TBH if (big if) R* did manage to make their game "uncrackable" then kudos, they would have managed to do something that's been impossible to achieve in a very long time. That said, there's no crack for MySims but I think thats probably for different reasons.

ok so , for stop all speculation and so , i affirm you this game use 3 hardware thread.don't play on dual core.

ps: quad @ 73% ...


if it doesnt scale over all four cores the dual-core might still be just as good. If you look at the comparisons posted in this thread even games which are optimized for multicore dont show much improvement over their dual-core brothers. So taking that into account a situation where a dual core runs at 100% and a quad only at 73 might not make any difference in gameplay / fps. Especially since everybody and his aunt mentioned that changing settings with this game doesnt do squat for performance.

Bench the game with your quad and disable two cores and bench it again. If it shows a significant difference in mean fps, that would be a good sign for getting quads for gaming

Modding is possible but I don't know much about it at the moment, still testing things.

\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data

Most of the files in the above folder can be opened and edited in notepad, haven't tried to alter any files yet though.

\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\common\shaders

This here is the shader files, some of these files can also be edited if required.

\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\common\text

Here's the text files (subtitles?), can't be edited at all.

\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\movies

Here's a bunch of BIK movies for what I guess is various ingame TV shows, no logo videos or anything like that though.

\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\OfflineActivation

Files to help activate "offline" when you have the instructions from another computer that has been online.

\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc

In here there's various data files such as textures, sound and websites (ingame surfing) but I can't open any of these either.
(EDIT: Some files could be opened such as these "\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\data")

Hope that explains part of it.

EDIT: Can't open them but the names of the folders of the available (ingame) websites are a bit funny.
\GTA4\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\html

www.fistfans.com
www.gloryholethemepark.com
www.hand-jobs-online.com
www.ilovetoblow.org

www.modderstotallyrule.com

EDIT: The above websites aren't real by the way, used in the actual game so don't click the links.

I'd call you brain-damaged. Sorry, but what you said is plain idiotic Sad

Also, to the others, there's no working crack, no matter how many times you noobs ask.

16-26 FPS average here (more in the 16 FPS range though, this is when driving).. doesnt matter if i used medium or high (or very high in render quality). benchmark gives 49 FPS average (which doesnt say shit really, well it does say you need at least 100 FPS in the benchmark for the game to be even playable).

Gah, i regret opening it now, should've sent it back but i was far too curious hehe

Codes that work in the console version still work in the PC version, guess achievement disabling codes also work but I won't test those until I unlocked the specific achievement.

Because it's stupid.

Quote:
Assasins Creed was leaked on purpose

No, it wasn't. An employee at the disc manufacturing facility that produced copies of the game (which apparently had really lax security measures, which is a big no-no in that business) managed to take a production copy home while the initial run of the game was still being printed, which was the source of the early piracy of the game. There was nothing intentional about it, on Ubi's part.

Leaking a game for purposes of litigation revenue from pursuing downloaders is a HUGELY different thing from leaking a game for the sole purpose of trying to prove that it's uncrackable.

NecroViolator, you can't turn off shadows as that option is missing.

(That "Schatten" option, few other options are also absent for some reason.)

EDIT: There are other problems with the retail version as well.

Dont bother to beat our protection, guys.

Think we spent 200k for you to play our game for free?

Think twice!

In your opinion perhaps, personaly I think anything is possible.

Quote:
]No, it wasn't.


It may not have ben leaked by Ubisoft, however, the version that was leaked was purposefully broken so as to make the game unplayable. It was done to track the source of leaks, so although Ubisoft did not leak the game themselves, the intention was that the game would be leaked. The Jerusalem bug was not an accident, it was intentional and Ubisoft payed for it in the end.

Perhaps, but it shows that stuff is leaked, for whatever reason, on purpose.

I'm not saying Rockstar have leaked their own game, I'm simply saying I would not be at all surprised if they did.
