Blocking main menu advertisements

[A Barbarian]

I plan to write a small proxy executable which will replace the awesomium.exe file which is used to
1) launch the in game help
2) display the advertisements in the main menu

Since the awesomium.exe file simply gets the url as a parameter it should be easy to differentiate between the encyclopedia and the ad-server. All calls to the encyclopedia will be redirected to the original awesomium.exe file and all other calls will be simply ignored.

Maybe, if we are lucky, this will also help to resolve issues which some people have with the whole internet access mechanism from S2.

You get a Rep from me just for the idea.

I dont know if will be possible but, is more easy add a link in the main menu of the enciclopedia, or in the Lastest news, to google.

Maybe it's easier to make your firewall to ignore the darn site the adds are coming.

[A Barbarian]

Sure, using the firewall to block the ads is also possible.
I am also trying this partly as a small personal programming challenge

Any chance you could show us how to do this? I would love to block those annoying adverts on the main menu. They take away the immersion of the game for me.

Was there any progress on this? Is it possible to remove the ad without getting VAC banned or something?
