(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Therefore making hosting online possible again without any struggles. This is slightly old news, maybe a couple weeks late to a thread, but just as a heads up, you can force host again in a place like TDM and get people to fill the lobby very quickly. Hooray.

Seriously-- who set that up knowing that was going to work? I need to take notes from these guys.

Go through the PDB in IDA. Most of these things if not all were done with DVars, not native code injection... If we were injecting native code into the servers we would be doing alot more than slow lobbies. The whole reason it works is because a host migration migrates game settings, but the dvars are initialized at game boot, so they are never reset. Many of them have been fixed since MW2, but obviously not all of them or this wouldnt happen.
The lag lobbies were just setting the speed variable much higher, which when you moved triggered the movement speed cap and the 'server' client rejected your movement request.

I would assume it is modifying the default player clipping dimensions. setting it to a 1x1 makes things glitch the hell out.
It could also be another random setting somewhere. Im sure its not too hard to find.

It's just strange that this was possible, but I've never seen other theater mode mods

Thats not a theater mode mod. Wrong video or you are just talking about a glitch. The theater mode simply sets the game settings rules to match the setup so he didnt have to explain it for people. The multiteam spawns are broken as hell and probs dont get patched because there arent any public lobby modes for it (i think).

By theater I mean, custom game mode

I noticed the lobbies filling instantly a couple weeks ago, i figured my internet got better or something

This is good news.

Are dedicated servers back because im having problems with getting lobbies again
