[Bug]: Anti kick module always loaded even if i exclude it in loader.cs

[cmmaio]

What happened?

some modded lobbies wont let you join if antikick module is injected even if its off
excluding it in loader.cs file only turns it off but it still gets injected ingame

Can we confirm whether it is actually the AntiKick patch? Try deleting this file and see if it still blocks you https://github.com/winstxnhdw/lc-hax/blob/main/lc-hax/Scripts/Patches/AntiKickPatch.cs.

After enabling anti-kick, it seems that rooms with mods like kick mod installed can still kick us out.

Do you know which mod it is?

I can find several related mods, but I'm not sure which one it is.

It's weird that they can kick you considering our names shouldn't even appear on their menu..

Based on listening to their voice, they can kick us out even if our names are displayed as "Unknown" or "Nameless" or if we imitate other people's names.

They seem to be able to see our names through the mod.

Hmm..

I am wondering if we can just patch out this entire section and then spoof our Steam ID. What do you think @armorfid?

if (!GameNetworkManager.Instance.disableSteam && GameNetworkManager.Instance.currentLobby != null)
{
    if (!GameNetworkManager.Instance.steamIdsInLobby.Contains(newPlayerSteamId))
    {
	    NetworkManager.Singleton.DisconnectClient(this.actualClientId);
	    return;
    }
    if (StartOfRound.Instance.KickedClientIds.Contains(newPlayerSteamId))
    {
	    NetworkManager.Singleton.DisconnectClient(this.actualClientId);
	    return;
    }
}

I don't even have to do that. Just patch out DisconnectClient instead..

I managed to spoof my Steam ID, yes I become unkickable but the game becomes basically unplayable. You play as the host's body, and you can no longer see the host. Your original character just stands still for the rest of the match. When the round is over, your ship never leaves. When the host disconnects, you still stay in the game.

deleted the cs files from patches and modules and disabled it from Loader.cs rebuilt it but still see the Anti Kick: Off in the lobby and prevents me from joining

That chunk of code is server-side, it won't do anything if you patch it client-side, same with DisconnectClient

To be confirmed, but I think the anti-kick only actually works if you were the last player to join the lobby. All it does is prevent the game from putting you in the Esc menu player list as long as nobody joins after you, since AddUserToPlayerList is called from SendNewPlayerValuesClientRpc. If someone else joins, they will invoke the RPC and the whole player list will refresh. You will probably start showing up on there and can now get kicked.

The mods @tslpy1 mentioned will kick players directly using their Unity client ID from allPlayerScripts even if they don't show up in the Esc menu.

What's the error message? Is it "An error occurred", or something else?

The Anti Kick Off label you see actually has nothing to do with the Anti Kick patch so it's not Anti Kick that is blocking you from joining. It's something else.
