1_Copy all the content from your DVD to a temp folder.
2_Romove: Comrade folder, directx9c, punkbustersvc, Sandbox2, vc80_redist, Czech.cab, Englis~1.cab, French.cab, Hungar~1.cab, Polish.cab, PunkBu~1.cab and AutoRunCD.exe.
3_ Create a new folder and move AllOth~1.cab and AllOth~2.cab inside.
4a_Uncompress AllOth~1.cab. DELETE music.pak file. Now, uncompress animations.pak (use winzip) to other temp folder.
4b_Search for Multiplayer folders or files. right click on the temp folder -> Search... -> and ''With text:'' multiplayer. Delete all the files with this text (In the file name). (maybe a lot of files appears but anything with this text, don't delete this files.).
5_Recompress the files extracted with winzip (not the temp folder), Select all the files and folders -> Right click -> winzip -> add to zip file... -> not change any winzip option.
6_Raname the *.zip to animations.pak
7_Ok, you need do the same with the other *.pak files. Remember, rename shadercache.pak1 to *.pak, extract and when you finish of recompress with winzip, rename the file to shadercache.pak1
8_Download my fake music.pak file: Attachment 555 and put it with the others .pak files.
9_Open WinCab -> Add file to gabinet -> Select all the files in respective order, and one per time. So you need click six times on add file to gabinet button.
10_Click on option -> in "custom disksize is:" put 470000 -> Click OK -> Change disksize to Custom. -> Click on Gabinet -> Save... -> change the file name to save to AllOth~.cab. When the compress process finishes, you'll get two files, the first with the name AllOth~.cab, so rename this to AllOth~1.cab and the second with the name AllOth~2.cab, it's ok.
11_ Move the two files to the original temp folder game.
12_Move Binari~1.cab to a other temp folder. Uncompress -> Recompress with WinCab (May be in this step you can delete the Crysis.exe file and remplace with a cracked file, I'm not sure). Move to the original temp folder.
13_Repit AllOth~1.cab steps with LowSpe~1.cab. Remember search and remove multiplayers files or folders. When you'll to recompress with wincab you need put in option -> diskzise a mayor value like 950000000 and choose custom disksize in the main window.
14_Ok, repit the process with Object~1.cab but with a exeption in wincab, you need compress the file with MSZIP compression. (It's very important).
15_Remplace the English.cab file with my ripped file (It's the same but I convert the audio files to a less quality, you can create a patch with the original .pak file inside, later): Attachment 554
16_Download my Crysis.msi modified file and remplace the original file: Attachment 553
17_Ok, All done!.

Now you've a 4,37Gb (4.698.898.432 bytes) game.

quality of new audio ?
no music ?mean what we loost in game ?

As I said, you can create a patch with the original english audio (It's only voices) and music later...
The englhis original audio:
Mp2 = 90 bitrate
My ripped audio
Mp2 = 32 bitrate
It's only voices characters. Not sound effects.

No ambiental Music in the game.

Don't Cry... ahaha

Have no idea on the others though...

I know this entries are added by Crysis.
Where variable "{app}" is your installation path (like C:\Program Files\Crysis\)

For Win XP

Code:

HKLM\Software\Crytek\Crysis --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "GUID"; ValueData: {4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962}

HKLM\Software\Crytek\Crysis --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "InstallDir"; ValueData: "{app}"

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\GamesToFindOnWindowsUpgrade\{4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962} -->  ValueType: string; ValueName: "GameInstallPath"; ValueData: "{app}"

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\GamesToFindOnWindowsUpgrade\{4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962} --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "GDFBinaryPath"; ValueData: "{app}\Tools\VistaEssentials.dll"

For WinXp x64:

Code:

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Crytek\Crysis --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "GUID"; ValueData: {4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962}

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Crytek\Crysis --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "InstallDir"; ValueData: "{app}"

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\GamesToFindOnWindowsUpgrade\{4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962} --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "GameInstallPath"; ValueData: "{app}"

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\GamesToFindOnWindowsUpgrade\{4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962} --> ValueType: string; ValueName: "GDFBinaryPath"; ValueData: "{app}\Tools\VistaEssentials.dll"

Note: The value GUID {4042E8D4-E440-4C74-B966-BFFE37B19962} is a random number based on some variables of your machine, including system time, etc. Is not the same from one installation to other, but is the same inside each installation.

I dont know where is the Serial. Maybe in other Reg key that I dont know where is.
