What was the exploit 277 fixed??

[NutGrinder]

All I see "we fixed it", "we fixed it", ... i want to know what "It" was; how it worked.

We were not told on purpose. And there is another thread just like this.

I believe the exploit in question was the ability to duplicate resources on online servers by having multiple people simultaneously demolish a structure, though I've never tried it myself and I'm a tribe of 1 online so I wouldn't be able to test it, either, when the "patch" finishes downloading.

This was fixed back in 2015... I think in July or something. Very old issue.

Not entirely sure about this...

As for the exploit, I know you're all curious however you should know that we're still investigating the extent of this exploit, and what else more is capable. As we understand it, there should not be any cases where it's still achievable, and we fully believe it's entirely taken care. However it'll be put through its paces with extensive testing and logging on the live servers to be sure, and because of this, we are not going to provide any specific details. I know that is a little frustrating, but I hope you can understand our reasoning for doing so.

I could have an idea what the exploit could be, I haven't logged on to test if it in fact is. But as icicleferret believes, it could still be a duplicating exploit (one that can dup ANYTHING), one thats kinda "legit" in the way that its not picked up, hence why it most probably took so long to fix, and why the update is so huge..

Just to be clear, in fear of my account being banned or something ;P, I won't share how it works and I haven't used it on any official servers (only on my own private).. i used it to dup my blueprints to the other maps on my cluster so I don't have to switch it the whole time..

Are you planning on telling anything about it after you are certain its fixed? Or is this one of the things and we just won't ever know?
