"4. Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\System\MountedDevice and rename the virtual drive letter (mine is G: for instance) to G:.Backup."


I did everything what you said...

I changed the scsi-Persmissions, I changed the D-Tools-Permissions, I renamed the dosdevice, I have a fresh D-Tools installation with different drivernames, .....the i mounted the Image and then I closed D-Tools and almost evrything else and tried to start the game but it always sais that the wrong DVD is insite...Sure that this way also fits to the European Version? The US PAtch doesn't....

LoedD 15-11-2005 10:02

Where do I get the patch from?
is it for the EU version too?
How big?

Maybe I'll find some trick:D

cr@zy_Killer 15-11-2005 10:04

I guess it's just for the US Version....

E: Does PoD work without DVD with Daemon Tools 4 ?

LoedD 15-11-2005 10:10

guess not
we'll see

junkano 15-11-2005 10:12

LoedD 15-11-2005 10:17

MATRIX3W325.BIN (patched)
Matrix3.exe (patched)
fileparser.dll (patched)

This could help alot
Thx!

And one more thing, which may give a fresh topic on this worn out thread:

Is it me or a lot of the game textures are gone??

I remember being amazed at how good Neo, Morpheus, and (specially) Trinity's outfit textured looked on the countless screenshots posted on several gaming sites.

Now that I have the game I dont see these textures!! If you want a clear example, here is one:
On the first stealth level, when Mr. Anderson is escaping the building, just at the end Trinity is waiting for him with her motorcycle. Now, you do that level and you watch trinity's textures. Her outfit is nothing but a blocky, dull, all-black skin!!!
Where is the great texture skin we all saw on screens like this??:

cr@zy_Killer 15-11-2005 11:12

you've problems.....

Isn't there a possibility to crack this game?
The Image-way doesn't seem to work for the european Version....

Joe Forster/STA 15-11-2005 11:19

@LoedD: Why don't you patch those files yourself?!

LoedD 15-11-2005 11:22

56k:(

LoedD 15-11-2005 11:33

I found a post in another thread that seems to work for this SR7.
Maybe anyone can try:
fully uninstall d347,
install d4 (what surprise:cool: )
unplug all physical drives
don't use any emulation, hiding ...whatever stuff

U maybe also need to uninstall alcohol

It is confirmed yet that it works for FEAR 1.02
good luck:D

Joe Forster/STA 15-11-2005 11:40

Oh, well, slow Net connection... :( Hmmm, doesn't FilePlanet or one of these very large game-related sites offer sending the files, you selected, to you on a CD, for a relatively low price?

spidoman 15-11-2005 11:59

Unplugging my all my physical drives, or making major changes to my registry is much to complicated when a nocd patch will be made soon.

janys 15-11-2005 12:00

How I get The Matrix: Path of Neo 1.01 working:

1) Install Daemon-Tools 4
2) Download NEO-Mini image
3) Mount the mini-image to DT4 and enable all emulations
4) Run SR7.Stop_1.0.exe
5) Play

If the game wants the CD to be under specific drive letter, then change the letters of your drives.

However, the patch seems to not fix anything... I'm still experiencing low fps even though games like Quake 4 run on high settings on my machine and their graphics are far more superior...

LoedD 15-11-2005 12:01

Why should I pay for this? I have the EU version and I'm not interisted in this patch at all!
I just want the files that cause the disc initialisation to fail, to find a way to start the game anyway.

I don't think so.
Look at the releases of all new games. Most are mini or maxi images.
Cracks are going to die!

spidoman 15-11-2005 12:07

Janys why do I run sr7.stop if it doesn't even see virtual drives from DT4?

Hydraulic_Man 15-11-2005 12:10

I have the same problem, sr7.stop says there is nothing to hide...

cr@zy_Killer 15-11-2005 12:21

to me it seems as if these Images doens't fit to the EU Version....
I tried these steps again and again but he still wants the DVD....even with DT4 nothing changed.....

I've got almost the same thing... Except that it starts flashing and I get a small black spot, like 1/4th of the screen, in my top right corner. The other 3/4th just keeps flashing and nothing happens... Anyone know what might cause this? Do I need a new video card?

Uhh, yeah... sorry, my bad. It hid Alcohol's virtual drive. So it means (and I just tested it) that I don't have to hide anything. Just pure DT4.0 emulation...

Cracks never die, only talent does.

cr@zy_Killer 16-11-2005 04:22

It doesn't work with just D-Tools 4......he wants the damn DVD....

So my BIG question:

Is it possible to get this game to run without putting the DVD into the drive if it is the unpatched European Version ?

Or: is it possible to develop a (.EXE) Crack for this game?

If I use Deamon Tools 4 / Anti-Blaxx 1.17 and the bigger Mini-Image it just says
that the "Safety module" couldn't get activated properly....(if that is bad english I'm sorry :D )

If I use Anti-Blaxx 1.18 he just wanted the CD, so 1.17 seems to work better..(??)

