A failed attempt to debug "The Generous Friend"


Recommended Posts

Well, after reaching 98% completion on the game trophies I had to try something.

Inspired by the Saintfied trophy in https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/66341-how-to-get-the-saintified-trophy-after-the-servers-shutdown/

At first, tried to do the same method and nothing.

Then, I decided to use some Unix tools, like dnsmasq and nothing again.

 

I found that the servers the game tries and fails to connect when sending a gift (obtained through Wireshark) are:

501158-gosprapp1139.ea.com

ec2-52-26-44-81.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

 

In case anyone wants to try to setup a custom DNS Server, this might be helpful:

Settin Up a Simple DNS Server

 

Whenever I tried spoofing the first server, I couldn't connect to EA at all, seconds one at amazonaws had no refuses but the same infinite loading screen happened, so I guess the game awaits for a response of the gift receival.

 

Probably the trophy got unobtainable because the gift mechanism was being handled by a server at AWS, which expired and EA simply left it like that as normally.

 

If anyone wants to try the same method, who knows if we'll have different results.

Or even to do some more research for a new method, but at first, I'd say this is definitely unobtainable
