Company of Heroes OF 2.600
 

I'm new to the forum, but I've been using GCW Cracks and NoCDs-DVDs for years now, they're great :D

I do not own Tales of Valor however, and I cannot find a way (neither in GCW nor anywhere else) to crack regular Opposing Fronts patched to 2.600. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks ;)

Do you need ToV to get the 2.6 patch?

No, you don't.

So why mention you dont have ToV then???

Anyways have you tried a mini-image?

Because you can get the 2.600 patch with both, and there's actually a 2.600 ToV crack on GCW (which I tried BTW).

Yes, I tried, and It doesn't seem to work either...

Well according to what I can see, OF's patches only goto v 2.103

There is no 2.600 patch for OF, but there is a 2.600 just for CoH itself.

Yes, the patch is for CoH itself and not specific for ToV or OF or even vanilla, but the way they're cracked is different for every version, so cracking ToV 2.600 isn't the same as cracking OF 2.600 or VCoH 2.600.

See im confused here, you have said you have regular OF patched to 2.600 but OF cant be patched to 2.600.

So its all confusing.

But if you try the very latest daemon tools, and mount a mini-image for the version you have. I.e. dont use CoH, ToV mini-image if you have the OF media, so you would use the OF mini-image.

Other than that, it has been quite a number of years since the patches so chances are there is no crack. So it does look like mini-images are the way to go.

I'm sorry for confusing you, I see you're trying to help me and I appreciate it :)

I'll try to explain better: first, I installed OF, then I unlocked the vanilla CoH features (mainly the campaign) with my CD-key. Then, I downloaded all the latest patches and ran the executables, all of them up to 2.600. I guess that's OF patched to 2.600.

Just checking: I download the mini-image, mount on Daemon Tools (I have Pro 4.30) and just run the game, right?

Make sure its latest pro :) I think is 4.35, you should be able to update it.

A thing to try is, if the mini-image fails on a SCSI virtual device, enable Virtual IDE devices and mount on that. Hopefully that will work.

It might work with the latest DT Lite and SPTD driver 1.60 too.

Thanks... Should I use YASU?

EDIT: It finally worked, thanks guys :D

I'm in exactly the same situation! I have Company of Heroes AND Opposing Fronts, and I've install Opposing Fronts and unlocked the CoH campaign using the serial number and media validation. Up to v2.103 I could load the game and play any campaign without either disk using a NoCD crack. However, having recently reinstalled everything, now it prompts you to update and the Relic Downloader keeps downloading patches until it reaches v2.600. Then you have the Tales of Valor campaigns visible in the menu, but locked unless you buy them and none of the cracks work - the v2.600 NoCD crack for Tales of Valor will load the game, but ask you for the Opposing Fronts disk before the menu.

Yes, the mini image does work, but it would be nice to have a NoCD crack. Don't suppose anyone reading this could make one? I'm guessing whoever made the v2.600 one only removed the ToV media check and not the OF one as well.

As long as your installation is using the CD key to check online with relic for your entitlement. wouldn't you just go out and buy the game for a fiver?

I thought I didn't need the DVD's anymore after 2.1000 anyway (might be off there) since they check your key at logon.

I don't know about the online checks as my desktop doesn't have an internet connection unless I run an ethernet cable to it. All I know is that the CoH:ToV v2.600 NoCD crack does not remove the media validation for CoH:OF v2.600. It loads, then asks for the disk. Obviously I can use the actual disk, but currently the only way for me to play the game without having the disk in the drive is to use the mini image.

The readme for the v2.600 crack says 'I made the crack just using a hex editor lol and it has been tested for 15 mins and it worked correctly', so if it's that quick to crack it should be a simple job to remove the OF CD check from the file as well. I would do it myself if had any clue about how to crack, but I don't. :(
