Company Of Heroes

[HPman]

same issue here, and since I lost my original Key and my DVD I am messed up...
could pass the CD-Check since it seems you have to be online and connect to relic servers to validate your account >_<
Oh well at least the achieved to make me buy the game. Ordered it few mins ago for 15€

because... after the release of Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts, Relic (the developer) decide to upgrade the original Company of Heroes to allow their owners to play on-line with those having the newest one.
So, there's a patch for Company of Heroes (1.71 to 2.101) to match Opposing Front version and this patch comes with Securom and CD Check.
That's the reason behind the crack on GCW.

The game is not boring, you may not have the same time and patience to play this updated CoH as you may have it when it was release.
Don't forget the games are made for updated machines with new cores and new graphic cards engines which gives you new graphical experiences and can lead you to fully enjoy the game.
That's why today I update my PC often, when CoH was released I own a Athlon 800 now with the release of OF I own Athlon 64 3500+ (big difference) and I will update my PC next month to enjoy Pro Street and other new games.
If you have a minimum requirement machine is normal you feel frustrated with the game being slow and complain about it in the forums. Update often and you'll play better.

CoH:OF is cool, just need 10 more patch to behave just like the original COH :P

hi
i install the 2.201 update and i aply the crack .. but the game needs the original dvd to validate ... when i put the dvd all ok...

so the crack is bad .... (the 2.101 work with the no cd from flt)

thanks

[Joe Forster/STA]

Have you applied both halves of the crack? There are two packages to download.

[denseman]

Same here! After installing v2.201 I replaced the original .exe (Achiv: 3.2 mb) and the original rs.dll (RS.DLL v2.101 - FairLight).

After the intro you get two options: continue or back to windows. While continue should validate the media and bring you to the main menu it gives an error and asks where you get coh from. There are three options. Retailstore, steam and d2d. For the first option you must insert dvd / second and third option will establish a i-connection.

No clue. I dont want to use my dvd.... in / out / in / out.....

Suggestions?

[chron]

for me the crack works, just hit continue when it asks for cd.

[denseman]

As I said, after clicking continue, the media validation fails and i have to choose where I got coh from.

Do you have coh or opf?

I tried everything. Even if I delete the rs folder and start the game...same behavior. That makes no sense for me?

[Muji-FightR]

Dumb question (I guess):

I was going to order CoH as my new GFX card will have Opposing Fronts shipped so I thought why play an addon (even if it's standalone) and not the main game :?
Always wanted to play it anyway, just not with my crappy 9800

Anyway...I found patches for both the main game and the addon that patch them to version 2.101 (1.7 GB wtf). Then there seem to be patches that work for both versions ?
How does that work, is it really standalone ? The cracks on GCW are identical, too ??

[chron]

yes, files should be the same after patching coh and cohf to the latest version.

The different campaigns are protected by the different serials.

[Muji-FightR]

Meh, just wanted to confirm the crack is still asking for a dvd...
I applied the patch but didnt notice I still had the DVD inside, so it worked at first...
The next day, I started it without any DVD inside the drive and it kept asking me where I got my copy from, not allowing me to get past that dialog.
The game used to ask for the DVD all the time even with a disk inside, but at least it continued behaving as normal, without a DVD it just doesnt work at all.

So either it is a Backup-CD (or whatever the exact terminology is) or plainly a bad crack...

[caki]

Well Muji, if you're really desperate to try out CoH without the DVD you can get the CoH OF Beta (see relic website for details). For CD keys type in all 0's and then it will let you play fine online.

I just bought my new COH dx10 game this March 2008, its always asking me to put the dvd on the optical drive every time I play it. I tried all the cracks but nothing is successful not to ask for the drive. I tried to patch it just to know what the version of it, but nothing works. It just say that I have the latest version. If I'm going to hit the continue when I am ask to put the DVD, it keeps on coming back. Unlike my old COH, I don't have a problem with it. I have the COH game of the year DVD, it sucks. I don't want to use my disc everytime I play this game.

Is it possible that this happens because of Vista, I just build my new computer and I am now on Vista Ultimate 32. I don't have a problem with the performance since I got the new hardwares. Its just that I don't want to use my orig disc everytime I play.

No I've cracked my COH gold edition no probs on VISTA...

Here's what I did....(This cracks both the original AND OF)

..............


1. Install Opposing Fronts
2. Apply ALL the latest official patches
3. Get the cracked .exe and the cracked rs.dll from gamecopyworld.com and overwrite the old originals
4. Start the game
5. Press continue when asked for "media verification"

It will verify automatically with no disc in the drive - If it doesn't you haven't applied the crack properly - simple - your fault.

Now. If you want to unlock the original campaign

1. DISCONNECT your internet.
2. Install latest DaemonTools and download latest YASU
3. Download COH mini image from gamecopyworld.com
4. mount it in daemon tools, all emulation options enabled and start YASU with cloaking options enabled
5. Start the game
6. Unlock the campaign mode with your original legit serial
7. When asked where you purchased the game say "Retail Store"...

Your disc will now be verified, well actually your mini image...Once its done it which should be instantly...

Close COH, and re-enable your internet connection
