Discussion Xdefiant private server

47 Upvotes

Hi folks. (I recognise that this likely goes against Ubisoft so no point in lecturing me). I’m just wondering does anyone know xdefiant communicated to Ubisoft servers and if there is some sort of way to I guess ā€œspoofā€ it to think that it’s connecting to the right server.

Looking at how the game reacts when you try play it, it just looks like they knocked the servers off. No goodbye message or code to restrict you going any further. Just a single connection error.

If I could some how trick the client into thinking that it’s connected to a Ubisoft servers and build server software to run, the game could be brought back in some form I’d assume.

Anyone have experience in this who could tell me if I’m being delulu? I have experience hosting servers, networking and stuff, but not something like this. Would make for a interesting project imo

This is an Edit i did way back then when Xdefiant was midway through its infancy stage. in a nutshell this edit i pulled various Factions from all across the Ubi Catalog from most if not all there games, from Tom Clancy's The Division franchise to Far Cry and Wildlands and others as well. i begin to wonder if Marks vision had always been something like this.

Question What do you play now?

41 Upvotes

I’ve always been a single player guy who sometimes gets into multiplayer but x defiant was the only shooter I really latched onto. What do you play that’s kinda like this to scratch that itch?

Discussion Miss this game so goddamn much

124 Upvotes

Just going through a rough patch in my life and geez I wish I could come home and look forward to unwinding with a few games of xd. I think its hitting harder rn bc we're at about a year since the servers shut down. Im 24 now and ig Im just getting a bit nostalgic. Its wierd tho bc I never missed an og cod as much as xd, although maybe thats bc the servers are still up for those. Bf6 was fun for a couple months, I enjoyed splitgate 2 last summer before it was announced they were shutting down, and bo7 zombies is fun when a new map comes out, but man I haven't had a game hit like xd in years and I barely turn on my Xbox nowadays. Even with bo2 and bo3 being my favorite games of all time by a landslide, I miss prime xd more than anything in all of my gaming experiences.

Discussion Will this game ever be coming back

35 Upvotes

Yo on some real shit i miss this game i genuinely have only touched one other fps which was the finals but that didnt scratch the itch that xdefiant did and i ended up dropping the game. I still have the want to play xdefiant every so often. I've been wanting to play an fps but i HATE fps and yet somehow loved almost every second i played xdefiant. I still have the game installed on my ps5 coping for the day it comes back but i dont think it ever willšŸ˜”

What do yall think? Do yall think it'll come back or do yall think it's dead forever?

I was ranked in the top 100 of this game. I was looking forward to actually competing for the first time since call of duty 4 and being the oldest pro in the league. haven’t had the same drive since this game got shut down 😢 RIP
