Bug description

Luxtorpeda is adding the mod https://github.com/alexstrout/foxWSFix-UT2k4 to the game. This is causing issues when playing multiplayer as anticheat on servers check the game files and kick you if it detects the mod.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install the game with Luxtorpeda
2. Start the game
3. Join a server with anticheat
4. Get Kicked

Expected Behavior

You shouldn't be kicked from the server.

Additional Context

Maybe add an option to disable adding this mod.

@TheGreatestJannet Thanks for the issue.

The foxWSFix mod is added by doing the following

sed -i "s/InputClass=Class'Engine.PlayerInput'/InputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'/" linuxdata/System/User.ini
echo -e "\n\n[XGame.xPlayer]\nInputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'" >> linuxdata/System/User.ini

If you reverse that in the User.ini file (meaning that you set inputclass back to Engine.PlayerInput and remove the inputclass new line), is that enough to make that server work again?

[TheGreatestJannet]

Yes I removed the mod by reverting the changes in User.ini and deleting the mod files and the server stopped kicking me.

[d10sfan]

@TheGreatestJannet Did you need to delete the mod files, or was just changing the User.ini file enough?

[TheGreatestJannet]

I reverted the changes in User.ini but I was still getting kicked. Completely deleting the files stopped that. I'm not sure why as changing User.ini apparently should be enough to stop it loading.

[d10sfan]

@TheGreatestJannet Ah ok, thanks for the information. I'll see what I may be able to do to have options for it.

Unreal Tournament 99 also has a similar third party anti-cheat technology used by servers and might have a similar issue with compatibility depending on what tweaks Luxtorpeda adds to the game.

Might be something to look into.

[d10sfan]

Ut99 does not have any tweaks added onto it, other than using the latest 469 patch so it should not be affected but thanks for the reminder.

I added this in https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/packages/commit/126d0a5c79f22f7131786df8d9c15f6e41d82b77

Now when you launch the game, it'll use the engine chooser for with or without foxWSFix. This creates a linuxdata-standard folder for the one without the mod. When launching between each one, it will change the user.ini file in the user directory, to make sure the mod is either enabled or disabled.

Let me know if you run into any issues. I was able to use this to launch and join a mp server, and then go back and use the mod offline.

Thanks for adding this so quickly!
