EOS is in december aan de game toegevoegd 18, 2023; twee maanden na vrijlating.
Invoering
In the December 18, 2023 bijwerken, as was warned in its patch notes, Milestone added Epic Online Services (EOS) to the game in order to add functionality for cross-platform friends parties. But what if you have zero need of that (zoals ik, who’s a lone wolf player)? Goed nieuws: You can disable EOS from the game, and cross-platform multiplayer will still function without issues as it did during the game’s launch period!
How to disable EOS
As a preamble, if EOS was already installed by the game (or any other game), uninstall it first using your means of choice.Browse to the game’s local files and:
-in hotwheels2.ini, change the line NoOperation=0 to NoOperation=1
-in de “Installers” map, rename the following files:
EOSBootstrapper.exe
EOSBootstrapperTool.exe
EpicOnlineServicesInstaller.exe
to something else, like this for example:
EOSBootstrapper.bak
EOSBootstrapperTool.bak
EpicOnlineServicesInstaller.bak
Dat is het!
NOTITIE: You will have to do this on every game update, because Steam game updates also verify a game’s files integrity at the same time.
