We assume that everyone here bought the game (according to the forum rules) and does NOT want to use it (the whole point of this forum). So your comment doesn't make much sense...

Faux Carnival

07-07-2006, 12:12

No.. Let's just say we bought the game and made ourselves images. (Backup purposes only.. Hehe.. :))

I'm also curious about this. I have a BlindWrite 6 image right now. I can't get it working... (I don't have the tools for that external drive method.)

Any help will be appreciated.

Are your very sure about it?
Most of Starforce games have been cracked ,you just need to wait.

noscript

08-07-2006, 14:02

yes but most games took month or even years.

I think we have to wait at least as long as for splinter cell 3

08-07-2006, 14:36

uhm... windows minesweeper is uncracked yet - and this game exist much longer than splinter cell 3 - i hope there will be a crack in the next 100 years... seems to be the hardest protection ever

noscript

08-07-2006, 15:08

you re talking shit, minesweeper was cracked with the release of Windows 3.1.

A group called microsoft removed the protection. It has been playable without cd in drive since this release ;)

yeah they got busted way back...i was very sad to hear that at that time, they´ve cracked beauties like monkey island 1 and some 5 1/4 floppys. maybe they´ll comeback and crack SF4, considering that it was no easy business to crack those ancient floppys. :D

Joe Forster/STA

11-07-2006, 05:04

I don't quite understand; floppies are floppy exactly so that they don't crack when you bend them...!

Well, then contact the publisher with a proof of purchase and ask for a replacement. (Read the forum rules and the forum FAQ!)

They already cracked starforce 4.You just need to install an antiblacklisting tool called Windows Vista Beta 2 , mount the image in daemon tools and play.

true... but both titles used SF v4.0.09.0 Basic without any drivers.

I haven't tested with starforce 4 game on vista beta 2 because i don't have such game at the moment but i made some tests with Rise and Fall CaW which uses starforce 3.16.7 (not basic) and got some interesting results.My MB has nforce 4 chipset and my HDDs are sata so the optical drives are alone on the ide controller.Under windows XP SP2 i couldn't run the game with mounted image.My image is good , i also tried to unplug my drives , updated the sptd driver to 1.25 but no luck.Then i tried with vista beta 2.Installed daemon tools 4.03 with sptd 1.25 , mounted the same image that i used under xp with no luck and the game started.NO need to disconnect or disable optical drives or hide them any other way.Just mounted the full image and game worked.So i guess taht starforce 4 will also work under vista beta 2 with mounted full image.

I tried the proposed solution using a usb dvd drive. I bought an usb2ide adapter (google for ADU2IDE-N133), which was just cheap (with usb cable ~15 euro) and some blank dvds (TDK DVD-RW). Burned my image using blindwrite and everything works simply perfect. In addition, I will now be able to hot (un)plug my dvd and I dont have any ide drives connected. :D

Same procedure works for Rush for Berlin.

Thanks a lot for the tip ;)

13-07-2006, 06:02

Just mounted the full image and game worked.So i guess taht starforce 4 will also work under vista beta 2 with mounted full image.What do you mean with the full image ?
I have downloaden a blindwrite image which contains 4 files, and i can mount one of them.

Did you make a new image yourself, and how did you do it (what program did u use) ?

I also have Vista beta 2 with deamon 4.03 and the 125 driver, but i can't get it to work (and also have sata-hdds)

Joe Forster/STA

13-07-2006, 06:05

How big is the image you've downloaded? If it's several hundred megabytes or a few Gigabytes then it's what we call a "full image".

Zorbskie

13-07-2006, 06:17

This is not just an ordinary version 4 of Starforce, this is Starforce frontline 4. It has been created with the help of piracy teams that have cracked previous versions of starforce. No attempt to bypass this protection software with any current emulator or burning program will work, (with the execption of the Blindwrite method). in the rumor mill there is word of a "NO-CD-EXE" for "Hard Truck Apocalypse" created by Reloaded, it is said that it also uses the same version of starforce. But also there is word of the next daemon tools release being able to work with this new starforce, lets hope that is true and that Reloaded will be able to utilise this future daemons tools for our convenience.

