Has anyone tested the new NO-CD-Crack from Gamecopyworld? Does it have the same problems like the one for 1.4 with "data defers from sever"? I had a lot of problems with that one so I don`t want to patch until I Know.

Thanks!

I Installed the NOCD but I couldn't connect to sever, but I changed the Mulitiplay gamesply.host file with my old one and was able to connect with no problem ??. Beats hell out of me why it worked with the changed file. Thx guys ever who made the NOCD the last time I thanked the guy which name was on download site, and got blasted for given credit for being the person that didn't do it.So ever who you are thx,s. a bunch.

Personally, I didn't think it was fair you got blasted for that, after all you're only trying to thank, right ? Unfortunately there's lots of cheap ass copycats in the game cracking business, so people are (understandably) a bit touchy about it. In any case, don't worry about it...

i've tested the one by iMSDOX, but i could connect to online game servers, but the lag was terrible. it was not internet lag, (T1 connect) it was video lag. certain patches, like for 1.4 by Krondike, and Joschiv did the same thing. by i found one that work perfect, not i have to wait again.

Uninstalled BF1942 and RTR then deleted the main folder.
Installed BF1942 then RTR and added the 1.45 (full) patch.
Made backups of the files that the NOCD replaces.
Copied the NOCD files into the BF1942 folder.
BF1942 loads fine.
Setup a 1.45 dedicated server using the BF1942 dedicated server install on a different computer.
Tried to join and got "Data Differs"
Tried to join an EA online server and got the same result

Hi,
got the same problem ("data differs from server").
I have installed BF 1.45 on both a server+client in my lan, and then the immersion crack. No expansion installed.

change 'renderer.allowallrefreshrates' to 1 in your videodefault.con

crack works 100% (i have german version, but english language installed) even on the official EAUK servers (they are even running in 'pure' mode! )

Try to save the original bf1942.exe as bf1942.org.

good work @ immersion

what am I doing wrong? the .rar file only includes a "Mods" map and that's all. I've replaced my old "Mods" map with this new one and now it doesn't work. The only file that's being replaced is "mod.dll" and it's only 4 kb big.....?

update your version of winrar!

Well I use wanace 2.5 and it ectracted to the 1942 dir with no problems.even put the 2xpack in lol.But I had to replace the hostgamespy.dll befor I could connect . The first time I ecxtracted the nocd crack I used Xace and only got the 4kb mod.dll I think that is your problem,you haft to get winrar.
My problem I had could be I used winace and it misread a file and that is why I had to use the other file from the old nocd!!!.

Same problem here.I was using nocd on v1.4 with no probs.
Incremental patch refused to install so I got the full 107mb form official site.
Totally uninstalled game including all directories and folders.
Reinstalled game.
Reinstalled Road to Rome.
Patched to 1.45 with official patch ok.
Manually copied all mod.dll's,bf1942.exe,bf1942.org &gamespy dll into correct folders.Left out exp2 as obviously I don't have yet.
Game now crashes to desktop on starting,never mind online.
I have a genuine retail cd key which I played online with on 1.4 with never a problem.
What am I doing wrong guys?

you need to do this after every new patch as they always reset this setting !


After the 5th or 6th patch people should know this, i think :confused:

Man I was having a rite dumbass day yesterday and I didnt snap out of it until I got home from work. Found out on my home computer what I was doing wrong on my install of the NOCD. Thinking that the bf1942.org was there for people that dont backup their bf1942.exe and can revert when a new patch comes out I didnt copy it to the main folder as I had a nice neat backup of all the files that the NOCD replaces. How silly of me. LOL
Runs like a dream now.

Thanks go out to GCW for having such a great network and also the people involved in making these cracks.

BTW did you know that many peoples BF1942 CDs are breaking in their CD drives as they have to have them in to play the game (if they dont know about NOCDs). EA are aware of it and state its user error thats causing the break even though its only the BF1942 CDs that are busting.

EA just kick ass :rolleyes:

I don't know anything about what you talking about, Hell If I new that a hot topic of warez it wouldn't been released at GCW with the nocd in my book;am i right !!!!. I haven't broke any kind of rules that I know of, I only mention what was installed in my 1942 dir from the NOCD I downloaded from GCW. The only thing I can remember doing wrong was maken a bump in a covert way,this past week and was corrected on it, and correctly so.
nothing personal here just expaining my reasons for mention what is bad to mention.ever what that bad is.
BTW I,m lost when it comes to all this stuff I just use the nocd,s so I don't haft to hear the CDROM whin, and I thx the guys are doing a good job so I can keep my sanity.

