ials96 BO2 1.3.10 - Crossplay Fixes & Lobby Spoof (Public Beta)

ials96 BO2 1.3.10 - Crossplay Fixes & Lobby Spoof (Public Beta)

What's new

• Added Lobby Spoof 1.11 to the main program, using the verified Lobby Spoofer 1.0.2 tool. Send debug from the main program after selecting PS4 or PS5, host the supported BO2 Multiplayer LAN lobby, then open Spoof and use Connect. Send and Restore remain manual.
• Added an optional Discord reminder on the first Spoof opening in each program session. Returning to Spoof does not repeat it. Join Discord opens the support community; Continue to Spoof works immediately without joining or signing in. Closing the entire program resets the reminder.
• Added a signed remote on/off setting for that reminder only. Missing or offline settings cannot lock the Spoof feature.

Crossplay and reliability

• Improved Microsoft process verification: blocked Windows verification APIs are distinguished from an actual change of game identity, while package, image, signature and process-lifetime checks remain enforced.
• Improved dependency checks for missing, unreadable or incompatible files. Official Windows x64 Wireshark remains required by the existing Steam and Microsoft components.
• Improved startup, configuration, local engine-channel and cleanup error classification. Safe technical reasons and numeric Windows codes are retained when available; unknown game identities are no longer replaced with assumed Steam hashes.
• Improved graceful tool closing. Missing or disabled windows, Windows access denial and unfinished cleanup have separate reasons. The program does not force-close a tool while restoration is uncertain.
• Fixed the player-protection switch losing its original ON/OFF action when the native label changes.
• Made optional Steam transport diagnostic-file writes nonfatal to an otherwise healthy bridge.
• Fixed Retry being requested before the previous operation finished clearing its busy state.
• Added bounded retries for transient update-feed failures. Offline tools remain available when update checks fail.
• Made report IDs independent of the Windows calendar and improved correlation of related failures.
• Improved allocation/helper and Windows Security block guidance without disabling protection or repeating uncertain account commands.

Preserved
All existing Crossplay pages and features remain available: RTM, Clan Rules, Names, Picture Names, Assets, GSC Inject, Activity, Live Monitor, Settings, Banned Players and Credits & Licenses. Existing player queues and progress feedback are retained. Automatic sanitized Beta reports retain the first-use choice and Diagnostics off switch.

Installation
First-time users: download the Standalone ZIP, extract everything, and open ials96 BO2.exe. Keep both bundled module files beside the program. Existing users can use the signed in-app update.
For PC Crossplay, open the intended Steam or Microsoft Multiplayer game in Custom Games first. Microsoft requires its verified Companion; Steam does not. Disconnect and reopen Crossplay when switching editions.
For guests outside your home, follow Router Hosting Note.txt. UDP 3077 forwarding must point to the host PC; double NAT and CGNAT require separate network handling.

Beta limits
Offline regression tests, package verification and update-migration checks do not certify every PC or prove that every reported customer failure is fixed. Full Steam-to-PlayStation match loading remains unresolved; keep recovery guests in Custom Games without starting a match.
Lobby Spoofer 1.0.2 is a temporary lobby-only spoof for its verified modified CUSA57548 v1.10 profile. It is not a game update and does not establish cross-version match support.
Original component credits, license notices and provenance records are retained. See RELEASE-STATUS.txt and TESTING-NOTES.txt.
