almagnifico24 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Theres an update right now that I haven't downloaded yet out of fear it would patch the egg glitch. I've searched all over the net trying to find out if it has been patched, and seen a few people saying it was, but I'm not sure because others seem like they are still doing it. Can anyone here who has all the updates confirm if the glitch still works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taiyz Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Personally, I'd claim that it's impossible to patch, or at least extremely counter-productive to do so. See, it's not a glitch. It's an exploit that works with how they game is meant to save your data. Every time you start a chapter, it saves your game. Any changes you made to your inventory is saved when you begin the mission. When you quit, you can choose whether or not to save what you've done to your inventory. So if you leave the inventory screen when Sheva is holding an item, it saves with her holding that item. If she gives that item to Chris, and then you quit, you can save on Chris' profile to keep that item, and choose not to save with Sheva so that when you go back into the inventory screen, it's still using the data from when it saved upon level entry and she still has that item in her possession. You can now give her the copy of the item that Chris recieved previously, and she now has two copies of it. Go into the mission, and now her save file contains both copies of that item. Keep going and it's exponential; 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 copies of that item. Honestly, it's ridiculous how quickly this can be done! Basically, unless Capcom changes the game's saving functionality, or what items are saved or are not saved, it's impossible to remove this exploit. If they try and fix this, they'd likely end up pissing off a ton of people. We all know lots of games where it's like, "Okay so WHY wasn't there a save point here?" It's not just a matter of fixing an exploit; it requires changing how the game is meant to work. Right now it's got a good balance, with the auto-saves and save-on-quit. Though it happens to be exploitable, I think Capcom should just hope players will be on their best behaviour and NOT do it, rather than mess with the concept of saving in RE5 with the risk of alienating their audience.

I really couldn't have summed it up better myself. It really is an exploit hardwired into the core mechanics of the game. So you guys really have nothing to fear. Though at the same time, I hardly saw the exploit as necessary to begin with. Never exploited (past replaying entire levels) to get money for weapons and such.

In theory yes, but that would cause problems with saving weapons. The idea is to have your story progress and weapons progress to be independent of each other. Otherwise, starting a new chapter would mean you lose your weapons. That save point is what saves your item status to prevent any loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagnifico24 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 yeah i see what your saying. so, any kind souls out there have a rotten egg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
removed-user Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 If you're trying to help someone out with this glitch then do you have to be the one hosting the game session or does it not matter? The reason I'm asking is cuz I was helping out a buddy and he was the host but I was the one giving him the rotten eggs and when we quit and I chose not to save it somehow deleted all my eggs and now I'm paranoid about helping others out for fear that I might lose them again. I wouldn't have a problem with losing them except that my friend that gave me the 45 eggs to begin with got bored of the game and sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flik Nightshade Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Even if the egg glitch were to get patched, all you'd have to do is do a hard wipe of all your xbox updates and then just play the game offline to do the glitch. A little bit more of a hassle but still workable. But yeah, I really don't see the glitch getting patched out anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played veteran online and solo many times and nada. So I had to use a golden egg and replicate it. I just need it for the achievements: Egg Hunt and Egg On Your Face. Does anyone want to jump online with me. PM me if you do. ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
