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?)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

@ARCHmudo

Fileforums do not make cracks!

I am just curious why we can request 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!

we aren't getting info by staff about the progress of it.
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

@ARCHmudo
so don't get all grumpy on me
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. ;)

ARCHmudo
04-05-2005, 11:38

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.

Uh what the hell

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?

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

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.

Also,
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

(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

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?

After the patch,I finally got into playing it bug free mostly.......but had been using the CD,I didn't know it was being problematic to get a fix for.

All I know,is that I never could get an image of the play disc to work,and I ripped using every method known to the internet a month ago and gave up.

Ive since uninstalled it,I got bored with it anyway......the first one was
classic....this one is just buggy and the ending is....well...bad.

I hope BIOWARE gets involved with the next one.

Does it crash when you use your original CDs?
If it does I doubt the crack will help, since it won't solve anything that the patch doesn't.
I too would like a crack, but since I liked the game a lot I had to bear using CDs or risk frequent crashes. :(

Okay, you are basically trying to update US version by UK patch or vice versa... Try the International patch page if you are UK. Note that there is no way to tell US from UK. I think you have the US version and you should try to go straight for v1.0b :D

TippeX
03-08-2006, 01:35
0xc0000005 = memory exception error, either memory isn't there, or the memory isnt readable (or writable, depending on what the code was trying to do)...

possible symptoms ->

1. crack not designed for the os you're running on (some cracks only work on xp or higher)
2. bad crack
3. bad video drivers
4. bad system/user configuration
