yeah, i know - the fix simply extracs die .arc files in the resource folder.

but didn't work for me, still crashing to desktop.

like you said Trismogestos, its definite a game problem and we have to wait for a offical patch - sad but true! :rolleyes:

Like I said its serial related.


Lots of people have had not a problem with the game, and as seen on their forums varied machines and chipsets.


Only people who didnt want to expand further on their forums or didnt want to register their game to get help are the ones with the cd-key problems.


Clever stuff by the developers/publishers.

Perhaps, this is FADE, quite properly implemented...?! :D

Not sure Joe, I thought Fade was Codemasters own protection?

@dabhand, you did not notice the irony in joe's post.

It seems not to be a problem of the cdkey. Its a problem of bad coding ;) look

Seems it's a DEV c0ck up, from the Silentgate nfo:

Needs a patch methinks!!

1) Mount .mds in DT4 (fixed Image)
2) Use Pr0t.St0p to hide the virtual drive(s)
3) Titan Quest.exe -> Right click -> Properties -> Compatibility [x] Win98/ME [x] Disable Visual Themes [x] Turn off advanced text services for this program
4) asr.exe -> Titan Quest.exe

Working on 100% for me and next many people
Singleplayer or Multiplayer Working! No Crashing Game!

The patch will be released on July 5th.

OK, I extracted the *.arc files, even the audio files, and the game still crashes when I run it.

How do I force the game to use the extracted files and not those inside the archives? Should I delete the *.arc files?

hi their,

i have used the following batch file - this extracts the arcs to the right folder und renames the arc files - when you extract the arc files in the resource folder it will f**k up the game:

simply create a batch file, in the TQ main folder, with the following content ("C:\Spiele\Titan Quest" must be changed to match your game path):
if you dont have a dual core cpu you can try the following:

open the options.txt in the my documents/my games/titan quest/settings folder and alter this:

forceSingleProcessorMode = false
to
forceSingleProcessorMode = true


but i would wait for tha upcoming patch, i hope it fixes this random crash problem.

And what about the *.arc files in the Audio folder? Where do I extract them? Should I creat separate "Music", "Sound" etc. folders?

dont know, haven't ever extractet them.

Yeah, I extracted them all, and guess what....it doesn't help. The game crashes just as it crashed before.

When im using the crack, the game crashes after a while. I don't have this problem when im using the original disc. And when im trying to use curerom 2.03, i alwas get the message that the game cant find the disc.

Game works for me fine with RELOADED crack:
1.turn off internet connection,
2.turn off antivirus
3.turn off process Daemon tools
4.do not use image or disk,
works fine!!!
my config:AMD Athlon 2500+,Ati Radeon 9700 128 MB,RAM:512,Main asus a7n8x Deluxe Gold,Seagate Barracuda 120 GB ,win XP

Did you delete the arc files?

ok guys, i found a solution that works very well for me:

-first i de-installed TQ completely
-re-installed it
-the only emu software a have installed is DaemonTools 4.03 with alle emulations on
-than i installed CureROM Pro v2.0.3 (creating a TQ profile with the built in wizard is quit easy)
-i used the mini-image from Bender
-so i let do curerom all the work, starting the game, mounting the image and so on
-at least i have deleted the video folder from TQ :)
-started up the game with the shortcut created by curerom
-putting all options to default (dont know if this is important to run the game smooth)
-so the fact is i played the game the whole day without a single crash


dont know if this works for others

i can upload my curerom-profile, if this will help in anyway

hi,
i used rld crack, than game crashed, so i install this fix and game crashes every time i try to load my char, so i have to create new one? will it be ok? or its better use curerom?

you can try to delete the last modified .que files in the
...\My Games\Titan Quest\SaveData\Main\*CHARNAME*\Levels_World_World0 1.map\Normal

playing 2 days now with curerom without a single crash. you should give it a try :)

im just trying curerom with new char, hope it will be ok without crashes now.

ok, but make sure you start the game with the original .exe and not with the reloaded one! ;)

Oh boy, if that quote from Silentgate is true - and why wouldn't it be? - then the developers need to attend a very basic course on proper programming with today's modern hardware and operating systems; what a great fuck up! <sigh>

thx for warning, but i know that :-)
it looks fine now...no crash yet

edit : still works good with curerom

hoping someone could show a picture of how they got this to work with curerom.

i installed game unleased dvd version installed with dt4.3e i then proceeded to download latest curerom and select the exe file of titan quest it created a shortcut on my desktop i ran the game from that shortcut and it is doing the same thing, im getting moments where the game freezes and music goes haywire. I'm wondering if its something I did incorrectly in curerom. Any help is appreciated :)

@SocraticMethod
Purchase a legal retail version of the game and you wont have any problems!

Banned!

I installed the game, dont use crack, I have a Daenon 4.03 and CureRom Pro 2.0.3 and game is always crash.
BTW what's up with patch? I'd thought that today it will be... anyone know that patch helps with crashes?

ive tryed every cr*ck on gamecopyworld and it doesnt works! Random crashes all the time. It means there is no working cr*ck??

Game problem
 

hello guys, im having a problem with titan quest... the problem is when i double click on titan quest.exe the screen remains black (that's all u can see) the computer doesnt answer, and i have to restart my system.
I have an AMD 3200+, 1gb ram, gforce 6600 256mb, 250 gb disk space... i think that my pc perfectly suits the game requirements, but...why is this happening? i've tried many things..but it's the same after trying once and again...
please i need a hand, thanks for your time...

The Crashes are not depending on the Cracks or the Mini Images. The game is buggy. Next week there will be an update to version 1.07 - that update should help and the random crashes and several sound problems.
Greetings, 007

Hi there,
I used the crack first, too and it crashed normally after 5-10 minutes.
I tried the "Playfix" wich extracts all the .arcs, too, but the game still crashed.

Now I use Bender´s Mini Image + CureROM 2.03 and it works all fine.
(I dont know if that matters, but I also told my firewall to block Titan Quest.exe at alle Ports)

PS.: If the crashes are only caused because of bad coding, then why did the demo version work all fine on my system and the systems of my friends?

The demo probably worked properly because it contained very reduced game content. (It's easy to make software work when it does only ~10% of what it is supposed to do when it's finished...! ;))

Hm but why does it then work for me with the mini image? I already played 2 hours nonstop and it didnt crash!

This game is driving me nuts. Doesn't matter if I use crack, mini-image or original disc... Problem for me is that my Razer Diamondback drivers makes the game crash. So I get bluescreens and auto reboots in the game after varying time... There's a thread about the problem on the games official boards too... God I hope the patch will fix that or Razer will release an updated driver.. :(

ok
 

Working fine with the reloaded exe and deamon tools 3.47 mounted image + curerom
With this solution I got no crashes no freezes...

But I think I'll buy it ;)

So what do you use now, if you will buy it?

how long till a no-cd patch for the 1.08 patch?

I was really watching the clock waiting for this recent update to fix the crashing, but then I realized that my .exe (;)) was corrupted after the update. :mad: Hopefully someone will give us a link to get the 1.08 patch executable, it'd be very much appreciated!

I'm trying to play it, I'll buy it if its a great game like D2 was some years ago:p

can I create my own no-cd for the 1.08 patch using gamejackal?

Banned when mods see you.


WAREZ ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE.


And playing a game before you buy it or not is still stealing.
