Is there still no way to remove the black bars in this? Sad I never finished the game because those started to piss me off and now they're a deal breaker.

Flawless Widescreen has an Alice plugin with all kinds of aspect, framecap and fov fixes, maybe it also removes the black bars?

You really miss out on something if you skip this game.

I don't want to skip it, I want to finish it (because I started playing it when it was released), since I'm a big fan of McGee's version of Wonderland. Problem is, those black bars are extremely annoying.

I know about Flawless Widescreen, but haven't they removed the plugin for this game?

Yeah, it seems it's there, but on their website it says they removed it. Weird. It's still a no go though. I tried copying over THETA's crack and the game works like that (with the Steam overlay and everything), but the fix doesn't. Sad

Game says completion is at 28%.

Sorry for bumping this, but was this ever properly cracked?
The posts in this thread suggests the Theta release but reading comments on torrents suggests that that release has issues as well.
Did anyone manage to finish this with a pirate version?

Yep I have the Theta version since its the "clone" of the real disc, although I played the custominstaller version (SKIDROW? maybe)

Played through it 3 times, and not a single problem. (could complete the game 100%, collecting everything, even alice1 worked like a charm)

Yep:
Alice.Madness.Returns-SKIDROW
Alice.Madness.Returns.Crackfix-SKIDROW

I think I used these two.

Alright, thanks a lot, I'll give that a try and hope for the best.

Wait I saw a Alice.Madness.Returns.Proper-RELOADED version too.....don't know. I think SKIDROW was the first one who released the game and the basic version had a gamecrash problem where you pick up the pepper gun but after the crackfix I think it worked like a charm.

So while I thought all the releases were more or less broken in some way it seems like they all, in fact, work?
What a strange turn of events. Smile

They went pay to win on mobile, they had two games (that I know of) and they were essentially the same, even reused textures from each other.

So frankly balls to them

Indeed the silly Spicy Ponies shot themselves in the hoof with those :<
A shame though, nuAlice was (surprisingly) good and there was genuine talent in there..they even created flawless hair physics before it was cool, true l'Oreal hipsters. Razz

Not shutting down, but downsizing and changing, moving away from F2P mobile games.

No. We reduced staff earlier this week, but the studio remains and will continue to support existing and recently launched titles. We'll be pivoting away from F2P mobile games. More news on next titles coming soon.

So people actually love the one thing you did right in your career and are passionate about it? boo hoo, poor fella.

Everything else he made is horse shit most of his ideas totally suck, Alice is literally the only good idea he ever had in his life he should be on his knees and beg EA to let him make Alice 3 Laughing

I took a quick look to his wikipedia page to read about his career

Quote:
McGee had a number of stepfathers when growing up until his mother finally settled into a relationship with a transgender woman. One day when American was sixteen, he came home from school only to find the house empty and abandoned. The only things left were his bed, his books, his clothes and his Commodore 64 computer. His mother had sold the house to pay for two plane tickets and the fee for her girlfriend's sex change operation, leaving him on his own. He packed up his computer, dropped out of high school and took a variety of odd jobs, finally settling on a Volkswagen repair shop.

Unfortunately the rights to the American McGee's Alice series are with EA so there are no other options if we want a sequel.

Well they could change the name but if the gameplay and such is close to the material of the previous two games it might be risky if EA decides to take action.
