Something new here. After installing the addon the game updates to 1.03. But something changed. The russian crack now works with the main game. No bad message at starting the map. So you can play the main game straight away. I had not the time to test it properly if its stable or errors occur.

Now we need a solution for the addon.

Maybe this will work its just a thought.

Load the game with Daemon Tools Pro with a virtual "IDE" drive (not SCSI).
And try to run the game.

I've tested the method CJB wrote about..
Created a Image from my Original Anno 1701 DVD (German) @ 5x Speed and "Tages" Protection Settings.. mounted the image in an IDE drive and the game runs fine (with patch 1.04 installed).

Using Daemon Tools Pro Advanced 4.10.0218

Edit: Forgot to mention that i've installed the anno 1701 addon aswell.. dunno if that has any effect..

Edit²: Works with "Anno 1701 - Der Fluch des Drachen", too.

So the crack for version 1.04 works fine with the main programm. Now we need one for the addon.

Too bad, this "crack" for v1.04 is nothing else but the v1.01 crack with a changed version number ;)

Please, report this fake crack in the GameCopyWorld Support forum to have it removed. Thanks!

Done.
