far cry primal ?? no crack

[mikey26]

far cry primal ?? no crack

we dont deal with cracks here.read the rules buddy.

[WaltonSimons]

Funny you should say that, given that the forum is related to backing up games. But yeah, one needs to have FCP tied to a UPlay account to make it run.

The conversion is missing Trials of the Blood Dragon. While no Far Cry is appearing in the title, the game is a direct sequel to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

[QUOTE=The conversion is missing Trials of the Blood Dragon. While no Far Cry is appearing in the title, the game is a direct sequel to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.[/QUOTE]

I think that not one of them

source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry

[WaltonSimons]

I played both of the Blood Dragon games and like I said, Trials is a direct sequel to Blood Dragon, only it's without the Far Cry label (which, honestly, Blood Dragon itself shouldn't even get IMO). You literally play as the children of Rex Colt from the Blood Dragon game.

[Grumpy]

It really is a 'technicality' ... Fileforums is about creating a 'backup' of our purchased games and whilst we dont allow the direct discussion of warez we can not create our backups without using a Crack to play the backup. 'Technically' it is not our fault the game developers/publishers force us to use a Crack to play our legally created backup. The EULA states we can create 1 Backup ... the EULA just fails to mention that creating the backup is useless unless using a Crack to play. ;)

What if i tell you i can play every single backuped game (i purchased) without a crack? I just install the game and let Steam/Uplay/... search the game files. That's it. Just one note to mention - especially for steam - is that the game files must be installed in a Steam\steamapps\common directory with the correct dir name of the game folder. Otherwise, yes, a crack will be needed.

Yes there are exceptions. Steam's library of games is a lot bigger than it used to be, Steam never used to accept NON Steam games, now it does.
Going right back to when I started here 'most' games needed a Crack to play from the Backup. Some games depending on the Protection used could be played from creating a Mini Image from the Original Disc.
One game I purchased, (really can not remember the name of that game right now) needed the Disc in the Drive to play .. but searching the Disc I realised it came with the 'NoCD Crack' already on the disc, the developers were using a Cracked exe to test the game ... they accidentally left that Crack on the Disc! So they paid heaps of money for a Protection then wasted that money by including the Crack for us. ;)
My main point was, it is ok to talk about Cracks as they are sometimes needed to play your backup and Fileforums is about creating a Backup which can be successfully played without needing the Original Disc to actually play. ;)

No screen icons for Far Cry 1/3 created others fine. I did Far Cry primal instead of the Trilas blood Dragon as was in same folder and all works fine, took 6.5 hours to do all compressed from 66.1gb file down to 47.3gb and installs in around 22 minutes all in all. Be good if could change setup to highlight Far Cry Primal instead.

have you done the point 3) of the info
3: Copy Icon from Icon folder to each folder of games
otherwise the icons not shown on desktop

[Stveboss]

Done all that but not problem just copy paste them as did twice and came up same so alls working anyway and 110% just not have dragon trials game, so if select not install that it doesn't install Far Cry Primal but sorted as installed all again and run 100%.

Only other problem is that this not in conditions list "Trials of the Blood Dragon" as redone due to updates.

[Gillian]

Any Update for this one then without the blood dragon games in list as they don't run windows 10 ?

[mausschieber]

Any Update for this one then without the blood dragon games in list as they don't run windows 10 ?

Done Updated and registry added

[Gillian]

Thanks for the Update didn't expect that quick.

All done and installs Icon on screen but 1-2-6 not highlighted so will do again and all names as as you put in OP so not that as even check in DSG settings and all exactly as is but will redo anyway.

Seen in OP that games have BIN at end of names but that not in DSG settings would that make difference so editied DSG with the names BIN at end as not DSG see if that works. ??
