[TUTORIAL] Online Fix for after 31/12 !

[76561199046541026]

As Gun Media closed the game backend we made a Online Fix patch to keep the game playable online.

Please note that this online fix is not supported/endorsed by Gun Media and is unofficial.

The installation is very simple.

0) Download lastest version of the patch *:
-> archive(dot)org/details/f13-onlinefix
-> replace (dot) with .
1) Make sure F13 Game is up to date with Steam and the game is closed
2) Extract F13Game folder to your steam content folder
(by default : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common)
3) Click "Yes" to replace existing files
(make sure it asked to replace files, if not you putted it to wrong place !)
4) DONE ! Enjoy again F13 online with your friends.

* click only on "RAR download", if you don't have tool to extract the archive, i suggest the free one 7zip. Files are safe and got analysed by lot of people around here.
However, because of the missing digital signatures from files, Windows Defender (only on Windows 11) can treat it as a false positive. Any other antivirus will confirm that files are 100% safe. If you have any doubts, feel free to test the files on any online AV.

If I'm getting the 'databse login failure' error after doing the new patching, am I out of luck?

No, it's probably just patched incorrectly. Validate your game's files and re-patch.

Ended up moving everything manually and finally got it working. Thanks for the help!

What do you think about the achievements? Have they started working?

i am unable to create parties as it loads forever with the spinning red circle saying "Creating Party", i had this issue even prior to the shutdown/patch and I can't seem to find any solution to this problem, and the people I have asked about it don't seem to be having this problem? If anyone knows anything i'd appreciate it

Do on steam "verify game files" then re-apply the patch.
It should works after that.
To do that verify game files, checkout the tutorial video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1eRaIP_i0U

Contrary to CFG or others fix (PS4/PS5) who need a server to works (that server can shutdown at any moment sadly) here this fix not need anything to runs.

The funny fact is at the moment the fix for PS4/PS5 is down because the server who handle it is already down xD. On PC it works fine as no server needed. Just not enough people are aware a fix exist sadly.

I think it's back up mate. I've been watching a ton of different streamers live streaming the PS4/PS5 versions, but I haven't seen anyone streaming or discussing the PC version. So people know there is a fix out available because they all mention it briefly, but no one is really saying much about it.

So my guess would be is that most are either waiting for it's authenticity to be confirmed by a reliable source as safe and/or testing it out for themselves.

Does this fix unlock everything in actual offline mode as well too if someone doesn't have internet or do you have to be logged in to steam in order for the unlocks to take? I was curious about that aspect of it also. Thanks for the help mate.

[Halloween]

Yes the PS4/PS5 fix works again since few days.

FWIW, I've played online using this patch. It works. The lobbies are a bit ♥♥♥♥, so you'll probably have to round up some friends to play with, but it works.

As for the offline question, I've never tried it w/o Steam, sorry.

Use a lobby searcher or play private matches if you don't want play there.

can you do better??

[AshTray900]

so this time i went in to the archive i was no longer getting virus warnings etc. this worked well. question though, is it using a backend at all.

i noticed when i went to join a lobby my character just dumped in to a session half way over, of course this could be the age old modded lobby.

Curiosity here, lets just say 20 years from now, steam is still going and running like steam always does and this game is compatible with the OS at the time. can it still link to others or is there another thing behind the scene that is propping this up on crutches?

ps4/ps5 fixes only work as long as the alternate DNS is running and a private backend up in some form, what about this fix?
