First Wolfenstein Youngblood patch fixes the CheatEngine micro-transactions exploit

A few days ago, we informed you about a workaround via which you could increase your amount of Standard Coins in Wolfenstein: Youngblood via CheatEngine. However, and instead of focusing on the game’s real problems, Bethesda has just released a patch that simply fixes this exploit and nothing more.

This first patch for Wolfenstein: Youngblood is 160MB in size, does not remove the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, and simply fixes the micro-transactions exploit that surfaced earlier last week (Bethesda has not provided any changelog or release notes so we can only assume that there aren’t any major fixes in this patch).

Now as we’ve said in our previous article, this CheatEngine workaround could be considered an illegal way via which gamers can increase their Standard Coins. On the other hand, Bethesda is now trying to force these microtransactions to everyone, something that – while the team can legally do – is as anti-consumer as it can get.

Still, this mentality right here shows the main focus behind this latest Wolfenstein game. Moreover, I am a bit worried now about what kind of microtransactions will be coming with Doom Eternal; a game that a lot of players have been looking forward to.

Last but not least, and since Denuvo is still present, it will be interesting to see whether Bethesda will remove this anti-tamper tech once – and if – the game gets cracked.

      1. I’ll give it a shot once it’s CODEX-ed but I’m in no rush since this spinoff is mediocre at best.

        1. My favourite review of it so far…

          1. this game is barely recognizable as wolfenstein anymore, jesus.
            actually scratch that, it’s just not wolfenstein.

      2. I’ll give it a shot once its CODEX-ed but I’m in no rush since it’s mediocre at best.

        1. Just cause 4 was cracked 2 days before release. And it’s a very popular franchise, even though Avalanche NY mucked it up.

    1. “Bethesda is baisically ea at this point.”

      you mean everyone nowadays.
      one company after another i hear people say this….

  1. people saying optional this is clear message to you this was never optional they intended to get more out of it i hope people learn from it and raise concern so future games are not f***** further more.

    1. Your hope is about 5 years too late. This garbage should’ve been snuffed out when it first emerged, not now that it’s established and pretty much accepted by the lemmings of the planet.

  2. “…I am a bit worried now about what kind of microtransactions will be coming with Doom Eternal…”

    You’re worried…. now? You’re about a decade late to the party, man.

    1. I’m more concerned by the dev’s comments regarding gameplay flow insofar as them having forced the player into endlessly chaining ‘glory kills’. That might be fun to some but it sure as hell isn’t Doom any more.

  3. HOW DARE YOU GOYIM TRY CHEATING AND GETTING THINGS IN A GAME YOU BOUGHT WITHOUT PAYING US EXTRA MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS LIKE ANOTHER HOLOCAUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUMP DID THISSSSSSSSSSSSSS RRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  4. I’ve played the game and I can confirm that this game was designed around microtransaction. You get one shotted and even though every skin is purchased through Silver & gun upgrades, good luck making that much Silver to buy an armor that cost 6000 Silver. You also need the same Silver to upgrade your guns/by gun parts. The problem with gaming that has been around since the advent of “leveling up” that people doesn’t seem to understand is that the leveling up MECHANICS in a video game is BULLSCHIT. it’s purpose and design is to GRIND via making the game seem as if it has content. This why I’ve always loved gears of war. No leveling up Bullschitt & no crafting Bullschitt. You have the same guns from start to finish and what you need is skill to make it all work.

    For the last 15 years all they’ve done is strip away all that in the beginning and then make you grind to get it back. Which brings us to the WOLFENSTEIN: Period Blood Problem. It’s all designed for you to grind, then you get fed up and pony up some cash. Well good luck with that because I have 99999999 silver & 9999999 ability points. Go Fuq yourselves Bethesda…. The first thing I do in any game that is about leveling up and crafting, I pop open cheat engine… I call it “The Year 2000 Mode”, a time when there was no leveling & crafting. I’m not running around like a monkey doing dumb schitt. …

    1. Agreed. At least New Order had its own identity relative to other games of its time and inspired by a mix of PKD’s Man in the High Castle (books, not show) and maaaaaybe some Band of Brothers in it with its dialog and how you bonded with others from the get go, both of which had more serious tones and showed enemies as more threatening and not comedic.

      Old Blood was ok DLC, passable, but went nowhere and was shallow.

      Then New Colossus fcked it all up by being some weird, way too try hard, edgy mix of grind house Inglorious Basterds, some weird notion of “60s, 70s” nostalgia that would not have existed (hippies, Jimi, etc) since the War ended way before then, and I have no idea what else – but it was a massively off course from the original tone and storytelling pacing.

      Then this new Youngblood one was just scamming garbage hamfisting Gillette-like, disingenuous virtue signaling and man shaming to “trend” on social media all to sell microtransactions. From what I’ve seen its attempts at 80s were themes/tones that would have never occurred in an alternate reality again due to the War having ended so far in the past with such a dramatic shift from our reality.

      Even PKD’s books didn’t have 60s nostalgia themes in line with our universe because it didnt make sense and in fact were more stuck in the past than exploring “free love” etc.

      They’ve lost their way, and my money.

  5. Disgusting…i can understand this in a competitive multiplayer game..but a single-coop game? cmon…
