Barry, and that means.. ?! /me confused

yeh and their counter 'slogan' was something about scene bans and narq's talking....

bit ironic considering the past....

Well, I agree in stopping bashing the teams. If there´s a faulty crack, fine. Let it get proper by themselves or others. Anyway, it WILL get proper than soon, if someone showed the way how to break into the protection.

Sure, there were times where small unwrappers could do the magic. But any new version of the protections fuck around with new blacklistings (see DT Pro) and deep system driver shit nowadays. So we should be thankful that there are still skilled people to try to compete. ... and if there won´t be cracks within a fews days, also anyone is crying and bashing at the teams... Is xxx not able to crack it? So, in my oppinion, a faulty crack is better than no crack, because the faulty one will be propered asap.

I still knock on wood for FLT. I guess they will be no.1 some day again, kickin´ publishers ass with their skills...

And in the meantime... Do your cracks yourself or proper the faulty ones.
Anyone?

So, then just send them at gcw.

My 2 cents, you see.


Oldschool forever!

"Quality, Tradition, and Pride"

Oh the fucking irony. How can something be quality when they don't even remove the protection? Just use a technique better known as a workaround, which is only good until someone over at securom smartens up and adds more triggers to trip up this kind of shitty cracking. Sure, some of you might argue, protections are harder these days, and this is better than removing the entire protection yadayadayada....

Thats crap. If the protections are so hard, why then are Vitality and Hatred releasing cracks with the securom completely removed? (Vitality doesn't clean up the obfuscation, but thats a cosmetic matter....). Because they put the effort into it, have the skills, and do it properly.

And here come these Fairlight guys releasing cracks with the protection still intact, and then they have the nerve to say that this is "Quality"...? "First working wins"...?

Maybe we should all just start coding loaders then....

But whatever, if you guys want to support this kind of crap and shit on everything that "Quality" stands for, go right ahead. I mean, you're satisfied as long as you can play your games without the CD, right? Then go on, ignore me....

Badly made cracks suck. Big time. But, we do get them for free. Someone is making the cracks on their spare time. With what right do we complain? Why should a cracker be flamed for what he does? For free. For us all. Ok, so there is a LOT of prestige in the scene, but who benefits? In the end - we who want to use the cracks.

The crackers is not the enemy. The companies who put the protections in are. Anyone who is willing to code even the tiniest workaround should be praised for it. Why? He just made our gaming a little bit easier.

"Buh! Windows is a crappy load of bugs. I'm gonna use Linux instead!" - Hey - feel free to!

I may not know the forum rules 100% right of my head, but I do know this: You are allowed to NOT use whatever software you want. I doing that. All the time.

someone making it out that they're the best etc.. and are proven otherwise, deserve no respect what so ever in my book.. if you're going to crack it, crack it properly, dont make lame methods, and cut corners.... thats how it was before... sad how things change

Without prestige - no groups. Without groups - I'm guessing a whole lot less cracked games out there.

But I agree about the useless NFO-wars. That's just childish. I've yet to meet a "l33t c00l cracker" who dared to stand his ground against anyone in real life.

EDIT: How about we just let this go? I'm fairly sure that all of us will NOT be of the same oppinion in the end. ;-)

No disrespect to anyone, except "l33t c00l crackers". 'kay?

Oh christ!

Ban me for starting this sorry thread, I seem to have started a raging offtopic war of words, teach me to keep my big gob shut :(

Am christ under pseudo :D. Where's the Ban button? ;)

It's that little red triangle on the right above the 'Join Date:' text, just click it ask to ban BarryB!!

Maxi and Mini-images FTW! :D

PD: and this game too w00t!

@BarryB: Moderators also read this thread. There is no need to ask us for a ban... :rolleyes::D

Take it easy Barry. We all disagree. About mostly everything. All the time. Just like at my families x-mas dinners. So this is like x-mas! ;-)

It's a new Monty Python sketch GLH: "Is this the right Forum for an argument", my comments seem to start arguments :rolleyes: :D

Any road up, the Timeshift crackfix (Crackfix? It's a cracked patch isn't it!) seems to be working now, tried it last night and didn't have any obvious problems but will there be a proper? :)

you must be carefull or one day people will says: "BarryB starts a new thread, let's argument!" and other will says: "yupppiiiii" :D

btw: the ban button was disabled ;) and euthanasia wasn't an option. :)
