-------------------------------------------
HOW TO JOIN FRIENDS TUTORIAL (without a server):
1. Port forward 27017 (UDP) on your router settings and to your device (look up your router model name and google how to port forward).
2. Create an inbound Windows Firewall rule to permit UDP traffic on port 27017.
3. Now you should be able to HOST a game so get people to join your Radmin Network and get your friends to type /connect "your VPN IP":27017 in the console when you load a zombies map and it'll work! :)

[@Enderlet]

this is huge Lex, thanks for providing the community with a guide for this. We appreciate it.

[@greatwar4916]

Lex your an absolute gem in this community. I can’t thank you enough!!! I played zombies for the first time in a year and more to come. B03 not being safe and on top having to start over and not having all my stuff from my ps4 account made me not wanna play but with this client I can have everything I used to have and more. It’s almost like picking back up where I left off. Big up our front line troop LEX 🙌

[@Jasonhoods]

If he's such a gem why is he lying? The T7 community patch works absolutely fine

[@tahamohyuddin8793]

Thanks so much man! I was devastated after the cease and desist because I didn't even get the chance to try out BOIII, I'm so glad I can play it now.

[@FPSpsychoYT]

Wow, the more you know. I still have it installed since I already got the client but, this is great for the wider community to find out. Safety first!

[@Therealnotanifox]

oh hewo :3

thank you so much man nobody has provided a guide or a link to download the exe since this happened im sharing this with everyone

You need to add the bo3 client as a non steam game

Then use ge proton

BOIII was never given a cease and desist. Momo shut down the client preemptively due to the shutdown of XLabs.

Which I find dumb imo He implemented a check for ownership, if you ask me IW4X wasn't shut down because it was a modded client, they were shut down because they not only allowed pirated clients but also gave a torrent file for the game out It's why plutonium removed their torrent link and is talking about adding an ownership check

[@user-ls9en9dz2s]

what does it mean to need an active internet connection the first time launching

[@DirtyDeedsDoneDirtCheapD4C]

Clarification: The RCE exploit was patched, this means the hackers cannot download stuff on your pc or check your files like before, so in that sense you are now safe, this was fixed because otherwise greedy Activision would've been forced to pull out the game from Steam and since they still sell these titles at full price because they are as greedy as a comic book villain, they only patched it because of that. THIS however doesn't mean it's all over, what Hackers can do is kick you from a game, even if you are solo, and ruin your gaming experience, not only that but apparently they could get your IP, now realistically speaking they will just do this to streamers and youtubers, however if you want to be extra safe this patch is for you!

[@DirtyDeedsDoneDirtCheapD4C]

@@sausagetuti The RCE exploit happened in other games as well and after it was reported to steam, steam was gonna pull away from the store those games, devs fixed it immediately, I suppose the same happened with BO3 and Activision

[@jacobfeet4870]

Does this client still allow us to play custom zombies maps? If so can you show a tutorial on how to download custom zombies maps with the new changes for boii, if so that would help a lot of people imo

[@necrologizt]

I followed the tutorial but got an error message when i launched boiii that says it needs an active internet connection to launch it even though i am connected to the internet
