The crack works fine for me up until I try to play multiplayer then I get an error message saying "cannot download FEARE_2.arch00". Can anyone help or just enlighten me as to why this is? I seem to have that file in my F.E.A.R directory so I can't figure out why it needs to try to download it!

99% of NoCD cracks do not work for online play!
Use the original disc or a mounted mini/maxi/full image to play online.

Ah, fair enough! This is the first time I've come across a game not working online but thanks for your help. Guess I'll just have to keep reaching for the dvd! Cheers.

here's my story
 

Well, i bought fear a while a ago then, when i started to want to play without the cd (i got too many games :p) i used CureRom Pro. And it still working perfectly today, with version 1.3.1, even online and hopefully coz im playing on multiplayer mode mainly.

I'm happy to say that it works for me too. Great game as well!
