please help
 

i got the same problem as JohnnyRoberts and i use xp do you have any idea what i could do i really need to patch IWD 2

then do it manually with a hex editor...

00026B20: 6A B0
00026B21: FF 01
00026B22: 68 C3

first part is file offset, 2nd column is the original byte pattern, third column is the byte to put in (overwrite)

so...

file offset 00026B20 -> change the 6A to B0
file offset 00026B21 -> change the FF to 01
file offset 00026B22 -> change the 68 to C3

which i think is effectively

mov al, 1
retn

either way, 3 bytes to patch, pretty simple

use hexworkshop (www.bpsoft.com) or something to edit the file
make sure OVERWRITE (press the ins key so the OVR part in the bottom status window is enabled)...

then edit -> goto -> enter the file offset (make sure HEX is selected)
click go

make sure the hex window left portion is where the cursor is and type in the replacment byte

repeat it for the 3 places you have to patch

hmm actually, its all one after each other

so just goto the first offset, make sure OVR is on (you may get a nag about this)
and enter the 3 bytes to replace (B0 01 C3) - you should see the original bytes too ( 6A FF 68 )

if you do NOT see those original bytes there, do NOT make the changes...

also, BACKUP the file you're editing, in case you make a mistake...

once done, file->save to save the changes you made...

thx
 

thank you so much.
that worked perfectly;)

Patch doesnt work for me because i am using windows 7 64 bit!

Is there a solution for this?:(

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/inzow/error.jpg

I tried executing the crack through my laptop in network [windows 32bit]. and this is what i get in the command Prompt.

Cracking IWD2.exe <v2.01 -- 5029888 bytes>: failed.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Have you tried running it in a CMD which is run as Administrator?




Sorry I couldn't resist!

Because it's ashamed of its past.

Great! This really works! Do you know how to crack (with offset and hex values) icewind dale 1 patch 1.06, and heart of winter patch 1.41? ...or at least how to find those values...

Thanks for help

Because it's just how it works. You need to open the CMD/DOS prompt prior to launching DOS cracks in order to see their messages.

My struggle so far...
 

Hey guys, I have just signed up because I am really stuck, I am not particularly up to date with Hex editing, I have however tried the solution on this thread:

I do not know how to run the crack in DOS so I tried to do it manually

Please excuse my ignorance if I am doing it wrong but I could not find anything matching those values when using hex workshop. I am new to this program though.

If anyone knows how to do this in a very simple step by step way (either how to run infinitycracker in DOS or how to do it manually) I would be very grateful for any help you can give. I am running windows 7 so other cracks I have tried simply won't open. I even have CD2 saved on the hard disk, I just don't have a blank CD to burn it on lol

iNZoW and DeanoM86: You probably have a different version of the game. The link says the crack is for version 2.01; what's your version?

my version:
 

Hey, according to patch info file, the version is:

I did install the English patch for the game...

Also just to confirm, I have looked in properties and the game says version 2.0.1.0

Ok. it's quite easy.

Steps:

1. open IWD2.exe with hex editor,
2. press Ctrl+g to open a "goto" window,
3. insert the offset (be sure hex radio button is checked): 00026B20, press "Go",
4. modify manually hex values on right side, putting B0 instead of 6A, 01 instead of FF, and C3 instead of 68.
5. save new file as IWD2.exe (file cracked)

Take a look at attached image.

I'm going to ask it again: someone could be so kind to tell us all hex value(hex value and offsets) to crack icewind dale 1 patch 1.06, and heart of winter patch 1.41? thanks a lot.