Chill Everyone. the US version of Flatout 2 will be out in 3-4 weeks.

FL2 (US) -> Securom 7

Do you know this for sure? I REALLY hope this is true. I'm not bothering with this game if it uses SF (I'm an SF boycotter), but I REALLY want this game badly. I loved FO1...I still play it often. FO2 is my most wanted game ever for the PC. Truth.

Gawd, I hope the American version IS Securom....I won't be afraid of buying and installing it then. I've gotten burned too many times by SF games already to purposely buy another one.

How sure are you of this info? Just because the American publisher generally uses Securom doesn't mean that this game will automatically use it. Are you just guessing based on the publisher's track record or do you KNOW?

Meh...either way, I guess we'll all find out when it releases here.....I'll either be deleriously happy to play the game or severely disappointed that I don't dare to install it on my PC.

I need confirmation on the protection to be used in the American version. My potential purchase of this game depends on it.

I'll be sure to keep a lookout here at GCW fileforums for the final determination on which protection is used on the American version.

Now I'm all excited for the game again...because of this rumor.

I don't know if i may post this one. I found a way to play Flatout 2 just without having to use an external DVD drive. At Gamecopyworld there stands a game called X3 Reunion. When u download the fixed image u get allot of files and also a readme where stands what u have to do to make that game work. Well also that works with Flatout 2. Before u are gonna try this directly then u should first uninstall Flatout 2 if u have it installed. Also remove everything in your register of Flatout 2. When u then follow each step then u can make it to work.

The most usefull is to burn the blindwrite 6 image to a dvd and make an .mdf file of that dvd with Alcohol 120% so u can mount it in Daemon Tools.

If it isn't working contact me at speeder.daowner********com

For all who make it working, yeah i know im good to share that information with others.

What motherboard do you have ? S-ATA HDD's ?

Flatout 2 WORKS on vista beta 2 +spd 1.25 driver and an mds mdf file...

Instrucions:

Get the daemon plugin to mount bw6 images...(go to daemon forum and search)
you install this by overwritting the dll file in C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools\Plugins\Images\bw5mount.dll...(hxxp://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~dtbartle/bw5mount.zip) [daemon must be off in order to properly overwrite the new dll file ;-) ]
Then mount the bw6 flatout 2 image in daemon.
Now go to alchool 120 run the image creation wizard don´t change any setting, and create an image of flatout in mdf format....
Now go to hxxp://www.copybase.ch/PHPV2/Database/Dpm.Download/1514 and download this mini image made from an original flatout 2 disk...
Rename this mini image to match the name of your mdf image.
I have my optical drives unplugged from power supply so i don´t know if it works with drives plugged in...
Now mount this renamed image in daemon with all emulation options off and PLAY.

This works on vista beta 2 build 5384 ( the public beta from microsoft site )

I hope i helped you guys :)

Ok so I was doing some searching...I came across a crack for flatout 2 so I decided to try it, now its asking me for the disc key...anyone have any clue what to do from here on in?

cdkiller

24-07-2006, 01:04

ow its asking me for the disc key...
you are using the Starforce ProActive exe wich doesn´t contain any disc checks. this protection validates the serial when connecting to the starforce protection server. to run it you need to have a valid key.

Laz77

24-07-2006, 10:37

my best guess is that is what it is...so now yeah i need a disc key, i read up in a couple places its the same disc key for every game so if we found it would the game work?

If I understand correctly what cdkiller said, you don't need the CD/DVD at all, only a valid Starforce key. I suppose you should've got one when you bought the game, either in the jewel case - for a physical CD/DVD - or in the confirmation E-mail - for a so called "digital download". So, how did you buy the game anyway?

XdaywalkerX

no need for a key - this game is protected by starforce 4 fronline - keyless... u just must enter a key if u have problems with the protection - if u have, contact starforce support.

