I have been working on test copy updating Profit for gu58 and noticed that my mod of the welcome screen is no longer working. Has anyone else experienced this? No changes to this file seem to be reflected in game.

I haven't tried the fix yet but will this weekend or early this week as I am on test a lot. Would be happy to test out anything you need as well just shoot me a pm.

I have had a few posts on the soe forums confirming it now as well. Just thought I'd update the post.

hmm do I since a little hard coding to defeat the hide window hack?

I'd say yes, but my first guess would be: It was unintentional. How convenient

Yes, I noticed this a few days or so ago and have tried all kinds of things to get it to work with the Fetish ui piece I am using, but with no luck. Maybe it is related with the test/testcopy server crashing these past few days..

I just did a test on Test-Copy, I deleted all eq2ui_mainhud_welcome.xml files from both default UI folders and custom UI folders, deleted reference from eq2ui_mainhud.xml and the welcome screen is still displayed at login. I guess now it's hard coded, unable to skin and impossible to disable.

It seems we are only allowed to modify the UI as long as SC is not affected...

Or it could be an exploit, or potential exploit, that they're combatting by forcing the window from the server. Let's give SOE credit for not hating their customers.

I'm amazed at the vitriol they've gotten for this on the official forums.

It is not an exploit. They want the window to open. They removed the option to hide it via the command they established and then they removed the ability to mod it to achieve the same goal. If it was an exploit removing the command would not have happened first.

Yea SC will not effect EQ2Live, We don't have to see it if we chose not to. LOL Guess they scrapped that. The welcome screen it self don't bother its the fact that they are blocking it from being modded.
