View Full Version : Freedom Force vs 3rd Reich (European Edition) - any no-cd/fixed exe?
I have the European(UK) edition of FF vs 3rd Reich, and the fixed exe available on the website doesn't work with this version (different copy protection).
Does anyone know of a no-cd/fixed exe for this edition, or if one is to be released soon?
This copy protection is simply horrible, it takes a while to authenticate the cd, it keeps the cd spinning non-stop for some reason, it delays the loading of levels to check the cd, ...

Mine is about 2 mb big...are you talking about warez or what?
unpossible that there is a crack with a size of 800 megab. :confused:
Mine is about 2 mb big...:
Is that one for the European edition, or the one posted on Gamecopyworld for the US release?
If it is for the European edition, where can I find it?

the german version is protected by starforce which decrypts an 800mb file (see nfo of silentgate)

I've got the german version...the crack is about 2.5 mb big and it WORKS...so what's the deal? i bet that there is a crack for the german version that is NOT 800 mb big...
btw: maybe the naps of silentgate just hit the wrong key on their keyboard, it could be possible... ;) 800 mb of encrypted files are not that realistic, eh?
For me a crack of 2.5 mb works with the german version (english + german subtitles, the only "german version" you can get, there is no one with german sound and voices) :rolleyes:
Certain Starforce games require the whole CD to authenticate, which would be 800mb with outside edges

it's just we're talking about the NoCD not about the size of the cd or the size of the sectors StarForce will check during CD-autentification...
we talk about the size of the files which have to be overwritten to play the game without CD. For my version it works with one of a size of ~2.5 mb...
if it was 800mb i wouldn't even have downloaded it with ISDN, impossible ^^ :mad: probably in the install dir of the game (didn't check this, i've uninstalled it yet) there ain't no single file with a size of 800 mb....isn't there one on GCW? If not i could upload it...but indeed it's strange :confused:
Remember it may be 800mb unpacked but perhaps alot smaller packed ;)

Yeah, yeah...but i doubt it's 800 mb unpacked and zipped only 2.5 mb ;)
just unzipped it: 5.2 mb (not very close to 800 mb :D )
Yeah yours maybe but not the 800mb one which is the one im talking about.

Yeah yours maybe but not the 800mb one which is the one im talking about.
Do you actually have this 800 mb NoCD on your HD? Does it work for your game?
But why should i download a crack of 800m instead of one with only 2.5 m ??? :confused:
Or are u just joking...?
Look you dont see what im saying
Unpacked it maybe 800mb in size
But packed with Winrar it may be 120mb or even less.

I SEE what you are saying...when it's unpacked and smaller when it's zipped/compressed and so on...bla..bla..bla , i already knew that before :confused: do you think i'm so stupid or what? :D
What i wanted to know is, why there really is such a big noCD even if there is a 5 mb small one...it doesn't make a sense....
one more time: have you seen/used/downloaded this file and does it work cause i think it's a fake ;)
I hope you understand me... :)
Then send your Crack to Gamecopyworld that we all can have it or send it at least to me. I have pmed you my email address.

* Warum DVD und nicht wie RETAIL 2CD?:
Das Spiel wurde in Deutschland auf 2 CDs ausgeliefert und durch
Starforce 3.4.76.0 geschuetzt. Dieser Schutz beinhaltete geschuetzte
exe und dll Dateien sowie VM protected DATA files in einer
848.477.896 Bytes grossen resource1.dat die voll gestopft mit daten ist.
Da dieses auch zu gross fuer eine 3 CD Variante war haben wir uns
entschieden eine DVD zu erzeugen was bei 3CDs ja eigentlich auch viel
sinnvoller ist.
* Warum keine 2 CD Variante mit komplett homemade installer?
Um es einfach auszudruecken :) der Aufwand dieses Spiel zu cracken war
schon groesser als es das Spiel jamls wert sein kann und dann auch noch
viele Stunden Installshield files zu erzeugen ist halt einfach eine
abartige Idee die gleich verworfen wurde.
* Ist DTP verrueckt?
In unseren Augen ja :) weil es macht absolut keinen Sinn ein Spiel so
zu schuetzen, dass quasi die komplette ingame Performance dafuer
geopfert wird. Ladezeiten mit dieser cracked Version sind um bis
zu 78% schneller als bei der Orginalen. Ich denke das sagt alles
aus was man zu Starforce und DTP zu sagen hat. Ein 30 Euro game mit
Bewertungen unter 70% so zu verpfuschen - na schoenen Dank auch -
und mit diesem Release war das Geld fuer den Schutz so oder so
rausgeworfenes Geld :).
* Brauch ich nach der Installation die resource1.dat noch in meinem
Installationsverzeichnis?
Ganz einfach NEIN, da die gecrackte exe aber auch gar nichts mehr
mit Starforce am hut hat :). Ihr koennt die resource1.dat und
die protect.dll loeschen, da diese nichts mit dem Spiel zu tun
haben und nur dem Kopierschutz dienten.
this is from the nfo which i found on an nfo site
That the 800MB Starforce file can be deleted and that the 2MB crack should work but muJi.fiGHt3r doesnt want to share it with us...

2mb crack would not work because the 800mb resource file is also crypted by starforce and an starforce removed exe is not able to decrypt starforce ;)

Did you read the posts? As Alban said the crack doesn't use the 800 mb files which are the files starforce needs to identificate the original CD...
so the 2mb crack works (it did for me) ;)
Still a need to upload it or is it already on GCW...?
Yes, except you send it to me.
thanks in advance!

1) Install your copy of Freedom Force
2)Copy "Lang" folder from install directory to temp folder
3)Uninstall FFVS3R
4)Download FFVS3R VengeancE Edition ( from BitTorrent for example ) , and install.
5)Replace the original "Lang" folder with your copy
6) Play! NOCD it is included in FFVS3R VengeancE Edition or download from GMW.

Recommending the download of a warezed copy of a game (see step 4 in your guide) is not a bright idea on this forum, as warez-related talk is against the forum rules.

Why don't you just use the crack for the EU version? :confused:
It so easy so don't make everything so complicated ! ;)
Any chance anyone could send me the NOCD?

You do know this thread is about the European edition, and the one you mentioned is for the US edition, which doesn't work on the European edition? :rolleyes:
"Note: Most likely this Fixed EXE also works as a No-CD and for other languages, but this has not been confirmed yet!"
This is what is written on GameCopyWorld about the FFV3R-crack.
I don't have the game, so i don't know that the US crack don't work with the european version of the game. Also it was labeled as english, so it was possible that it mean UK not US.
I am aware of the fact that there is a Fixed Exe at the download section, I downloaded it but it does not seem to work, thats why im asking muJi.fiGHt3r (Or anyone else for that matter) who seems to have a crack that works =)
