As far as I understand it, you still need a cracked executable (vng or pcgame) even with the no-cd launcher.
Correct?

What's worse than the whole bitching and complaining is that PCGAME comes out w/ their first official rls (and a good one at that, one that will get their name out there nicely) and VNG immediately requests a nuke on it when the rls is reported working fine. What a bunch of lamer sissies, to do that on someone's first rls because they didn't crack it the way VNG does.

I really doubt VNG made all this up, they just friendly say what is wrong so that maybe their next releae will be better.
A few notes from our cracker about this PROPER
Firstly let me say welcome to PCGAME to the scene. Nice game for a
first release . There is however some problems with your securom
removal as I will list here. In the game code there is a whole
heap of securom calls that have not been fixed to their correct
API pointer.
Some examples:
---------
BAD CRACK
.text:1090153D daa
.text:1090153E call near ptr 10900110h
.text:10901543 lea ecx, [esi+2E0h]
.text:10901549 mov byte ptr [esp+14h+var_4], 0
PROPER CRACK
.text:1090153D call ds:??1FWindowsBitmap@@QAE@XZ ; FWindowsBitmap
.text:10901543 lea ecx, [esi+2E0h]
.text:10901549 mov byte ptr [esp+14h+var_4], 0
---------
BAD CRACK
.text:1090149E call near ptr 10900110h
.text:109014A3 stc
PROPER CRACK
.text:1090149E call ds:GetModuleFileNameA
.text:109014A4 mov edi, ds:?appStrlen@@YIHPBD@Z ; appStrlen(char const *)
---------
BAD CRACK
.text:10904FB9 push offset aEditactor ; "EditActor"
.text:10904FBE call near ptr 10900110h
.text:10904FC3 stc
PROPER CRACK
.text:10904FB9 push offset aEditactor ; "EditActor"
.text:10904FBE call ds:??0FName@@QAE@PBDW4EFindName@@@Z ; FName:
.text:10904FC4 mov ecx, esi
---------
These are just a few examples, there is in fact an awful lot of
these invalid calls in the game code. Now of course the game
actualy has to go over that code for a crash to occur and with
the amount of bad calls in the game people will experience crashes
during gameplay. Being a new group we assume that your cracker is
also learning this so we will briefly explain what the problem is
exactly. SecuROM takes API calls from the game and changes the
calls to 'call' its own code. So you see in the bad crack examples
we've shown you there is usually an one byte useless opcode around
the bad call (daa, nop, stc etc..). You simply have not fixed the
E8 call to the FF 15/25 API call it should be. We would not have
propered it if it was a random thing but its occuring many times
in the game code.

Just finished the PCGAME rls and not ONE crash or something. Worked prefectly for me. So i think VNG just need to st*f. They allways bitch as they want. EVEN if a game works flawlessy.
Cheers!

Back towards the topic a little. Does anyone know where the SSE/NonSSE EXE's go in the VNG rls? The NFO fails at giving coherent info on what to do w/ the extra .EXE's.
Vengeance.nfo wrote: |
5. Copy the cracked EXE-file from the \Vengeance-directory to GameData\System dir and then NONSSE/SSE if that applies to you.
|
Copying over either EXE (NonSSE or SSE) results in a CD-check, which tells me they're not cracked or something. The main cracked EXE works though, but the NFO sucks at giving proper directions about the other two.

Maybe original exes for later patching?

Well if this is the case why PCG didnt mention nothing about that in their nfo's? and why its in the game data directory on cd1 and not in the PCG folder? It doesnt make sense...im sure those 2 exe are coming with the game and it as nothing to do with the groups.

I can see U not have a life (LOL) playing a game out while its released for what a day lol , I wonder if people like U know what daylight is hehe , same as on the WoW server u see there level 60 and then I think pathetic if U life sucks so much , get out get a girl fuck a little , look up the air outside dont sit 24/7 behind U comp while u smell bad . with a toilet next to u , a fridge , and eat behind the comp if U life is like that then those people have a serious problem , but then again thats how I think , this is not a personal attack its just owell figure it out uself . |
Well sorry to disappoint you, but i had nothing to do yesterday. I was free from school and my girlfriend is on vacation with her family and i had no training either so. Did i not fit in, in your "low life" bitching? So next time you try to start something like that, plzzz just beacuse you play a game for a day don't mean that ju are a geek.

Usually when there is a "bloom" effect it disables FSAA.

I just finished geonosis and am starting the lost ship, so far no crashes, glitches errors, whatever. However, I cannot select FSAA in the graphics options (greyed out). But it doesn't matter cause I can bypass that with ATI's display settings.
I am using the PCGAME release with the VENGEANCE crack. Mounted with Alchohol 1.9.2.1705. Installed fine. I too was curious about the SSE/nonSSE .exes. I thought it had something to do with processor instructions (like 3DNOW or SSE2).
AMD64 3200+
1 GB RAM
ATI X800 Pro - Omegadrivers 2.5.9.7
SB Audigy
WinXP SP1
For those of you who have finished the game, how far along am I? The Nfo says 14 levels, but I've gone through more than 14 loading screens.
