Part of Project HaloSPV3/HCE#44

The intention is to drive MCC sales.

  • Steam for Windows
  • Steam for Linux (Dropped)
  • Windows Store

Windows Store, Xbox

  1. (sub-optimal solution) On Windows 10, check if the MS-HaloMCC(?) protocol has a registered application. Due to file/folder permissions, we are unable to scan its folder to verify CEA was installed, but this protocol means MCC itself is definitely installed.
  • What is the real protocol?

OR

  1. Ask for permission to invade privacy. Comply to GDPR.
  2. Log in via Xbox Live
  3. Scan Library or Played Games. Pitfall: if we can't detect games they own, but haven't played yet, then...I guess it's not our problem until they complain to us.

Steam

  1. Have the user search for the MCC folder \steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection
  2. In the background, hash some files to verify authenticity (might break if those files are updated, but this can help ensure it was purchased). .\steam_api64.dll is an okay candidate because it changes infrequently.
  3. Infer the path Halo1.dll file steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\halo1\halo1.dll and check if the file exists.
  4. (optional) check the file size. If it's 20-50 MB, then it's probably legit. Hashing will require frequent upkeep, but file size range is more manageable.

OR

  1. Ask for permission to invade privacy. Comply to GDPR.
  2. Log in via Steam's implementation of OpenID,
  3. Scan Library for MCC
  4. Then scan for CEA DLC
