popup saying

Could not load plugin (filepath)
Error: The listed module could not be found (126)

(press OK)

then another Exception

Access violation at address 004BAF00 in module 'chaoslauncher.exe'

Class: EAccessViolation



Should I be adding this plugin somewhere else, and how do I get chaoslauncher to find it in that case?

Is having your cd-key being stolen a problem these days? I haven't played in a while so I'm not sure where the context for this comes from.

It's a problem if you piss off the wrong people.

Since its a .bwl plugin we can presumably use it with chaoslauncher like other plugins right?

Yes, it's meant to be used in a launcher that supports bwl plugins.

Just register in Battle.net

What good will that do? Your CD Key will still be broadcasted to other players without this plugin.

This plugin should prevent your CD-Key from being stolen.


got source code we can look at?

https://github.com/xboi209/CD-Key-Protector


Piss off the wrong people? Who has access to everyones cd keys? Hackers? ICCup admins? I'm kinda curious like other poster said, is this mostly an issue on east? If your cdkey is in your bnet account and it gets stolen, you can simply call bnet and they will fix that for you i'm sure.

Anyone that has been in the same game lobby as you can potentially retrieve your cd key so it doesn't matter what server you are on. You can go ahead and call Blizzard if your key is stolen, they'll probably just replace your key but that what will stop that new key from being stolen again?


I mean I played BW for about 15 years and i've never once had my cdkey stolen once lol, never even heard of it happening, has it happened to you? Anyone?

As I've said, it's usually if you piss off the wrong people. It doesn't matter how widespread the problem is, this plugin is about prevention instead of waiting until it's too late.


Right, who are the wrong people ? You ? iCCup admins? I've never had this happen and NEVER heard of this happening, and I've never heard of anyone stealing peoples cdkeys just from joining a game, so I don't understand who the " Wrong people " would be now adays, except you and or iccup admins, since this is an unknown issue lol

The people who know how to steal cd keys. It doesn't matter if you're aware of this or not, what matters is that it's possible.


I undestand this is a good program , but when in the history of BW has CDkey theft ever been an issue?

I have no idea when it was first discovered or abused. I'm sure if you try hard enough, you can find posts relating to this on Google if you're interested.

I was under the impression CD key brute forcing is near impossible if you have a registered, 24character digital key from battle.net.

For those who doubt, yes an ordinary CD key is definitely possible to hash if you are in the same lobby as a person who has the correct tools. It's not immediate but it's doable.

I'm not sure how long it would take to brute force it, it definitely should be longer than the 13 digit keys though.
