How's this then, retail English files plus the unprotected (Aside from the serial check) EXE Smile

(Version 1.01 by the way, included what should make the entire game into English, in the profile folder edit ArmA2.cfg or delete it as the language=German might conflict, alternatively change it to language=English or try German, French, Italian or Spanish.)

JB are you sure the .exe in that .rar is the unprotected one? It is not working for me, and it is the same size as the german protected .exe.

One question:

why is it then that the menu is not useable to change the language? must be another file that deals with that ? that could probably be changed also im thinking to get that dropdown working?

Noxxle i dont think he meant it that way its late hes prob tired Very Happy there is no non protected exe, even the 505 release will have securom checking.

Well that's strange then as the EXE I uploaded should be unprotected, there's no disc check here and aside from the initial serial there's no protection at all. Confused

Unsure about the menus as well, there's quite a few .PBO files so it's hard to find the ones that differ from the German (patched of course) version.

EDIT: Paul.dll, lang.ini and unicows.dll should also not be present in the game folder or it might try to hook with it which'll turn it back to a online activation system.
(Shouldn't be possible though.)

EDIT: There are some traces of SecuROM in the EXE file after checking it a bit better, still odd that it doesn't trigger a disc check or anything.
(Without the above files present the online activation system is reverted back to a disc check as it won't work without those files.)

EDIT: Unless it's built into the EXE directly which could be a possibility.

EDIT: Well that clears it up then, still a bit odd that it doesn't prompt for a disc, guess the protection is a bit built-in or how to say it.

im confoosed, I dont have no paull dll files in my arma.. or unicows.dll etc all i have dll wise is

ij15.dll

EDIT: Well that clears it up then, still a bit odd that it doesn't prompt for a disc, guess the protection is a bit built-in or how to say it.


^^ im either reading what your saying wrong or you seem to be contradicting yourself lol.. Does the english version "505 games" have any paul.dll or other dll's in the root folder of install ?

Mine does not and its a german version, which I originally used english pbo files as a mod to play all in english.. My exe i just noticed when unpacked IS the same size as my german one lol damn whats happening.. all works but are you saying no disk check should be present ? Im sure thats not the case yet with arma2 release.. this wont happen for a few unified patches yet.

The German version and German download version use the same protection system and identical EXE files (One patch for both of them.) however the German retail version uses a disc check whereas the German download version uses digital activation.

This is triggered by the presence of the paul.dll and lang.ini (And unicows.dll) files as without them this system won't work and it'll ask for a disc to use for verification instead.

The English retail copy also uses a disc check from what I know and it's probably the same SecuROM stuff, however the English download edition doesn't contain those paul.dll files so it also doesn't use Paul.dll for online verification which lead me to the comment that it might be "built in" into the EXE file. Smile

However if it was it would always use a online activation procedure and from what you said it worked but with the mini-image mounted, perhaps it can use both methods for verification?

EDIT: Though as long as it works it doesn't matter, just use whatever EXE works best and launch via a mini-image until a proper crack is out, FADE might be a bit of a problem though. (Probably German 1.01 with the language files as a game modification instead of a replacer to be better compatible with future updates.)

Wish me luck. Today I will visit the closest games store and see if they have it, which they should since these stores receive new items on fridays. Smile

Fingers crossed.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I read from page 1 through to 39 and couldn't find a solid workaround, although I've read some people having the same issues in this thread, I couldn't find any help given.

I'm using the russian repack which I changed back to german, and applied the german 1.01 patch. Then I cracked and added English language files.

I've been playing the game for 2 days, but I know that my team commands are either completely missing or in the same order, I've tried 5 or so different English language files including the latest one on this thread from English retail, but I still can't issue commands, I'm stuck in the game because of this. Thanks in advance.

When you press spacebar to issue commands, they are either mixed up or the menu would just be blank.

For example, I would press "move here" but coops would say "halt!" All the radio commands are mixed up, apart from that, the game works fine.

check your version in main menu its 1.01 beta.. German is up to 1.01 final (and yes if you check the version number you will seet his to be correct), although you can still play regardles. As said though 1.02 is rather near.
