Binary Compatibility¶

- Bin-independent Client Guard features work without RF_Online.bin memory hooks.
- Bin-dependent Client Guard features are validated for RF Online 2.2.3.2 and deactivate when required patterns are unavailable.
Upgrading¶
Contact the CrespoGuard team to:
- Receive the correct package/tier license for your server.
- Enable paid relay/dashboard/HWID/automation features where needed.
- Increase player caps or add hosted edge routing.
The neutral Community launcher package remains server-neutral; server-specific settings belong in modules.json and generated config.bin.
