Posted: Fri, 12th May 2006 16:54 Post subject: Civilization IV *1.61 Update*-PCGAME not fully cracked! |
|
 |
I've patched my Civ4 to 1.61 and replaced the original .exe with the one from PCGAME, and it starts fine, but each time I start a new game (the normal way or through custom settings), I don't see any special items on the game map (like horses, pigs, villages, etc.) even though they are showing up in the description when I move my mouse over the field, and every game ends after 10 turns. It even says so in the upper right corner that there are only 10 turns left when you start.
This is obviously some sort of copy protection fooling, so it seems that PCGAME did not fully crack it. Thus it should be nuked for not working properly.
[EDIT]: I just found this on GCW's File Forum:
Quote: | Civilization.4.UPDATE.v1.61.iNTERNAL.READNFO.CRACK FiX-CARBON
Code:
NOTES:
1) PCGAME's crack wasn't compatible to Win2k, this is fixed.
2) PCGAME's crack had one hidden check uncracked, this is fixed.
iNTERNAL Reason is clear as water: We don't have the permission from PCGAME...Use it or don't - it's up to you! Keep it up guys! |
So nuke this rubbish PCGAME one.

Sure, it let's you continue after those 10 rounds, but it no longer gets counted then for the highscore list. And the lack of scenery is rather irritating...
But I already told you that on ICQ.

The CARBON one has the same trouble.
- Ends after 10 turns
- Can's see forest, neutral tribes, etc
Guess we gotta wait some more

Apparently, but why release cracks that obviously don't work?

Hi,
yeah, anything is possible with that custom-code-shit...
With v1.61 the engine is updated (CvGameCoreDLL.dll), and it has some real strange calls in it...
Seems like the engine is self-modifying-shit, with lots of CMP's.
The cracked exe passes a wrong value to the engine - custom shite modifies the game..
Not easy, really not easy...

If you revert to the version prior does it still do it?

I tried using the 1.52 crack, but the game didn't even start anymore. I had to un- and re-install, patch to 1.52 and use the crack again to get it back up and running, with all the lovely scenery.

I guess this kosmiq is you.
But damnit, if I update the game again and it won't run fine with this one, I'll... hrmm... I don't know what I'll do, but I'll be mad at you.
[EDIT]: It works! :O No 10-turn limit, and scenery is present! Yay! Thanks kosmiq.

The iND one works fine. So what if it doesn't work for Win2k users. Screw 'em.
