IceWind Dale 2 crack doesn't work!

[Machina]

Its DOS and it does nothing for me...? its placed in GameDir.

IWD 2.01

HTH. HAND.

[Machina]

in English, please?

[GLH]

Its DOS and it does nothing for me...? its placed in GameDir.What exactly dows it not for you? It ask for original disc, crash to desktop, ... ????

[Machina]

The patch does not work. When its outside of game directory, it starts up and says PRESS A KEY TO CONTINUE. Well, pressing a key makes it quit. When the crack is IN the game dir., it won't come up with that menu and do anything at all.

The game asks for a CD.

[eloj]

Are we to just magically know what patch you're talking about?

If it doesn't apply correctly it's probably because you're running some other version of the game. You're patched to v2.01, right?

My instructions above works for my up-to-date IWD2 from the Icewind Dale Ultimate Collection (EU).

[Dieselbrad]

Make sure the complied executable Crack201.exe is in the same Directory as IWD2.EXE. Also please ensure you are using the correct release and have applied the correct patch for your region.(german,russian,or US Canada)

I do not understand the instructions...


And to the other poster - its the US version of the game, and I applied the patch.

I can get the game to run with the CD but its not very convinient.

[Machina]

I disabled the option CLOSE ON EXIT for the .exe file and now I can read the message CANNOT EXECUTE.

I did everything right, and don't know why this is happening.

Maybe someone can crack it and send me the already cracked .exe?

[Machina]

bumP!

[Dieselbrad]

bumP!
What process is Crack201.exe attaching to once the EXE is closed? This file seems questionable to me? Any thoughts on this?

That one also simple opens DOS window and closes immediately...

[Joe Forster/STA]

Read its message! (Open the DOS prompt beforehands and execute the patch inside it so that the window doesn't close immediately.)

[Machina]

Oh...yeah :). I got it all to work!

But why does WinXP closes the DOS window so fast and etc?

[Dieselbrad]

WinXP is built on WinNT not DOS as earlier versions of Windows were. The command prompt is a DOS emulator in a way, it doesn't directly translate to the kernel, as DOS did. So, usually these type of commands must be run from batch files or from the command prompt themselves.

[eloj]

Added Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal no-cd (http://gazonk.org/~eloj/files/temp/bg2crk.com) (for v2.5.26498)

[Joe Forster/STA]

@eloj: Can I ask you to spend another few minutes of your life with writing one-sentence readmes for each of your cracks and then uploading them to GCW via http://ul.gamecopyworld.com ? :) Thanks in advance!

[eloj]

I really don't feel confortable with that as they stand now, maybe if I rewrite them with a bit better error handling and the ability to revert patches. (As for BG2, I'd like to add the 26499 beta patch).

Since I have the rest of the Infinity Engine games too I should probably produce one archive with no-cds for all of them at the latest patch-level, including BG1, BG1:TotSC, IWD1 and IWD1:HoW.

[Machina]

Also...I found BG1 crack for xxxxx21 version but its for BG1 only without the expansion. I have BG1 + Swoard Coast and YET its version xxxxx21. It seems a crack for BG1 + Sword Coast version xxxx21 does not exist. I used the one for BG1 only and it worked (the MISSION PACK loaded and I believe Mission Pack is the expansion).

Just my 2 cents...

[eloj]

Reviving this thread because I have uploaded infinitycracker v1.0 which cracks (no-cd) all major known versions of all existing Infinity Engine games.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Please, upload it to GCW via http://ul.gamecopyworld.com, too. Thanks!

[eloj]

I did. Is there a way to know if it worked? The part to the right of the upload slots updated with a "green" sign after I pressed "Upload files", but no special "success" message or anything.

If I don't see it in a day or two I'll try again with a "less alternative" browser.

[Joe Forster/STA]

If it doesn't appear within a day or two on GCW, that might also mean that Empire is simply with other things in his life... ;)

[eloj]

Or maybe he don't know how to categorize it/care. Anyhow, uploaded v1.1 in which I added the generic scanning patcher I wanted to do all along. This should catch any oddball versions out there, which pretty much closes this subject. Forever.

>infinitycracker --scan test.exe
InfinityCracker v1.1 by eloj

Invoking generic scanning patcher on 'test.exe'
GetLogicalDrives call located at offset 0x3094d
Original function prologue found at offset 0x308d2
File 'test.exe' cracked successfully.

[DABhand]

perhaps :P

[JohnnyRoberts]

i cant seem to run the infinitycracker on my comp.
im using vista and it either immediately closes the program or, if i run it from the command prompt, simply say "no files processed." and all that but, gives me no options on the actual infinitycracker DOS.
it simply reverts to the command prompt.
sorry if im not explaining myself very well.
can anyone help?

[BarryB]

Another year old thread resurrected!

