i did a search and found no topics on the cracks for dragonshard, please correct me if i'm wrong,

is there a crack for the latest patch?

[DABhand]

Which is the latest patch 1.2.1b? or is there a new one? Remember if a new one just came out you have to wait a while before asking.

[A7xtitan]

it is, it came out last year though

There is no crack for the latest patch(v1.2.1b if you live in US or plainly 1.2.1 if you live in UK). The initial mini-maxi image still works though, but I do still hope for a crack as the patch vastly improves the game.
And the patch was released in february 2006:P
Until a crack is released(if ever), the only viable solution for me is the original disc. The mini-maxi image just eats up extra space.

hm German version runs without DVD (with the latest Patch 1.2.1 and NO crack!)

Mind you if I remember 1.2.1b is only multiplayer fixes, which you cant play online if you have a crack in use.

So your best using an image you can make from the original, or from the site.

why can't u play online with the crack?

CRC check, file size check etc

Well, mostly of the patch was multiplayer:
"A few multiplayer desynch issues were fixed.
A couple of multiplayer connection issues were fixed.
Many interface tweaks and fixes were made.
Fix for units getting stuck when trying to move.
Cheat death no longer gives experience if the unit does not die.
Charm and disintegrate spells now work on an entire squad.
Fixed a lockup with Kael using Vorpal Dagger on a hydra.
The Immolation for the Phoenix now properly shuts off after spell energy is exhausted.
Warforged Titan health reserve jumps to 85% (rather than 50%) when they get disabled.
Fixed some issues with purchasing artifacts at the Campaign Reward Screen.
Fixed miscellaneous population bugs.
Fixed bug with units being knocked out of the Gelatinous Cube and immediately dying.
Fixed bug with saving skirmish games using alternate win modes.
Improved functionality of the Wartorn Felldrake, especially with its Ram ability.
Improved functionality of the Cryohydra and Pyrohydra, making them much more deadly.
Fixed issue with lack of visibility in the Underworld when in Spectator mode.
Improved timing for cinematic dialogue.
Improved the balance of the missions.
Added a timer bar for summoned units such as the Minotaur."
But as you can see also it's a lot of SP.
And for online play, DAB is right: the mini-maxi image is recommended. That's why the mini-maxi images are so much wanted by the people who are playing online games(Battlefield series, Halo and so on).
