If im not mistaken there is an official game update to v1.03 and i know that GCW is hosting the version 1.03 fixed exe so im wondering why you want 1.0b nocd crack ? (or am i missing something here?)

DABhand 27-04-2005 05:48

Sometimes people wont update their game if the game is working good for them.

Its a good thing, so he obviously doesnt want to possibly hurt his game.


Thats why things like Steam etc is bad, and ive always said this, cause with automatic updating you dont have a say, and a latest update could in turn cause problems you didnt have while its great for other machines.

So I hope they go back to manual updates.

coffin filler 27-04-2005 06:33

Yes i agree in theory with you and manual updating is the way it should continue to be and the consumer shouldnt be forced down the auto update route. I to hate steam and many of its designs. However in some cases an update is more aimed @ the multiplayer side of things and so i guess if your wanting to play through the single player game and dont intend to go online then why update if its running perfectly ?. (in my experience of manual updating i have to say that many times i to dont bother to update a game if its running fine as im an avid single player the majority of the time). Auto updating isnt the way forward. Lets face it to in that some times an update can cause more problems with a game thats running ok untill an update is applied.

There is no need
 
To answer coffin filler:

teebee is requesting for SW: KOTOR 2

1.03 is for the first one.

I myself was trying to find the no cd and was getting confused.

To answer teebee:

I updated to 1.01b last night and just used the no cd for 1.00 and have had absolutely no problems.

G0li4th 27-04-2005 11:15

I too am waiting for a no-cd fix for this ... but i rather they wait 1-2 more weeks for the next patch witch ( obsidian says ) will add high res movies and some more fixes


azgold10:
because most of the fixex were done inside the executable itself ... ( note old original exe is ~ 6 mb ... new one is ~ 13 mb )

Hmmmm cough splutter cough :o
being able to run the game with an old crack for updated game means you wont get all the benifits from the update. (if any @ all)

How sure are you? Some people say the fix and the patch having nothing to do with each other, which means there will never be a new fix as the old is working fine.

Do you have any more explanation to shed more light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Ok basicaly what i mean was this = When a update for a game is released there are also (sometimes) updates made within the game exe etc and so being able to play a "updated" game with an older version nocd can mean simpley the player will not benifit from all (if any) of the updates done within the game. It depends which files,dll's etc are modified of course.(which is why it may be correct that the updates do work with this game but i cant say for sure as i dont own this perticular game) For example lets say we are playing a game that is updated to v1.2 but we are using a nocd for v1.0 even though the game "may" still run with the v1.0 nocd the updates wont take effect (depending on which files etc are changed). Hope that makes it more straight forward for you. (you may have problems online when playing with a lower version nocd as there are sometimes many multiplayer fixes done with game updates that wont take effect when using lower version nocd. (thats why ppl use the same version crack to what the game is updated to). In short it all depends on the game and whats updated in it. There are many games that the player dose benifit from the update even though he/she is using a lower version nocd

And there is updates made to the exe file in this patch. In fact the size of the exe file increases to about 12megs in size. So yes, if you play with an older no-cd exe you will be missing some of the updates.

True, I found out as well that many changes were done on the exe file itself, so a new no-cd crack by logic is needed.

bluesdealer 29-04-2005 14:25

So, is there any chance of this crack being made? I've been told that the patch is Securom 7 while the original is Securom 5, but Securom 7 has recently been cracked, right?

Arkanius 30-04-2005 03:31

Ive been waiting for the crack the day the patch was released... and I still wait :o

dederon 01-05-2005 11:57

How to copy kotor II with Securom emulation?

mazielony 01-05-2005 14:11

maybe u know something about my problem wieth crashes game into windows!!what could i do with this?!there isn't crack to ver 2,1!!(my post is under this)plz help me!!!

