Was mentioned earlier in this thread. Works great on my w2k machine, now. :D

Hi,
no, that's not the problem, i did that already..

but the game is buggier than it should be (buggier than with original-dvd)

You deserve credit for it, since you're the one who posted it ;) Of course the cracker who did it deserves credit too :D

Only problem now is that my game hangs alot when I get to the later ages (ie. 2000+) on a huge map and with marathon setting, with as many civilizations as possible. But as I recall it did that too with the DVD in the drive. Guess I just have to play a little less 'harcore' ;)

Hehe, I didn't tested the crack THAT much but I know the game is quite demanding when it comes to great maps and so on.

As for Win2k problem, I guess the solution is to switch over to XP... :p

If you are going to switch, I'd skip XP and wait for Vista then.

Also, you could just dump Microsoft altogether and buy a PS3 when they come out, and keep a cheap PC running Linux, for internet/other use.

That will really help in the matter of Civilization 4.... :rolleyes:

no i not like switching windows.

it is working with new crack, thank you.

dont stop playing anymore for few hours :)

Hi,
yea, seems like it finally works everywhere ;)

I'm confused.
So which nocd crack is best.
Yesterday Carbon release or iND release?

Hi,
i would say carbon-one as it not only works on windows xp..

iND release is the one to use. Carbons release is not working properly.

Hi,
the carbon-fix is based on the ind-crack and just adds proper win2k-copatibility - why should it not work properly?!

Whooops. totally missed the new carbon one... :D

PCgame guy a jerk
 

The guy who tried to do the fixed exe for civ from PC game must be about 5 years old you can tell because of the total lack of intelligence
First it takes him 3 times to do the fix and it probably still has problems and 2 he cant figure out how to play the game and tries to say the reason is that its boring..... We all know that you just cant figure it up cause your either stupid or too young in the mind, probably both.....

Civ is a think based game TBG and only those with very low intellect or child like mind would say its boring...

go back to playing some shoot em up dude and leave the think games to to those that can.

What are you talking about? First PcGame released a non working crack then it came another one that didn't work either. After that iND released a working one with no problem (no iND is not the same guy as Carbon, iND stands for individual. After that carbon released a win2k fix for it). So what are these 3 times you're talking about? Perhaps you should think about what you write a little more.

Secondly, can't figure out how to play the game? WTF? Like crackers care about how the game is played?

About low intellect... All people don't like all kinds of games. Simple as that. What about the child and stuff. I guess you're the one with a childish brain here who say others are dumb because they don't like the same games as you do.

@osco: Learn the art of cracking, do some cracks of your own, understand how difficult it is to crack today's commercial copy protections and THEN start bitching about improper cracks. Until then, be grateful for whatever freebies you get from the underground cracker groups!

What im talking about is how pathetic the guy is that wrote this nfo file that comes with the latest fix by pcgame

so do talk shit to me kosmiq.. pcgame shows his low IQ in his .nfo file
he needs no help from me....

if you bothered to read it he tells you himself in the nfo file that he cant figure out how to play the game, as i said becuse he is a halfwit.

uhm, yah.
Hello friends!
As you mightve noticed, the previous two rels of ours do not work 100%, nor
does the carbon ones. Reason ofcourse is that the game is so boring, that if
we we're to sit through 10 rounds of this game, we would surely die of some
STD. And scenery? who needs it!
So, here we go again then, another repack, and yes. Lets hold our hands
together and pray that it works this time!
INSTALLATION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run updater, copy over cracked exe, play.
GROUP LOVE:

if you wake up kosmiq you would notice that the latest crack is by pc game

what does kos m iq stand for anyway

kos me iq is low ?

You bitch about something you get for free. Don't like it? Don't take it. Don't come here whining just because someone didn't crack the last update for civ4 1.61 21 seconds after its release.

stupid people
 

hey caki

first of all i could not give a crap about any crack as i just leave the damm cd for Civ in the drive and i dont even bother with a no-cd crack
i never ever complained about not having a crack so unless you can learn to read dickhead keep out of this.
what i am saying is that what this wanker pcgame said.. as below
he has no right to say as he can't even work out how to play the game
because if he could he would not say those things..
Civ is the number one strategy game in the world there is no game strategy or otherwise that comes close.

" Reason of course is that the game is so boring, that if
we we're to sit through 10 rounds of this game, we would surely die of some
STD. And scenery? who needs it! "


if the guy is going to crack games then thats what he should do but not
put a game down just cause he is to stupid to play it...

so before you make a coment dude read properly next time or keep your lame mouth shut.

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut. Also if you don't care about cracks why are you here whining? I can't see any reason for it. And saying that the game is the number one strategy game is stupid. Everyone won't think so anyway and its a turn-based strategy game. How about the RTS's thats out there? What if someone happen to like C&C Generals more than Civ. Are they wrong then and you are the almighty truth-teller?

Also I don't see what the problem is with expressing your own opinion. Just as you do he tells his (PcGames cracker). Where does he say that he can't figure out how to play the game? He just says he think its boring. Maybe I think you're boring with your posts here that does nothing but bitch? Am I wrong then if you tell me I am? But if I think that? OMG I must be too stupid to realize how full of truth and interest your posts are.... :rolleyes:

What kosmiq stands for? Well nothing as its just a nick, but I guess you were to dumb to realize that.

Its great to see how natural selection is progressing these days. I'll go talk to my little sister now, no doubt the conversation will be more fruitful than the one I am having right now.