So... If I'm not mistaken the US release date is today... can anyone confirm that the game is Scurom 7 protected instead of Starforce 4 :D ?

I'm reading at one of the FO forums that it will indeed contain the SF virus in the American version.

Oh well, it was the ONLY PC game I planned to buy this year. Now that idea is down the toilet. :(

I don't care how good the game is, I'm not putting Starforce infected games in any of my PC's. Maybe I'm just weird, but I like having a stable PC.

I hope someone like Reloaded cracks the crap out of this game. I also hope Empire Interactive feels the loss in their pocketbooks too. Maybe they'll wise-up next time.

does it matter about the protection system. Are you ment to install it. Plus I mounted the image on the laptop and its connected to my pc through a LAN. I shared the virtual drive on the laptop and mounted the file. I then used my desktop pc and started the install but the file is taking ages to install because its going over the LAN, is there away to speed it up.
cheers

the fastest way would be to install from your original CD/DVD and not from an image mounted over a network. (well, that actually depends on how fast your network connection is..)

So.... Can anyone confirm if there is really a CD-KEY in the US version or not?? If so, is it compatible with Multiplayer servers from the Europe version?? (If there is no CD-KEY, I guess it is compatible since it is the only thing that I see could have been changed except the protection used)

Please tell me as soon as possible!!
Thank you

The first one used an old version of pid that could not identify the complete version number of securom.

cdkey stuff is only found as a string in the exe files. Maybe it belongs to securom.

Damn that crap StarForce!
So now we just have to wait for a good crack by reloaded :cool: (which will come out soon I think/hope)

Rayder

03-08-2006, 06:28

Yeah I knew that....But I wasn't thinking before seeing the screenshot to the fact that if they changed SF4 to SecuROM, maybe they added Serial key since most SecuROM games has one...... And then it made me doubt about the fact that if they did so, maybe Europe and American versions wouldn't be compatible together cause of the CD-KEY verification that American version could have of more....

From what I've read at one of the Flatout forums, no, the US and European versions are not compatible at this time. They say a patch will be coming to fix that.

The American version supposedly has some updated code not found in the European version and the patch will even things up when it's released so they'll be compatible online.

I too am so glad that the US version doesn't use SF, ecstatic actually, as this is my most anticipated game of the year for the PC. I'm heading out to my local EB in just a few minutes to get it. Not only does using Securom7 raise the chance for a possibility of a NoCD crack in the future, but it also will not destroy my PC like SF can. :)

Crack also works 4 the EU version - but i don't know if u can play the game from the beginning to the end (some hidden checks or something) ... the game starts without problems and u can play normally... no problems...

oh - and u can choose all 5 languages from the EU release.

i've deinstalled the game (starforce drivers removed) reinstalled the game WITHOUT install the starforce drivers - finished the intstallation.

now go to the install dir and delete protect.exe flatout2.exe protect.drv and protect.dll - insert the cracked exe by reloaded and start the game... or simply replace the exe if u wanna keep the starforce-driver crap on ur system.

Hi I have a raedon 9200 pro (Omega 2.6.05a) and installed the new reloaded patch to flatout 2 and the game actually loaded for the first time. Problem is when I get to the actual racing or mini games the screen is white although i can still see the odometre and position and all that other stuff. Is anyone else getting this problem? If anyone can give me any further information on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

if such, you couldn't even start the game since the files would be crypted (like for instance in crashday). the game just uses 3 big data files which thankfully aren'r rigged with any starforce shit. the only problem for now is incompatible mplayer with the uncracked EU version (this should be resolved within next patch)

Surely the game loads ok when using the original disc to play?
And do you experience the white screen problem when using the original disc?

when i try to play on-line , in the search servers screen , the game crash to windows and sais that there is a error with the flatout2.exe file .
i'v noticed it happens after some times that you try to play , after restart of Winxp , i can try few more times and than it crash again .

its the RELOADED crack .

SP game works ok ...

any body have the same problem ?
