Popular Post Benca27 Posted November 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi, you might remember me from Starhawk, I am Benca27! I’m currently doing a petition to show THALhammer from the PSONE Team that there is still interest in the game so that he may consider Developing working servers again! He already has got Warhawk up and running online and it has an active playerbase currently. Their website is here: https://www.psone.online/home | The petition here: https://www.change.org/p/bring-back-the-starhawk-multiplayer | PSONE Discord: https://discord.gg/cu44QQrnZd He recently did an AMA on Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/m4bbhb/comment/gqtp9n4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 explaining how he got the Warhawk servers working again, and can do it for Starhawk if there is enough support for it! If you could please sign and share that would mean a lot to our community to get together on the game again! Thank you! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowxSakura Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Although if it is like warhawk, it won't be allowed to earn trophies on it since warhawk isn't open source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually working on getting the Warhawk platinum currently with friends I met from both games over 10+ years ago. Though the gentleman that is making it work does frown upon boosting, I don't personally support it either. This project is about getting the game to a working and playable state again, trophies or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CRT have repeatedly claimed in the past that open source servers are allowed (CRT will review and make sure no changes to trophy earning are applied). You're more than free to earn the trophies, but don't be surprised when you get removed from the leaderboards if you use servers that aren't approved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the info, I was missinformed and apologies If this topic is unwelcomed here. I'm assuming this applies to other games too just like the ones restored through GoneSpy as mentioned above? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the site's rules I will not use the service, unless it's open source but that doesn't mean it's not a great addition. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would just love to play the game, hell, I might boot it up on an alt account. Restoring game servers or even game preservation is a great cause, so you got my signature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic is more than welcome here, just not the implication or statement that trophies are allowed here. Any trophies earned on a custom server before approval by the Cheater Removers following their rules for custom servers or earned on an unapproved server will be flagged and accounts will be flagged and removed from the leaderboard until the trophies are hidden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The responsible gives permaban on whoever is caught boosting, so be warned in case you want Warhawk platinum. Boosting is considered an illegitimate way to play and ruin other players game Sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, due to privacy concerns, the service will not be Open Source. From their PSONE Discord FAQs and I Quote: "Are you open source? No, we will never open source our code. Server codes in an untrusty hands, can lead to your personal information leaked. -Client IP Address during a connection -User ingame name -User region/language at a country basis -Unique Console ID (PSID) -User ingame data (Messages, clans, etc.)" So it looks under these means, trophies will indeed be unattainable through this program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. You will still be flagged on this website, but trophies can and will be earned through a viable working server for the game(s).

I'm sure you can see the irony there. I do see it, but in this case I plead I am merely the messenger. This is a group of people in collaboration, with each one having a specialty in each game they work on (i.e. Warhawk, PlayStation Home, SOCOM, WipEout and Twisted Metal). By any means I do hope that this game will become playable again for people who have played in the past, or have yet to experience such an underrated gem from 2012.