So, here I leave you. Go ahead and bitch on a public forum about how some cracker insulted the one game that your life revolves around. Here's a hint buddy:

No one cares
This forum is here to help people, while you are doing anything but that

Have a nice day

*ignored*

@osco: Two things. One: you've been abusing forum rule #7; next time, you'll get banned for it; take this as a final warning. Two: that note in the .nfo file was probably a joke. (Have you thought about who is smarter: the person who can play a game but cannot crack it or the person who can crack the game but cannot play it?)

I sat down and had a good think about your question and i would say that these two people would be of equal levels of intellegence and then there is the third type like myself who can Play the game and also has no problems in cracking a game so i guess that makes me smarter than both according to your ways of thinking.

which i might add is a very childish way of thinking.

Copying over a file into a folder doesnt make you smart.


There is cracking a game and then there is cracking a game for real.


What you fail to realise is, so what if the guy took a few turns to crack a protection, they are designed to make it difficult to put off crackers. Its not like they get a game and say "oh ill think ill take 5 minutes to crack this protection"


Then you start complaining to people one being a long term member and valued here.


Hell I dont play much Civ nowadays anymore, and I wouldnt sit there all day to make sure the protection works with every click and shortcut and instances.


Like was said at least they did it for people like yourself for free, so why bitch about it?


Now as said if you can crack a game yourself then you would know the complexities of cracking. And again no copying a file over is not cracking. Reversing a file and changing the code is cracking.

On a side note I think TNT cracked 1.61. But ill delay in sending it in, just for a laugh.

Can you paste nfo? I want to see if they admitted stealing the crack, or claiming to have done it themselves :P

TNT? I have not seen any 1.61 crack from TNT and can't see any reason for them to do so either..!

iND did the job fine and then Carbon released the 2k fix... What could TNT do? Well I guess they came up with a reason just to do it... :rolleyes:

Carbon mentioned fixing some sdapi call from the iND crack, when they didn't fix shit aside from win2k... :rolleyes: Fucking crackstealing lamers.

I applaud those crackers for having motivation to make no-cd, even if they don't like to play the game.

@osco: If you're such a great hacker that you suppose yourself to be - I have no idea; I can judge you only from what you write in this forum, nothing else! - then, please, crack this game update properly - and play it through, too, to see it that it really has been cracked properly! - and upload it to GCW. Then, I assure you, you'll be considered a useful member of this forum. Until you actually come up with something substantial, you're considered to only be bitching around - probably without knowing what you're talking about.

As for the childish way of thinking... Does playing through a game require such an amount of practice and prior (self-)education as cracking the game (properly)? Oh, PLEEZ...

to crack or not to crack
 

first of all as i said i did not come here for a crack, i paid for one game this year and that was civ iv so i just leave the cd in the drive since thats the only game i play..

there are other things that can and did bring me to this forum.. do i really have to explain that to you as well...
as for playin Civ and cracking a game i can tell you now that to master Civ IV
is the same as trying to master chess.. it takes a lifetime to do it and it has to be played as deply as chess to be played properly... hence i am ofended when some numnuts puts it down when i and you know that he has not even played 10 turns....

learning to make a no_cd for some does not take long and for others it takes
a long time but i can assure you that to master this art is nothing compared to mastering a game of chess.... the two simply cannot be compared.

Okay, you've answered my second paragraph. How about the first?

Your right they did a crack for AOE3 and not Civ4 lol close enough :P

crackproof
 

To answer your first paragraph I would first have to understand the question

You are either asking me to prove myself..
Or you are someone who loves Civ IV so much that you would really love to have a no-cd patch that actually works
For whatever reason

I can only judge you from what you write so...

My guess is you are asking me to prove myself to you....
I have nothing to gain by proving something to you, do I ?

Remember I did not bitch about a crack.... I just can't stand people that say hash things about anything when I know they
Don't have a clue about it.... And I bet you are the same way..

@osco: You wrote: "The guy who tried to do the fixed exe for civ from PC game must be about 5 years old you can tell because of the total lack of intelligence
First it takes him 3 times to do the fix and it probably still has problems and 2 he cant figure out how to play the game and tries to say the reason is that its boring..... We all know that you just cant figure it up cause your either stupid or too young in the mind, probably both....."

Thus, you are bitching about the quality of the crack. Also, you still haven't proved that you would be able to crack it properly; actually, you haven't even proved that you are capable of cracking anything at all. In that case, you do seem to be someone who bitches about something that he was given for free, while he doesn't even know how much work was put into that free product. "Shut up!" and similar answers are quite appropriate in such cases.

You may be right about the incompetence of the crackers being unable to play the game thoroughly enough, to check whether the crack is proper or not. However, even if you are capable of playing the game, you are also incompetent to crack it properly. If you're unable to crack the game at all (0%), who are you to complain to someone who was able to mostly crack the game (9x%)?

According to what you wrote as far, you made an idiot of yourself and you're getting more and more entangled into it. On the other hand, there's absolutely no need to explain or prove anything about yourself. But then don't bitch about the cracks either. Instead, be patient, and some time a really proper crack may become available.

This noCD thing remind me of old days of late 80ties and early 90ties, when the main copy protection where in game quizes about something that can be only found in the manual.

Of course, early pirates dealt with this in similar way as today is done with noCD checks.

The sneaky thing that developers introduced was that some games had such check somewere in the middile of the game, and not only at start, which someone who casually played the game would not find out, and not make a workaround.

Mostly it referred to the same call in the protection. All checks throughout the game pointed to the same function and so crackers could make that function always return a valid number.

Right, that's enough name calling for today. Back on topic please, and the first one to throw another stone gets a ban.

I can't understand why PcGame released yet another crack for this game. There were already 2 working ones... I'll never understand that honestly.. :confused:
