If he actually had the original disc, he wouldn't be here whining about getting it to start properly. Stupid Canadians

First of all if you consider yourself intelligent for stating this point you should reassess what you believe is smart.

Your argument is ludicrous because if it were true nobody would be posting on these forums. Everyone would just play the originals and be content... but people like to preserve their original discs and make 'back ups' or 'images'... essentially the purpose of this forum.

Please give your posts some structure and thought.

Like I said, stupid Canadian. Like you said, is was released early in some stores... Hence there is a leak in the net and on almost the same day, this guy whines on how to get his copy to work. Coincidence? I think not.

And preserving Original games? Hell, have you even owned an original before? I think not coz ur just riding on the pirate defense. And scratching a disk doesn't make it unplayable all of a sudden, not to mention that you would have to be a real idiot to scratch an Original disc badly. So you stupid Canadian, go back to you're hell hole country and do something Canadian like mocking people who use fork and spoons for eating.

@jackdan
does the game work with your original cd/dvd?

@DeathFox
you really should shut the fuck up and think twice before you post something.
insulting others is just wrong and if you have no problems with using your originals, that's fine, but some people play a lot of games and they don't want to have cds/dvds laying around and play DJ all the time.

^ Like I said, it doesn't matter if some stores do sell it. If these idiots have actually bought the game from the stores then why in the world would they be here asking how to run the game without a freaking CD?

Because some people don't want to be hassled to insert the CD everytime they wish to change games that they are playing. It partly defeats the purpose of copying the game to your HD. Plus, people are afraid that their game might get scratched/damaged (accidents happen) and the protection won't recognize it anymore.

There can be many reasons why new securom titles don't run with original CD/DVD:

- Antiblaxx in Autostart (same as dooler's link)
- AnyDVD active (only with some titles)
- some freakin virus scanner blocking

This thread is a good example of why non-admins should not try to do admins work for them.

My suggestion, for all of us, would be, if you think the person is using warez, report the post and don't reply. If you're not sure, try to help but don't start hurling potentially groundless accusations and/or insults. Let the admins do their job. It just makes it that much more difficult if they have to start banning the warez kiddies and everybody else :).

Yes rlsuth that's exactly what we mods like to see. If you see something fishy, just report it and we'll check it out. Almost always there are 2/3 mods roving the board anyway so even without a report we usually quickly see anything suspicious.

Just when you think ignorant people are coming to their collective yet limited senses, one crawls out from the trailer park and ruins it for all his step brothers and step sisters.... What a moron. Stupid Canadiens ??? I didn't see a so called Canadien insulting people for NO reason other than to make himself feel better about apparently having a small penis. Otherwise you'd never have piped off when you obviously don't have a lick of common sense about you. So go back to your broken down trailer, continue to claim ufo abduction for your reasons to bang your sister with the black tooth, fix the coat hanger antenna on your working black and white tv stacked on a broken color tv you found at a yard sale for $.99 and leave the rest of the educated world be. There's no place for you here.

P.S. I think your trailer is leaking.....No , wait...... Your uncle jimbo is just peeing inside again. My bad !!!

However it seems as the crack is bad because it crashes if an object is dropped (pressing 'g' button). Haven't tested it myself but it seems to be... :(

23-05-2006, 09:20

If you replace "version" with "crack", it might also mean that changing the button layout fixes the problem with Reloaded's crack, Reloaded's version of getting rid of the CD/DVD. Yes, it might be a bit suspicious but I don't think it's enough as a proof for warez usage...

Gee never changes here some jumping to warez conclusions (unless n00b admits its warez dont assume), ok has anyone got issues with game forgetting saves once you exit and restart game, meaning basically you would need leave game running until you complete it LOL.
I have did same part of game twice now and wont be doing a third time.

24-05-2006, 11:12

hi JHUK, yeah mine loses the saves, remembers your profile and the chapter you got to but any ingame saves it loses for some reason.

ho hum, maybe its just the way the game designers have made it or its some kind of anti no-dvd thing .

the game isnt much cop in my opinion anyway so will prob be uninstalling pretty soon me thinks ! ;)

cheers.

It's designed to erase the savegames when you leave the game. They want to force you to play a level in one sitting. Just complain to the developers/publishers and maybe they'll change it in the next patch.

i recently obtained a leagel copy of Hitman Bloodmoney, i do infact own the DVD and i did get it installed, however my problem arised when i run the game, it runs and everything, im not getting the securom thang, my problem is that the screen is black and i see the start of the little red loading bar, it gets about 1/4th through and then my game dies and goes back to windows.

ive restarted, reinstalled, uninstalled and done everything i could think of to get it to work and the problem continues, if anyone might know how to fix this it would be awsome, thanks!

I've got a legal version of Hitman 4 : Blood money but i want to play without CD , and i've patched it with 1.1 patch do you have a crack for 1.1 version please ?

I thought too that I may need a 1.1 cracked exe after patching HBM to 1.1, but alas the original RELOADED exe works just fine. I thought that by recopying it over the patch I might just be "unpatching" it but I'm not so sure now. I tried to run the patch again and it said "error: patch already applied".

DABhand

29-05-2006, 10:16

Thats because no doubt there will be a registry entry keeping a record of which version is installed

Joe Forster/STA

29-05-2006, 10:38

Agreed. It's a not a bright idea, though; I'd either (try to) apply the whole patch (in the case of a real patch, see the great RTPatch engine) again or, at least, check something (length, date, checksum, whatever) of the main executable... Perhaps, after a confirmation prompt.

D00bs

29-05-2006, 22:04

Anyone still trying to run this game, patched to 1.1, via emulation? If so, I've found a solution that works at least on my computer.

You'll need daemon tools of course, and also the latest pr0tst0p and securom loader. Put the latter directly into your blood money directory.

Then..

Mount your image with daemon tools, with all emulation options disabled, then close the little daemon tools icon on your windows toolbar.

Next, run Pr0tst0p, click "hide", close Pr0tstop, and then simply launch "hitmanbloodmoney.exe" with Securom Loader. I was suprised as hell when mine launched with this combo, but it wasn't a fluke for me; works every time.

Which is good, cuz the patch really improved my performance.

btw...I've only tested this with mini images...if it doesn't work the first time, try different ones. best of luck. For legal/backup purposes only of course ;)

I tried doing EXACTLY what you said but I still get the "conflict with emulation software" error message.

Try to uninstall ALL Useless Unused virtual drives like Clone CD, just let Daemon tool & hiding tools on your system. Probably, you have to many black listed burning softwares installed. check your registry wis regcleaner to know if all uninstalled burning softwares have removed their keys from "software list" and "startup list" :D

Hey
I've tried all that you mentioned, including deleting every application I thought could have something to do with either CD/DVD burning or blacklisting tools.

The ones I let be is DAEMON Tools, Pr0t.St0p v1.0 and SecuROM 1.2.
Now I've followed all the instructions and I have used RegCleaner but still the same issue with the error message that tells me there is a conflict with emulation software.
Maybe its because I have the wrong image file, where did you get yours?

EDIT: So now I have solved it, it turned out to be a faulty image, I said it myself. I suggest you go to www.gamecopyworld.com and install the first release of the DVD Fix Image for this to work, altough there should be no need for Pr0t.St0p v1.0, only run the Hitman ".exe" file with SecuRom 1.2 as usual. It should work as a charm.

02-06-2006, 06:58

OK.. i explain my situation:

Ï've installed the game and the 1.1 patch and everything is working fine, so I thought... At the end of the first mission, ive getting a error message, and the game drops out to the deskop again. Has happend 3 times know, and dont know what to do. Guessing iam not the only one with this problem.

HELP!

02-06-2006, 07:10

No you're not the only one. If you roll back a few pages you will see it explained there, although I can explain it once again.
I was experiencing this problem also. The reason is that the crack you have applied is faulty, I think its made for the Demo release of Hitman, since it creates a folder named Hitman Bloodmoney Demo under "Documents and Settings\Username".
The only way I know at the moment to play the game with 1.1 (without original disc) is to follow the tips up ahead with SecuROM!

noscript

02-06-2006, 08:05

Yes it is made for the demo. You can download it as a "1.1 demo patch" from Eidos support pages. If you scan it with pid you will see that it is wrapped with Securom 7.

noscript

02-06-2006, 09:27

It did not erase you saves. It is a demo exe and looks for savegames in another directory. (Hitman Bloodmoney Demo). You will not be able to complete the whole game because you get kicked out after reaching the end of a level.

So are you telling me this crack was for a demo, dont make much sense to me. :confused:

schim

04-06-2006, 09:57

I found out the following:

Problem:

- install game
- apply patch 1.1
- nodvd cracks dont work stable - skip them
- mount either mini-image or "real" image with DT403 (http://www.daemon-tools.cc)
- start game with newest securom-loader (get it from here (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=Download&id=93))
- getting "Emulation Software detected (or something like that?)

Solution (for me):
- start the old hitmanbloodmoney.exe (save or rename it before applying the patch 1.1) via the Securom loader - even if it may crash - don´t bother
- now retry starting the new exe from patch 1.1 with securom loader
- it should work

It seems that you have to repeat this steps every time after a windows restart. If your just hibernate your PC you don´t have a problem here.

happy killing,

06-06-2006, 11:34

Here is the way i did it:

-Patch to 1.1
-Open DT4.03 and turn off all emulation and mount game
-use x200x-hbm mini-image if you do not want to make a copy of your game
-Run Pr0t.St0p v1.0 and hide drives
-Run ASR and select hitmanbloodmoney.exe
-Play the game

Just make sure to restore your drives with Pr0t.St0p when you are done.

shumon1971

06-06-2006, 20:24

You said "Run ASR and select hitmanbloodmoney.exe" what is ASR? is that Securom Loader 1.2? Please help because I am trying to run hitman blood money for last 2 weeks. I could run without the 1.1 patch though, but when I quit the game it just freezes and I have to restart my computer every time. I was hoping that 1.1 patch might fix this problem.

I can run the game with reloaded no cd fixed exe with patch 1.1 but when I quit the game it freezes. So I am now trying to use mini image with patch 1.1. Does anyone have solution for this. I can run game smoothly but when I quit game it freezes. My PC is P-4 3.0 Ghz, Ram 1.0 GB, Graphics card 6800GS with forceware beta driver 91.28. Audigy SB with the last driver release from creative.

I have run every game on my PC smoothly, but facing lots of problem with this blood money

Darrensmojo

07-06-2006, 02:27

This worked for me:

-Install game
-Update to 1.1
-Use DT 4.03, no emulation, use either game image or mini image
-Copy the original "hitmanbloodmoney.exe" from the game DVD/game image and replace it with the one in your game folder on your computer
-Start the game using the latest securom-loader

You need to make sure though that you do not have alcohol 120 or any other emulation software running. In my case i had to fully uninstall alcohol 120 for it to work, but i barely used that software anyways.

Thanks guys I will try all steps dicussed in here, if fail, I will have to wait for the next patch or throw away the DVD.

kbq

08-06-2006, 16:09

I also was getting the 'emulation software detected' message too(with the patch 1.1 which i can barely play without), so i uninstalled nero and daemon tools(the only things related to cds/dvds in my windows), ran regcleaner and deleted anything that had something to do with cd/dvd (even from the startup registry part), installed the daemon tools again and used the x200x-hbm image, better exited the DT tray icon and ran the asr loader and it worked. As i see it, it's only a matter of a clean looking registry. If ur desperate u can install second windows for the game and u shouldn't have a problem with a dirty registry.
Other way which is not a too satisfying solution is to use the so-called 'no-cd crack 1.1' and savegames from GCW which you'll put in that demo folder. This way u can play all missions but u won't be actually able to finish one mission and get to the next.

1. Download "Hitman: Blood Money [ENGLISH] No-DVD/Fixed Image #1" from GameCopyWorld (www.gamecopyworld.com/)
If you get the right version you should now have a .zip file named "x200x-hbm" containing a .nfo file and a map including the files: asr, subinacl, tref, x200x-hbm.mdf and x200x-hbm.mds.
2. Now double click the tref file and do as you're told
3. Mount x200x-hbm.mds with Daemon Tools
4. Shut down the tray icon of D-Tools
5. Run the file asr.exe which came with the fixed mini image.
6. Select HitmanBloodMoney.exe in the game folder
7. Play the game
If this doesnt work, try uninstalling any other emulation software and/ or run a registry cleaner such as RegCleaner and repeat the steps mentioned above.

At last I have been able to run Hitman Bloodmoney Ver1.1 with CureRom Pro Ver2.0.2. Its simple.
1) Uninstall Demeon Tools, run Registry Cleaner
2) Install the full game
3) Apply Hitman Bloodmoney Official Patch Ver1.1
4) Install Dameon Tool and mounted the Image x200x-hbm
4) Download and install CureRom Pro Ver2.0.2
5) Using the CureRom wizard to showed the patch for Game Execution file
6) CureRom creates a desktop shortcut for the Game and you can play the game from there, no problem at all.

But when I quit the game my PC restarts.:confused: Does anyone face this problem? Can anyone again help me with this?

My PC is Pentium 4 3.0 Mhz. GPU 6800GS 256 MB, Ram-1.0 GB, Sound Blaster Audigy. I am using forceware 91.31 Graphic Driver, and the last released Creative driver.

Good proposal...but it takes more than an hour (almost two) to re-install the game. But I think you're right, furthermore I didn't find this exe in the web...:(

More than an hour?!? Are you trying to install it on a Speak & Spell? It took my computer about 6 minutes, and it certainly isn't top of the line.

Ah...the game runs fine. Thankz for your help. It takes so long cuz my PC was made in 2001 and I don't know, also completing files from eDon... with a size of more than 1Gb takes almost 24 hours! Unbelieveable isn't it?

For all guys, they've the german version of Hitman and patched it to 1.1, the only way to play it, is to use the original disc or a copy of it. To copy Hitman use the new version of CloneCD. For me, it works perfectly but you must have a dvd-writer which can write raw-sub (dao, sao) data.

It works! The lastest version of CloneCD able to copy a Securom protected CD/DVD but only if you've a dvd-writer which can write raw-sub (dao, sao) data.

Copy of Original Disk? You mean I have to Copy the Original Disk? I am in dark.
When you've the German Version of Hitman it's the only potentiality, because the german patch is only a replace of the executable 'HitmanBloodMoney.exe'.

I dont know why you are slagging the guy, cause he is correct and your both wrong.

Open Alcohol or nero InfoTool, and depending on your drives capabilities, it may/will list RAW modes inc RAW SAO, RAW DAO, RAW SAO 16, RAW SAO 96, RAW DAO 16, RAW DAO 96.

The above is from my Pioneer A-09 (same as 109) and my TEAC CDRW/DVD Combo 52x32x52/16 does enar same with exeption to the 1st RAW SAO and RAW DAO, because its only a CDRW Writer not DVDRW writer.

If you want to back up some type of copy protected games inc DVD-Rom games, you need a RAW burner, and Alcohol tells you this.

Im not, its taken directly from NERO, I suggest you go and learn whats a DVD Writer can or cant do (depending on model) inc writing to DVD media in RAW modes.

I think my input was damn site more info that the 2 slaggers, 1 of them being you.

You want to argue it, take it up with Pioneer, Nero and Alcohol.

BTW, that thread is as full of n00b peeps as this one, the dvd writer can write CD/CDRW sure but the RAW mode isnt just for CD's, I have backed up games using Alcohol and its uses RAW mode, cause you drop down menu and choose your method and YES the games were DVD-ROM and I was using DVD R or DVD RW media.

End of story is that guy was correct, you 2 slagged him and werw wrong, now Im off to test brand new build of alcohol copying my game from DVD ROM to DVD R in RAW mode :D

I think my input was damn site more info that the 2 slaggers, 1 of them being you.:D I've used one of his phrases but i'm not Spath (btw in contrast to me a respected expert regarding optical media)

- All the modes listed by you/Nero are CD write modes
- even if there was a DVD RAW mode this wouldn't help with Securom or Starforce as they use special physical characteristics and not data that can't be written. Tages "only" uses twin sectors with different content -> no need for RAW mode, too. Maybe with Safedisc one may benefit of a RAW mode (hush... we'll soon see emulated copies of Safedisc DVD's, can't tell more for the moment ;) )

All copies of DVD titles are emulated ones (if emulation is needed), e.g. Alcohols RMPS emulates correct delays between checked sectors, or duration of reading sector(s)

P.S. I'd love to see an image of Alcohol's drop down menu for DVD write method :rolleyes:

Tippex I wasnt refering to you in my post it was Zulu (yes you both said he was wrong but you never really slagged him) but regardless you dont tell anyone here what to do, your the 2 telling someone they are wrong when you both dont have a clue what your talking about, in this day of WWW.GOOGLE.COM, you could have gotten info before talking crap.

So moral of this story is "Get your facts straight and engage brain before you open your mouth and let your belly rumble" :)

My post was lot more helpful than you 2 telling someone something thats wrong.

Zulu you are totally clueless, I have stated 2x above for the Teac that may be the case as it cant burn DVD media, but the Pioneer can and I have burned RAW mod copying my games from DVD Rom to DVD R or DVD RW in Alcohol, so you need go and grab trail of this app and get a proper DVD Writer, as even mines is old now and does RAW burning.

And for your info Secure Rom can be copied in Alcohol, Starforce offically in last build (not looked in yesterdays new build) cant, but you can get it to work if you use a DVD-RW, if you use DVD R it a coaster, Ive did this many times, Nero can copy Starforce games if you know whats your doing and are more advanced and can use Full Nero not Express (hint its same settings you would change to back up Xbox games or make a DVD you burn compatable with older standalones).

Im not going to take this any further, cause I know you dont have a clue and will a 3rd time state the Pioneer is only RAW for CD media, but hey I dont need prove anything, I can see in Nero Info Tool and back up my games in RAW mode to DVD Media in Alcohol.

Zulu

17-06-2006, 05:16

And speaking of Starforce: Yes, many 3.7.16 titles can be copied with Nero or any other DVD capable burning app (due to their new file blocking they dropped ATAPI check, so copy runs in every IDE drive), BUT only when using "fitting" media (not just DVD-RW) which means similar physical characteristics as original media.
btw. do you really think you can fool Starforce (<3.7.16) by changing Booktype ?

Settle down! You appear to be the one doing all the slagging and flaming!
Let me remind you of some of your quotes:

I dont know why you are slagging the guy...

2 slaggers, 1 of them being you. (directed at Zulu)

Get your facts straight and engage brain before you open your mouth and let your belly rumble

Zulu you are totally clueless....

You are a IDIOT so STFU and stop slagging others who know more than you ever will, telling peeps they are wrong and making fun of them is Lame but then again you are a LAMER. (again directed at Zulu)

so Blow me, Tosser (once again directed at Zulu)

get a life n00b... (directed at TippeX)

In my opinion I cant see any reference that TippeX has slagged or said anything bad towards you?
The only thing Zulu has called you is a 'Halfbrainer'?

And judging by your attitude towards these 2 members you are acting like a Halfbrainer.

My job is not to tell either of you if you are right or wrong! My job is to make sure the rules are adhered to. So may I remind you (temp) of rule #7:

7. No flaming or insulting other board members! The majority of people here are trying to help and they do that free of charge. If that help is not sufficient then do not attack because of it.

Neither Zulu or TippeX 'attacked' the poster, they just gave their opinions and questioned what he wrote.

And in my opinion, wether they are right or wrong on this matter, TippeX and Zulu have shown previously that they are valued members of this forum.

Temp you, in the past, have also appeared to me as being a 'useful' member of these forums. It would be a shame to ruin that over this!

So to you 'temp' I am asking that you quit with the name calling please.

Is your GPU overheating by chance?

Hi, some version of 6200 NVidia GPU's have no fan and overheat by 85°C (Twintech). I encounter this my self, game freeze or computer shut down after graphic bad display.Solution replace the GPU radiator with an other they have a fan (use one for FX 5700) after this, your 6200 GPU will only heat to 45° and bad display, comp restart, freeze, will disapear. Good cleanup up the old temperature paste of contact and use new one, at same time, check if some plastic bearing between the radiator and the graphics board, are not to high to allow a proper contact between radiator and GPU(if it is 'remove it), for fan power supply use the "on gpu board" conector if doesn'n run inverse the polarity +- = -+

Have fun it work proper after this.:D

Either way, pirate copies are not really the thing people tend to talk about, this forum tries to help people who own LEGIT versions of their game...
And I guess 'pirate copy' does not refer to 'real' pirates on ships at all, huh ?
I like your avatar, but that's too much, actually ;)

When will there be the next update of GCW?
I'm waiting for the NO-DVD crack for version 1.1 of the game, whch has been released... :(

You'll have to wait till someone uploads it... This game worth my time?
I was checking it out at EB today... I was dissapointed in the last PC Hitman.

@Zulu: "The first one who proves his DVD burner shows 'DVD RAW DAO' will get 10000$ "

Does it have to actually function cause I can go to town with a hex editor :p

With all the problems, it's a little hard to LOVE the game, but I would still tell you to buy it. The storyline is better than Contracts IMO.

Does anyone know if the 1.2 patch modifies the .exe? The 1.1 patch did not, so I've been using the original 1.0 crack for 1.1 with everything working fine (so far). Thanks in advance.

noscript

20-07-2006, 02:12

1.1 did modify the exe too

Schlock114

20-07-2006, 02:14

I checked the last modified date and it was a few days before I installed the patch. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't understand.

A bit late, but useful info:

In case you have 'emulation software detected' error, no need to uninstall emu-software. Just change VENDOR - MODEL settings of DT drive you mounted mini-image. Set something like SONY - DVD-R16.

HBL 1.2 works fine with asr or CureRomLite.

TippeX

04-09-2006, 06:20

tried using asr/curerom without renaming the drives?.. i think it'll work
renaming the drives is really pointless, the checks go much deeper than that and using asr/curerom defeats the idea of renaming the drives as it hides them...

Al_ZXC

04-09-2006, 07:53

May be, but in my case Hitman works ONLY if VENDOR - MODEL names are set to 'real-like'.
I think its like some EXTRA check we forgot already :)

Muji-FightR

04-09-2006, 12:14

Sounds crappy to me, a copy protection that only allows a precompiled list of vendors and models ?
Isn't that kind of discriminating ppl with old drives and very new unknown ones ?
Never heard of that actually, dunno what to think about that.

SCREW YOU, SECUROM :D

TippeX

04-09-2006, 13:27

naw, sounds like a nice theory, but utter bollocks really...

it'd mean so much compatibility problems with any new drives, securom guys haven't got a crystal ball so i doubt they know of new drives appearing in the future, that and then they'd have to update all the existing protected games...
common logic says its wrong..

I think theres no predefined list of vendors, but instead securom checks if drive's name is too weird. Mine is 'BJJD3'.

BTW, theres another guy followed my instructions and he was able to launch Titan Quest 1.15 at last.

The fun part is that when I set drives names back to default, game still runs...

TippeX

doubtful, how do you code 'too weird' checks on characters..

BTW, theres another guy followed my instructions and he was able to launch Titan Quest 1.15 at last.

The fun part is that when I set drives names back to default, game still runs...

thus proving that renaming it doesnt do a damned thing....im now convinced its asr or something thats 'helping' you run the game, the renaming might do something to daemon or alco.. resetting some value maybe .. but i really do doubt it does anything for securom

Al_ZXC

06-09-2006, 00:26

but game refused to launch BEFORE renaming...

nevertheless, renaming can help in case of 'emulation software detected' message with asr

Isnt that the one that was erased from *************** (cough) ?
I think they removed it because of some ugly crashes during the game x(

cdkiller

06-09-2006, 12:10

i think the crashes are computer related... it´s the cracked ActiveMark version and it is removed fine (disabled timelimit checks etc...)

Guess what? I've just gotten around to trying that detonation 1.2 crack on my Hitman install patched to v1.2 and it LAGS so bad it's unplayable!

If I dump it myself and fix it a la tute, or use Dearm 2.1, it works absolutely fine. Seems detonation have have blown up another crack :rolleyes:

Muji-FightR

27-09-2006, 13:15

I believe these particular lags could occur in version 1.0, newer versions 1.1 and 1.2 did not have such problems...
I never had that strange prob tho, neither with 1.0 nor with 1.1 or 1.2
That's just a ...let's say... guess. Did they use the 1.0 crack ? Dunno, maybe they altered it a bit, coded some own crappy code so it won't crash xD

Wouldn't be very uncommon for Detonation, apart from Steam they cannot crack anything very well

BarryB

27-09-2006, 15:12

Wasn't sure it was some anti ATI code as the game runs fine on a mates 6800 GT Ultra no matter if patched or not. I've had lag with the original v1.2 EXE too so it's definitely something weird in the EXE that's causing the lag!

This problem is still occuring for people who HAVE installed patch v1.2, like me! Quite a few people still can't get it running, check Eidos' forum! Only using the 2 EXE's I made can I get this running smooth, don't think they'll ever find the real cause.

Muji-FightR

28-09-2006, 08:39

Anti ATI code lol
A protection always slows thing down a little, so dont expect it to run faster with it still wrapped around ;)

TippeX

28-09-2006, 09:40

actually for hitman, the uncracked version ran considerably faster than the protected one on my pc.. go figure

Muji-FightR

28-09-2006, 12:14

the uncracked version ran considerably faster than the protected one
What's the difference between uncracked and protected ? o.O

Weird stuff with cracked exes which slow down whereas the retail one works fine ?

TippeX

28-09-2006, 14:26

yeh protected = the virgin exe (ie: securom)
cracked = well, cracked ;)

probability is the crack was badly done, vm not handled 'perfectly' so weird shit happened etc.. it was definitive though, game was practically unplayable using the cracked exe

BarryB

02-10-2006, 06:29

The Activemark EXE will also be checking the trial time every minute and updating stuff while it runs, so that will steal some CPU time too.

TippeX

02-10-2006, 07:16

yeh though activemark would generally be less intensive than vm code.. so it shouldnt be as bad a performance hit... all differs from pc to pc though.. diff configs = diff results = diff headaches :)

kokonut

05-10-2006, 06:26

what get's me about the lag is that if you download the demo..it is gonna lag like the real game...funny thing is that they released a patch for the demo and the game flies normal.

So i think that eidos deliberately released a broken game in order to prevent piracy..wish i knew what was in the demo patch that fixed everything i would translate that to my game....

but anyways we need a proper no dvd patch everything i tried so far does not work...

Nightmare

06-10-2006, 08:34

Hi,

I also found a crack for version 1.02 some weeks ago.
It should be the detonation crack (hbm12-dtn).
http://rapidshare.de/files/35720811/hbm12-dtn.rar.html

But I don't know if it is proper or not.

the patch of the demo affected something because the game ( demo versionz) worked fine after that with no lag at all...I think somebody should look into what is included in the file installer for the demo patch and see if something more than the actual exe of the game is changed...i think there is but to do that you need to decompile the installeshield installer file and then see what is included in the demo patch from there people could maybe work a solution out...i think a faulty or badly coded dll is at fault here...something that may have slipped by....

It`s weird that eidos would release patched that don`t work since they knew with the demo that they had sever graphical glitches and that they actually fixed them...

DABhand made reference to load/save/exit issues with Hitman Blood Money.

We have just purchased the game and have exactly these problems:

1. game fails to identify last saved game
2. when exiting the PC freezes

If there is a thread with an answer to these problems then could someone please post the link.

Much appreciated in advance.

We have already installed the 1.2 patch...

You can try making your own mini image, see this FAQ post (http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=73906#Images_HowToCreate)!

Does the game work correctly with the original 1.2 patch and EXE? If the game will not work with both crack and original file then it's either a game bug or your PC and then it's off to seek support from the publisher!