Did you copy the infinitycracker.exe into the games directory? Have you tried the '--list' command and checked you have the relevant game/version installed? Have you tried supplying the filename of the game you want to crack? Did you read the 'Readme.txt'?

[TippeX]

lol how can it be infinity patching if its a byte patcher? ;p

[laboratominator]

it doesn't work on vista... the vista itself probably recognizes the program's purpose and function and closes it immediately... that's my best guess

[morgothr]

i got the same problem as JohnnyRoberts and i use xp do you have any idea what i could do i really need to patch IWD 2

[TippeX]

then do it manually with a hex editor...

00026B20: 6A B0
00026B21: FF 01
00026B22: 68 C3

first part is file offset, 2nd column is the original byte pattern, third column is the byte to put in (overwrite)

so...

file offset 00026B20 -> change the 6A to B0
file offset 00026B21 -> change the FF to 01
file offset 00026B22 -> change the 68 to C3

which i think is effectively

mov al, 1
retn

either way, 3 bytes to patch, pretty simple

use hexworkshop (www.bpsoft.com) or something to edit the file
make sure OVERWRITE (press the ins key so the OVR part in the bottom status window is enabled)...

then edit -> goto -> enter the file offset (make sure HEX is selected)
click go

make sure the hex window left portion is where the cursor is and type in the replacment byte

repeat it for the 3 places you have to patch

hmm actually, its all one after each other

so just goto the first offset, make sure OVR is on (you may get a nag about this)
and enter the 3 bytes to replace (B0 01 C3) - you should see the original bytes too ( 6A FF 68 )

if you do NOT see those original bytes there, do NOT make the changes...

also, BACKUP the file you're editing, in case you make a mistake...

once done, file->save to save the changes you made...

[morgothr]

thank you so much.
that worked perfectly;)

[iNZoW]

Patch doesnt work for me because i am using windows 7 64 bit!

Is there a solution for this?:(

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/inzow/error.jpg

[iNZoW]

I tried executing the crack through my laptop in network [windows 32bit]. and this is what i get in the command Prompt.

Cracking IWD2.exe <v2.01 -- 5029888 bytes>: failed.

Any help would be really appreciated.

[ancalimon]

Have you tried running it in a CMD which is run as Administrator?



Oh...yeah :). I got it all to work!

But why does WinXP closes the DOS window so fast and etc?


Sorry I couldn't resist!

Because it's ashamed of its past.

[Frag4now]

then do it manually with a hex editor...

00026B20: 6A B0
00026B21: FF 01
00026B22: 68 C3


Great! This really works! Do you know how to crack (with offset and hex values) icewind dale 1 patch 1.06, and heart of winter patch 1.41? ...or at least how to find those values...

Thanks for help

[WaltonSimons]

Because it's just how it works. You need to open the CMD/DOS prompt prior to launching DOS cracks in order to see their messages.

[DeanoM86]

Hey guys, I have just signed up because I am really stuck, I am not particularly up to date with Hex editing, I have however tried the solution on this thread:

I do not know how to run the crack in DOS so I tried to do it manually

file offset 00026B20 -> change the 6A to B0
file offset 00026B21 -> change the FF to 01
file offset 00026B22 -> change the 68 to C3

Please excuse my ignorance if I am doing it wrong but I could not find anything matching those values when using hex workshop. I am new to this program though.

If anyone knows how to do this in a very simple step by step way (either how to run infinitycracker in DOS or how to do it manually) I would be very grateful for any help you can give. I am running windows 7 so other cracks I have tried simply won't open. I even have CD2 saved on the hard disk, I just don't have a blank CD to burn it on lol

[Joe Forster/STA]

iNZoW and DeanoM86: You probably have a different version of the game. The link says the crack is for version 2.01; what's your version?

[DeanoM86]

Hey, according to patch info file, the version is:

This file contains the log of the fixes and changes made to Icewind Dale II
since it's initial release.


VERSION 2.01 - [v2.01.1016]
---------------------------

I did install the English patch for the game...

Also just to confirm, I have looked in properties and the game says version 2.0.1.0

[Frag4now]

Please excuse my ignorance if I am doing it wrong but I could not find anything matching those values when using hex workshop. I am new to this program though.

Ok. it's quite easy.

Steps:

1. open IWD2.exe with hex editor,
2. press Ctrl+g to open a "goto" window,
3. insert the offset (be sure hex radio button is checked): 00026B20, press "Go",
4. modify manually hex values on right side, putting B0 instead of 6A, 01 instead of FF, and C3 instead of 68.
5. save new file as IWD2.exe (file cracked)

Take a look at attached image.

I'm going to ask it again: someone could be so kind to tell us all hex value(hex value and offsets) to crack icewind dale 1 patch 1.06, and heart of winter patch 1.41? thanks a lot.
