Uhm, why did you buy Forces of Corruption in German?! (I suggest you read forum rule #1 carefully...)

ok sorry, wanna say...that all works fine now!

english eaw 105 + english foc 1.1 and hatred= good shit!

Blanc screen
 

Any1 else having problems with Vista? If i use my backups and crack FoC does not work, it just gives white screen without sounds... EAW 1.5 works fine with or without crack.

System specs are:

Core 2 Duo 6400
7900 GS with latest drivers
2 Gigs RAM
And finally Vista ultimate 32

Just a little head's up regarding the Hatred crack. It doesn't work on AMD CPUs(at least on Sempron CPUs).

Crack works on (tested, me and my buddies PC's):

Core2Duo E6600 (mine)
AMD A64 AM2 5600+ (buddy)
AMD A64 S939 3700+ (another buddy)
P4 2.8GHz (another buddy here)

And if AMD CPU's would have such a problem with the crack I am pretty sure it would be nuked. Try reinstalling the game, apply the patches and then crack.

I've got an Athlon XP 3000 and neither EAW and FoC cracks work for me!

It's good to know that the new cracks work for at least some people. I just reinstalled EAW, using the 1.2 patch to play the game and just patched to 1.5 when I noticed the thread here, that and I just ordered FOC today...

Crossing my fingers that it works, love the little of the game I have played so far. :)

I have another problem now :(

Got the 1.1 crack to run on my new system, AMD 5600+ 2.8GHz Dual Core with Nvidia 7950GT and 2 Gig RAM, but it freezes when the game loads to the main menu?

The ships in the background of the menu fly about for about 3 seconds then the game locks up and can't move the mouse cursor in the game. Empire at War is installed and patched to v1.05 and also tried launching the safe mode shortcut with the same result.

Luckily I can ALT+TAB and kill the game. Tried with the original disc, then the mini image + YASU and finally the crack and found all three ways do the same thing?

Running the 162.18 drivers for the 7950, so just wondering if anyone else has had force of corruption lock up on the game menu screen?

*UPDATE*

Seems I have to wait 30 seconds at the game menu before Forces of Corruption unfreezes itself and plays normally?

Funnily enough, Empire at War pauses too for about 20 or so seconds at the game menu?

Anyone else had this happen?

Yeah, I was going to post that the other day but figured it'd be dumb to ask if you were waiting the 15-30 seconds it takes to unfreeze... :D

Either way, I wonder what causes it?

Nice to know its not a crack problem for once :)

As for the cause I haven't a clue, but the sound still playing normally when the graphics freeze is odd!

maybe memory paging to hdd.. try increasing swapfile size i guess...

I have 2GB RAM, 1GB pagefile on a separate drive and 100mb pagefile on the drive where windows lives, is that not enough :)

should be yep, though in todays age of sloppy coding, who knows :)
you could try lowering gfx res etc, see if the problem lessens..

It does it in the games safe mode, so that is with everything on lowest settings!

Is the files fragmented?

If the data is in archived files and they are fragmented well it can slow up loading.

And if it persists on using every available bit of memory it will take longer still.

Not in this case DAB, I've loaded games like FEAR and Oblivion on drives far more fragmented than the drive these two games are on and none of them 'froze' for 20-30 seconds.

These games worked fine when I had my ATI card with my other mobo and the retail EXE's and all the patches, the EAW v1.05 and FoC v1.1 cracks never worked on my previous system but the original patches did and none of them froze!

So, I've just reinstalled EAW on another drive, one I just defragged, and ran it straight with no patches, all the ships in the background froze on the menu screen after a few seconds of it appearing then 'stuck' for 20 seconds before the ships started flying again! No disk activity was happening at the time it froze and when it unfroze!

Think it must be a system or nvidia driver problem? I disabled AVG antivirus beforehand so it wasn't the AV causing the freeze! I also uninstalled the BETA 162.18's I was running and installed the official WHQL 94.24 drivers (except my card was not WHQL when I installed them?) and it did the same with those?

F00king weird sh1t this :)

The 100series are for Nvidia GeForce7 and Vista. For XP is 94.24. A full Windows reinstall should be more helpful.
I have 7600GT and the game works fine. IntelD 3.00Ghz(P531), 2gb RAM.

After messing about a bit I've found the culprit to be ZoneAlarm!

If I shutdown ZoneAlarm the game does not freeze at the menu now, If I enable ZoneAlarm it freezes! If I use the 'Engage Internet Lock' function it still freezes, I have to 'Shutdown ZoneAlarm' and then the game does not freeze?

First time I've had a problem with ZoneAlarm though. Feel better now I know it wasn't a hardware or nvidia driver problem!

I dowloaded The gold pack but when i try to install the expansion it appears a window with 5 cages for the cd key that of course i dont have could someone tell me the cd key or where to get it only the for the expansion