Nonaime 02-05-2005 11:41

So is there any1 working on a nocd crack for the 1.0b patch yet?
It has been out for a while now(over 3 weeks) :confused:

teebee 03-05-2005 07:58

still waiting... :E

dederon 03-05-2005 09:04

exe v1.0b use Securom v7........its so bad...............

Nonaime 03-05-2005 10:35

So does that mean there won't be any nocd for the patch??

Securerom 7 can be cracked, right? :(

ARCHmudo 04-05-2005 08:52

does this site have crackers? why aren't we getting anymore info? I am just curious why we can request cracks if we are aren't getting info by staff about the progress of it.

Luci 04-05-2005 10:57

you do not request a crack to be made.
you'll never make someone make you a crack

What is the point of requesting cracks after two weeks then? Isn't this a rule here?

Fileforums do not make cracks!

You can request saying you would like to know if one exists. Not for one to be made! Again Fileforums do not make cracks!

The staff can only give the info they have found on the net!

Yes there are various members of fileforums who can and do make cracks! But as Luci has already stated, doesnt mean they are going to make 'you' one!

ARCHmudo 04-05-2005 11:17

What's all this about making ME one, I believe I am not the only one to have requested, right? It's the whole community that needs it, not just ME, so stop saying ME ME ME, I am merely asking for info so don't get all grumpy on me.

Thanks anyway

No-one is gettin all grumpy on 'you'! I was just informing 'you' how it is! That's all. ;)
Lighten up and quit with the ME ME ME! Makes 'you' sound like a little kid! :D
There is really no point in constantly asking for a particular crack all the time. If and when one is available it will eventually appear on GameCopyWorld. ;)

Take a look how many times you said 'You' (meaning me) or how many times you ended your sentences with exclamation marks :P

@ARCHmudo
Um it was meant to mean 'you'! ;)
You may also notice I finished with either a ;) or :D
I was having fun with you! :p

bluesdealer 06-05-2005 12:43

Has there ever been an instance with a popular game, such as Kotor2, that a patch was released and there was never a crack? I'm no cracker (in fact, i suck at any kind of programming), but I've heard from several sources that Securom 7 has been cracked.

Arkanius 07-05-2005 14:20

Uh what the hell

http://spacetarget.com/games/pc_sw_k...public_2.shtml

However the files are still the 1.0 version... (or atleast the zips)

Nonaime 08-05-2005 03:53

Those files are the old 1.0 cracks.
The new patch make changes to the .exe file so the game won't be patched if you use the old cracks.

It's been a while since the 1.0b patch were released and we still haven't got a new crack for it... :(

Is there anyone working on a new crack or is KOTOR2 the "forgotten" game over at GCW?

Yup, the files are still 1.0 cracks. WTF?

and the size of the download is 12.2MB. Ergo, almost all of the changes in the 1.0b patch were made to the executable, so there's very little point using the original fixed exe with the patch in this case. :(

To those who have installed the patch and haven't played the game since - a re-install will not overwrite your saved games.

(Mind you, this quote was from mid-April and actually said 'a few days', and we're still waiting :mad: )

So it's not such a big deal for most players that we don't have a 1.0b no-cd patch yet. However, anyone with an Intel i915 chipset will be frustrated, and there were about half a dozen gameplay issues fixed (most of the fixes were cosmetic stuff, art issues, text/voice mismatches, etc)

Besides, most of the fixes were for dark side issues, and frankly, you mess with the dark side of the force, you get what's coming. :p

bluesdealer 11-05-2005 14:14

I guess I could just use Alcohol 120% to make a copy of the cd image, but I'm reaaaally running low on HD space and don't need to needlessly squander that space with a cd image. Also, doesn't mounting an image take up system resources?

mazielony 12-05-2005 02:12

I'm still watiing for crack to v 1,0b cos i have a terrible problem. when i want to travel to any planet my game crashes?! i'm trying this on 3 computers and everywhere is the same result (i see windows desktop)!!
i hope that patch will help me!

What patch? It doesn't look like one is going to be made if no one has done it by now.