Vince160 16-11-2005 06:21

I just used rs7.stop with Daemon Tools and that got the game running... Well it avoided the protections, but then the screen trips out :(

Sicherheitsmodul error just tells u that it detected an emulator (ab1.17). That means ab1.18 is better but doesn't work either.

cr@zy_Killer 16-11-2005 09:01

DAMN!

I see.....thx!

cr@zy_Killer 16-11-2005 09:44

The Image.....is that the .rar File or is it the .mds File? In other Boards it says that you need a very good .mds-Image to get the game to run....There is a mds-File in the rar-File but when I unrar it and try to mount it the Daemon Tools always tell me that this file isn't acceptable....

What can I do to work on Geforce MX?
 
Hello, i was having problem to make it work on my Geforce MX 440 64MB
When it started, the game stay in a white screen, then i put an older driver (the only who works), and it really works. I change the regedit like someone posts here, and it works fine. But there is only one big problem: The chars do not appear (the patch 1.1 sad that it would fix, but didn't here), anybody could help me please?

Thx a lot.

DABhand 16-11-2005 10:17

I take it you dont have the original. If you did you would see why you have a problem.

cr@zy_Killer 16-11-2005 10:46

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand what about the Image...? :D

vedderx 16-11-2005 12:49

Geforce 4mx ack..no way in hell that card will work...

Its not supported, not even the TI models work...sorry man, go pick up a Radeon 9800 or something, those are cheap these days.

klux 16-11-2005 15:45

The manual of the game says Geforce's MX don't works, but i made it, with this problem.. :(
Is there anythink i could do ?

Please help, i really wanna play this game.

DABhand 16-11-2005 16:24

Like I said, it doesnt support your card. There is nothing you can do, except buy a new graphic card.


This should be a hint for others, if you goto buy a game always read the minimum requirements, if not sure check online for what your card is and how old it is compared to the minimum card needed.


Buying a game cause you think it may work when it clarely states it doesnt, is like throwing money down the toilet.

Smood47 16-11-2005 17:57

I can confirm that Daemon tools 4 does not work with either 1.0 or 1.01. In fact I had 1.0 working with D3.47 + SR7 then I installed patch and tried to use DT4.... doesn't work. Asks for the DVD. I didn't unplug my CD/DVD drives though and I don't intend to.

To get this to work with the patch using only the game mounted in Daemon Tools and some registry modifications:

1. Find the 'Scsi Port #' key under HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SCSI\ that corresponds with Daemon Tools (look at the Driver key for the Daemon tools driver name.) Either change the permissions to Deny everything for your user or group, or change the Driver value here to anything else. (Securom will look up the driver in another part of the registry so it doesn't fool it if you're not using the default Daemon Tools driver name.)

2. Find HKLM\System\MountedDevices and locate the registry key that corresponds with your virtual drive. For example: \DosDevices\G: is mine. Rename this key to anything else such as \DosDevices\G:.backup. Make sure that you do not deny any permissions to MountedDevices, otherwise Securom will indicate that a security module couldn't be activated.

3. Find HKLM\SOFTWARE\D-Tools and change the permissions to Deny everything.

If you still get the message about a security module that couldn't be activated, either you are denying permissions to something in the registry that you shouldn't be, you have another virtual drive program that it is detected whose presence you'll need to hide, or it's complaining about some other active program. For instance, if I have Regmon or NewsLeecher open, Securom complains. Why Securom would blacklist a Newsreader I don't know.

By the way, this worked for the latest FEAR patch as well. Some of these registry changes are reverted when you reboot and need to be reapplied. The change that hides D-Tools will prevent Daemon Tools from loading so make sure it's already running and change it back as necessary.

UPDATE: If, when you installed Alcohol or Daemon Tools, you kept the default names for the drivers, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall the software. This time, choose your own names for those drivers, because Securom is hard-coded to look for the default names. I uninstalled Alcohol and reinstalled it in expert mode (minus the StarWind iScsi service), choosing some random names for the drivers. Then I took the same steps I did for Daemon Tools (this time denying permissions on HKLM/Software/Alcohol Soft instead of HKLM/Software/D-Tools) and it worked.

Will this work for DT4 ?

Neubauer21 17-11-2005 02:01

No this will not workj wiuth daemon tools 4 this is the same procedure from Link Removed ? just got it working with 3.47

DABhand 17-11-2005 02:13

Edit your post, no torrent links or anything torrents allowed here (i.e. no warez talk)

Neo , the one 17-11-2005 03:56

I got the game working with Daemon tools 4,
You need to go to the installation map and then right click on the exe file en then properties, after that you go to compatibility en you choose to run the game in Windows Nt 4.0 (service pack 5) , after that you mount the image in daemon tools 4 en then you simply run the game! :D

Have fun!!!:cool:

DABhand 17-11-2005 04:17

I didnt have any problem at all running mine without compatibility issues with DT4.

But as ive said, if you dont have a good image made then you will get problems.

XtremeX 17-11-2005 10:18

I've got patch 1.1 working :)

Just make sure you have no Alcohol virtual drive setup (so disable it in Alcohol)
Mount image in DT 4
Use SFNightmare & click "disable CD drives"

Then it works :)
