Able to play bf1942 online with nocd cracks?

Razor6 · Nov 8, 2003, 05:23 PM

I was under the impression that some people are able to play bf1942 online while using a nocd crack but if I try it I get "Data differs from server" errors. Is anybody able to play online with a nocd crack, is there some secret I'm not aware of, or will I just have to keep the cd in the drive?

SumB · Nov 8, 2003, 05:40 PM

Yes you can play online with no-cd cracks. The error only occurs if you apply a crack with an older BF1942.exe than current.

Razor6 · Nov 8, 2003, 05:47 PM

But I've tried several from past releases including the current 1.5 and it still never works, tried reinstalling too.

€L1T€ · Nov 8, 2003, 05:52 PM

download clonecd and make an image of you original bf1942 cd then download daemon tools and mount the clonecd image as a virtual drive.
thats the only way i have been able to play without having to have a disk in.

SumB · Nov 8, 2003, 06:43 PM

That's that necessary you're using a multiplayer crack. Try this one. I'll attest to it working because I use it.

jonmcc33 · Nov 8, 2003, 07:19 PM

I use one too. You can download it here, tested and works as well for 1.5.

That's the one I've already tried, it works for SP but not MP, for me atleast.

jonmcc33 · Nov 8, 2003, 08:02 PM

Do as it says, extract the contents with their directory locations preserved. If all files are in the proper location then it works flawlessly. I haven't done anything different with my BF1942.

Razor6 · Nov 8, 2003, 11:11 PM

I replaced all the files that it has cracks for except for the 1st expansion pack since I don't have that one installed and hence no Xpack1 folder. I still couldn't do online MP. I kept the backups of the originals in their folders, is that bad? How about having the patch data folder that has Xpack1 and Xpack2 folders, is it normal to have those too?

Um, who said he doesn't have it? You use a no CD crack so that you don't need the lame CD in the drive when you play the game.

Seems like you have experience with piracy to be assuming off the bat that he's wanting a no CD crack for that reason...

People will have bought it if they're playing online - there is a CD key verifier. Regardless of there being a CD in or not.

warez present. i know u may own the game but this is still telling many people how to warez the game, good job like we need a bunch of retards who dont deserve to play the game coming in to spawn camp us all. lol peace

The no-cd cracks cannot subvert the checks for a valid and unique cd-key when you go online. Either people own a legal copy or they're SOL when it comes to multiplayer.

As stated, you do need a valid CD key when playing the game. That's what you pay for with the game anyway. The software means nothing without a valid CD key so take your problem causing attitude to the OT forum where it belongs.

Beak · Nov 9, 2003, 03:37 PM

Yep you need a legit cd key to play theres no piracy unless theres 100 people useing the same key and only 1 online at a time.

Out of about those 2000 servers on how many do you really think are pirating a copy thered be no room on your favorite servers if so.

DL'ing the file now ill dump my cd tonight almost the only game i play is DC.

Bootvi · Nov 9, 2003, 03:40 PM

I lost my original CD's, but I still got my ligit CD KEY!!

Anyhow, on every new patch release, I simply reinstall, and copy my settings folder to the new one.

Swune · Nov 9, 2003, 03:42 PM

yes image it, i do that now instead of cracking stuff, never need to cracks for new patches, possiable faster loading,

use alchol120% but do a search on google for "game copyprotection" cause when you rip it with alchol you need to pick the copy protection type, then rip it and mound it with alchol.

sechs · Nov 9, 2003, 08:34 PM

Use of no-cd "cracks" is not only against your license, it is illegal. Make a copy of your disk or use a disk image program, as has been mentioned.

Exploit the weaknesses of copy protection; do not circumvent it!

Fuku2 · Nov 10, 2003, 12:48 AM

I bought the game and I'm sick and tired of how long it takes to load a level. Half the time is spent checking the CD I swear! Everyone else is already playing when I finally get into the level.

How is it illegal to use a nocd crack? I bought the game and all the expansions. I have not made copies and given them to my friends. My cd key is mine and mine alone. You say to "exploit the weaknesses of copy protection" and yet you say that one method of getting around said copy protection is illegal while the other is fine? To me, both are ways to get around the copy protection. Both seem perfectly legit if you own the original game.

Please do not generalize.

Because this practice is illegal in the united states, does not mean it's illegal in the rest of the world. If it were ever taken to the court, your license would crumble like a cardhouse due to the way it conflicts with the laws of many countries here in Europe.

IAmIronSam · Nov 10, 2003, 09:17 AM

Same here, I bought BF1942 and it's expansions. I haven't bootlegged it for anyone. I just use the NO-CD cracks from gamecopyworld.com so I don't have to swap out the disc every time the map changes. It's a pain in the ass.

You are legally allowed to make a back up copy of your software. If this requires using a cracked EXE so that your paid for software still works then it is not a crime.

Also, why pay the money for a disk imaging program? Some software you can just copy right to your HDD and burn it back up. That's what requires the no CD crack.

sechs · Nov 10, 2003, 12:40 PM

Modifying or use of modified game executables is against the user license. If you'd like to challenge the license in court, feel free; but until a court in your jurisdiction rules otherwise, it is illegal to use "cracks" everywhere that you can legally possess the game.

It depends on the software and it's license agreement you mean?

Accually you do have a legal right to make a copy or backup of any software youve purchased legally and have the original product your making a copy of.

As far as nocd cracks are concerned theres absolutly zillch hacking done other than you starting up shortcut on your own pc privately.
Theres nothing outside of your pc that the nocd crack will do. Very likely noone is to never see a court hearing over a crack unless you are pirating and your server was confiscated by the FBI, likely it wont even get a charge then since it is for personal useage no hacking. Thats almost saying typing shortcuts in you original shortcut to cut corners or editing a file to get a game to play faster removing movies, or the old delete register folder. I dont think these will ever land me any legal fines as you describe it as.

Click game started end of th ecracks use.

Now your os if its up to date is another subject all together that why i originally have a corprate copy one free the other paid for at a auction.

Thought i had a bad copy after all the folder corruptions.

Beak · Nov 10, 2003, 08:10 PM

Heres a site that has been running for 6 or more years i dont have the exact time its been up but its there. If there was any real laws broken they would have been busted so long ago and disappeared.

They use to have a explaination faq to whats legal, i cant find it though.

Support them and make this your home page.

ill pass on that note. Theres a couple more that are just as old just cant recall them.

Copying games is perfectly legal (at least here in the US). Generally speaking, as long as the copies are for personal use, nobody cares.

Modifying or use of modified executables is not kosher.
