SO WHAT ABOUT THE GAME YOU GOD DAMN TECHNICAL BASTARDS?!

I'll tell you, its a really nice game. If you liked Pirates of The Caribbean, you'll love this!
Its yet another game with 1152x768 as the max resolution, really fucking odd how so many games are like that, this aint 1990. Can be changed in the ini file luckily. But its redicolus that it has to be done for so many games these days in 2006 for crying out loud.

Okay graphics, the water looks good, even great sometimes. The islands and towns look pretty bad, both in terms of polygons and textures. But the gameplay is supernice, lots of customization before it even starts, and lots of skills and crap like that Smile

oh code identical. hehe use your space bar


the code in .data .text and .rdata is functionwise identical if u sub the functions SF protected in the exe. so a simple copy paste will make a good looking crack but rld is to fool for that it seems as they are arrogant cause other groups just nuke and tell bs without testing.

yes i got that i didnt know wtf u meant by codeident sicne you had no space.


no problem im just a bit sad about cenega. they paid close to nothing to playlogic for this game and then do such a fucking shit. without cenegas unprotected polish box this game would never be crackable cause of starforce pro added and now this. playlogic invest almost 15 month work in this game and need the success of it in the us and eu and with that bs rld was able to fuck playlogic and they dont even hide it so the rld release means nothing else then: fuck u all to the face of playlogic developing team cuase im pretty sure they know what they are doing while using that exes.

sorry but such a sucking shit needs to be get public to the gamers. the game of course is nice and the gfx is developed for the russian personal home computer standard amd 1800 512mb ram agp 8x 128mb gfx card. corsairs 4 (if it will get done before playlogic pays the price for cenega) will have new gfx engine and will be released to russia in approx. 8-10 month and to 99.9% not published to cenega countries Smile

thats cause in russia update exe isnt ressource updated and they gave it to pl that whay. eu got protected again cause the program.dat differs in eu and .ru version (ru only includes .ru data and eu includes ru it es de uk fr) during that progress they updated the exe ressources but just for info engine.exe is only a loader, memory alloc and ms dll transporter to XINTERFACE.dll. all the game code runs in that dll why it was protected with sf and stolen functions of course Smile. and cenega got the april ru patch 1.41 exe dlls just without the sf part for translation. thats why i said code ident and not byte ident tho because funtions and results are identical but memory allocs differ cause sf alloc some memory too to run their VM. pratically the exe is identically and this sucks from cenega Sad

SF protected this files in june 16th for playlogic and till publisher was signed for eu and us it was hold back while publishers like cenega used files to translate it to mino supported languages like pl/hu/cz/sk/...

No, there isnt a retail DVD version of SR7, but you can make that (Remember all those DVD and CD releases a while ago).
And about #2, thats bullshit, it should be the original stuff, not some homebrew stuff, what you say is pretty lame imo.

Man!, just installed this and all is just fine...if it wasn't for that i am sort a sick (have a cold from hell) and I am to tired to get in to it. I will though Razz looks pretty similar to the 1st one. Graphics are ok not wow, but i am sure the game play is great (once I get in to it).

Just some trivia if you did not know. Buccaneer comes from the French word "Boucanier" they were hunters who were poaching cattle and pigs. They would smoke the meat on wooden frames, "boucans" They were taught this by the local Arawak tribes from Santo Domingo, calling the method Barbicoa - which is where the word and method of Barbecue originated Wink I always wondered where the word BBQ comes from, well now I know hey Razz

And if you want to get more in to the world of the "REAL" pirates, look for Discovery Channel PIRATES on the net Wink very good 2 part documentary about the real pirates.

SF is lame dvdrom hogging down drm anyway. Good job Reloaded.

If the game is good they will actually lose money cos lately alot more people start to whine about SF lameness, so why worry @playlogic they already fucked themselves by selecting SF as drm even if it is a good game.

If the game is bad it wont sell anyway, butt offcourse, how naive of me --> corp. selling techniques, crappy games with SF so noone can playtest it before buying so some bloke in the street buys it and lost his money. But who cares his money is spend!

So Cenega actually did us a favour thank you Poland!

well, you seem pretty convinced to nuke this release iced. IMO it's a proper release, the SF game had been cracked, by witch means it doesen't concern us. If the same content is there after the crack is applied as the original, then it shouldn't be nuked. So what they used the SR exe for the SF release? You wanted 2 releases of the same game or what?

ehh I can remember you say that Toca2 ,SCCT never would be cracked by RLD but they did. so don't come say that it would stay uncracked reloaeded don't need unprotected polishe exe's cause they won't need such they can do it without polish exe's but if they are available why the hack should they waste time they can speed the cracking progress by using the polish exes or copy some stolen functions etc from polish exe nobody cares anymore. Starforce3 is down for a long time already. lots of publishers have dropped that trash anyway.

Is it me or is this game hard as hell? I've gone with default settings (everything set to easiest) and I'm constantly getting my ass handed to be in naval combat. Soon as combat is initiated I'm getting popped from miles away, and when I attempt to return fire my (cannon) balls are all over the place Laughing and I hardly ever land a shot... bleh.

I don't remember PoTC being this hard.

Seems my best bet is using the fastest ship possible and ramming my target, boarding it then taking out the crew - piece of piss compared to actually destroying the ship.

so taking an exe from a different version of the game and packing it with another version isnt homebrew? Smile cuz im pretty damn sure everyone and thier mother did the exact same thing on thier own before the RLD DVD rls even pre'd.
