In the end no matter if PC or XBox, it is data sent to the Hitman server. What your console sends can be very well also send a computer. The only difference between the two is the account that is sending the data.
The so called “auth token” is like a certificate that you are logged in. In this token the server can see if you are a PC or Xbox user. Or whatever else. If a PC (with my tool) gets a token of your Xbox account, it can use it to create a Xbox contract. The server thinks it is a console this comes from.
The token is not only given to your Xbox to play Hitman, it is also used when you log into https://personal.hitman.io. And if my tool is running while you log into that, it can do all that stuff I spoke about.
The recreation of contracts is described in the first post at More Information. It might become a bit more clear if you follow it yourself. Note that ofc someone on PC needs to create a contract first and send you the textfile you need to recreate it.
Before I finally get round to reinstalling hitman 2 to disconnect the ioi account, does this mean that it relies on owning the game instead and disconnecting the ioi account wouldn’t work?
I was a bit mistaken, the IO account is not relevant here, only the XBox account. Unless you are willing to delete your ownership of Hitman 2 in your XBox account (if that is even possible) there is nothing you can do.
Wait a minute, so is owning Hitman on PC not required to create or recreate a console contract with your tool? Just owning it on a console is okay?
You only need to log into the IOI website when it’s open for it to work?
I’ve seen people posting jsons and asking for a recreate on a specific console, but I wasn’t sure if me, PS4 player could somehow help.
login to game with new account and it will be linked
you can now publish to Xbox
I did this for Cybie and it worked. Everything you can access can now be accessed by the new account as well.
If you use gameshare on Xbox it will not work, as your own console will not be set to HOME. You can switch it back though, do this and then re-link the gameshare console as your home again.