I don't think krondike was referring to you, Sharkmeat. And if he was, he can pm me with an explanation 'cause I sure can't find anything wrong here. Yes there are people talking about the 'xpack2' directory which is included in the new crack, but as far as I'm concerned that's ok. Now go along and play nice children ! :D

Well, if anyone has the problem of the crack not working all together.. make sure you notice this little tid-bit in the .nfo Extract Crack.rar into the install folder (preserve dirnames used in the rar)

That was extremely useful for myself since I kept getting the good 'ol "insert the cd into the cd drive" error.

Please excuse that I am a noob. I was able to use the 1.4 crack but am having difficulty getting the Immersion 1.45 crack up and running. I understand many of you have had success and that some or perhaps many have not.

My OS is windows XP and just can't figure out how to place the files correctly =/ On one occasion I got it to the start screen but when I attempted to connect to a game it said 'data differs from server' Now that I reinstalled the game I get a black screen as if it loading and then it crashes.

If someone will be kind enough to take 2 minutes to give instructions to some of us less enabled I'd really appreciate it =)

The annoying whine of my CD ROM is driving me crazy.

Sincerely,

Stomp

I cant play any online server with this crack :(

I installed the patch, game ask for CD

then I extracted the crack in BF root folder, now I can play offline but get "error connecting" any server from The All Seeign Eye


change 'renderer.allowallrefreshrates' to 1 in your videodefault.con

I never had to do this (1.31, 1.4...) and when I open this file in notepad, the value is already set to 1

also I have a valid cd keys

anyone can help / point me to a working crack?

Eagle
05-09-2003, 01:39
the renderer.allowblabla is only for win2000/win xp, but since the majority is using these OS and the win98/me users are dying out it is _very_ likely the people with the blackscreen problem have to set this setting

doesn't count if you have mods installed or not. i got DC installed and it works. only thing that 1.45 changed is that you cannot start normal BF with the RTR-CD anymore. This was possible with 1.4 and less!

I'm using BF1942 v 1.45 with the IMSDOX NO-CD crack.
Joining other cracked servers works fine...
But when I create a internet game it does not show up in the server browser :-(

Anyone know what could be wrong ?

I've been playing this game since before it was released in stores (ie. the demo's offered online at the EA sites), and have been able to patch the game successfully since. This update however is causing me some problems. When applying the nocd, I can start the game no problem but when trying to play online I get a message telling me I have an invalid CD key. This isn't the case as I've bought the game and use a legitimate key.
I haven't seen a similar problem in the rest of this thread so I'm wondering if this was addressed in a thread for a previous update.

If not, I'm hope I'm not hooped and have to play with the bloody disk.

Cheers.

!!Off Topic!!

I found this is a official forum news. on www.battlefield1942.com



CD-Swapping in 1.45
We are looking at a fix for this. The issue isn't just that the Battlefield SafeDisk check has to work with Road to Rome and Secret Weapons, but we have to ensure that it works with mods as well. This has required a lengthier development time. However, we are dedicated to getting a fix in place ASAP. Please stay tuned for updates.

Virtual Drives
Is Secret Weapons not working on your machine? Do you have a virtual CD-drive installed. To fix, uninstall both Secret Weapons and the virtual drive. Reinstall Secret Weapons using your standard CD/DVD-drive. That should fix the issue. Get out there and kick SW-butt.

CDKey Misprint
Some copies of Secret Weapons had a misprinted CDKey on the actual CD-case. This results in the lower part of a letter being cut-off. The only letter this affects is the letter Q which appears like an O. If you have trouble installing Secret Weapons, check to see if you have the letter O in your CDkey. If so, try substituting Q for it. If the problem persists, please contact our Tech Support and they will be able to help sort out the issue.

Maybe that would help some people! :D

Edit:
Comment about CD-Swapping:
Why dose EA even think about a fix for that? Do what other companies do, screw the SafeDisc protection after sometime! You don't need to have protection at so long time. EA is the only company that don't give out games, without protection. And that is SafeDisc protection. Rockstar Game; GTA 3 patch 1.1 no SafeDisc, SI Game's; Championchip manager 4.08 no SecuROM, Codemasters; Operation Flashpoint 1.92 BETA no SafeDisc (and no Fade but there are fade error message); many companys that have problems with protection often take off the protection! Do it you to EA Games, "challange everything"....(is there slogan...oh dear...:rolleyes:)

I guess I should start with the WHY.. for all the wankers out there, I want to crack it because I cant frikkin stand when I reboot and just as it's about to popup the log in the CD starts spinning and I have to wait... I can't STAND everytime I launch a game and i gotta wait for the cd to spin up and then down. Okay now that we're past that I am getting a "data differs from server" message after installing the nocd. I tried both of the version from GCW. I see some people have been able to play without CD. I am not one of them. I placed all the files in my mod folder as per the extraction. I replaced my .exe and I receive the data message. Can someone maybe make a cd crack that works for more people?
