Well, I noticed there was a lack of security for the closed beta, so I went ahead and decided to make some modifications to some of your files, which then allowed me to run Fiesta.bin as Fiesta.exe and attach memory editors, WPE (such a horride program, but it works...), Olly, etc., and do all kinds of nasty things.
I talked to [GM]Haimi about it and he/she said to post here about it. Basically I just wanted to know what the devs plan on doing about this in the future (I know this is only closed beta, but it never hurts to ask). None of the files are compressed (which is why the installation is so freaking huge) (sound files alone in a 7Z format (yes I used the one that came with the setup) are 280MB, roughly), the exe isn't encrypted (this was expected), X-Trap isn't functional (didn't expect this o.o), and I can modify any file I want without the launcher asking for an update, without modifying the launcher at all (Ruby is a fun language, though I don't know much about it).
I enjoy the game, and I want to see it be successful, but with the security being this flawed, even for an closed beta, there are problems that will occur. (Don't mean to sound rude, I understand it is only CB, and that's what these types of things are for.)
I hope that didn't sound too confusing...sorry. Anyway, I'm off to play Fiesta. Take care. (btw, it would be nice if my account was invited so I could play legit)
