I'm using the german version of Cossacks 2.
The USB solution works (backup with alcohol, RMPS, IDE shut off with Starf***)

Is there a way to create a miniimage?
Is ist possible to play game without the external drive?

could someone explain what is this USB method ?

USB Method:

1) Download new Alcohol 120%
2) remove existing SF protection

reboot after you used the exe file
3) Copy original CD with the datatype "Starforce 1/2/3" and the option "burn rmps to recordable media" with slow speed (1x)
4) active "RMPS" in the options menu in alcohol
5) get via emule

there are two files, first use sfdrvup.exe which causes an error, is ok
second use sfdrvpatch.exe and patch file
6) start game, game asks to reboot, do so
7) download StarF*ck from http://www.project-star****.tk/ and disable CD and disable "Node"
8) connect an external USB drive to your PC, insert disc2 and play

hope i didn't forget anything

i don't have any external USB drives :( and what does it do anyway ?

i can't believe this, the game came out 3 weeks ago and there is no crack yet we have to resort to some ****ty methods that only work for like 2% of people who try it

@AloneSoul:
If you want a cr*ck then build one :rolleyes:
But I can understand you, the last few years it was very simple to play a game without CD. It seems, that this good times are now over.
I was not able to build a mds file with my original CD that works :mad:

Maybe someone else can do this?!?

im sorry if i didnt read all through this is there a crack out somewhere available for this game?

@adamf4i:
reading is fun :rolleyes:
sorry, no cr*ck available as I know

I got this running no problem using the Carbon method, but there are strange goings on. In campign mode I am the English but Im fighting the English, now have I missed something in my history lessons or is this fade protection?

Cossacks is geil !!!
 

I just burned CD 2 of the clone Carbon release with latest alcohol software and can play the game now with my external USB 2.0 DVD/RW drive.
No problems ! Fine ! :D

ya it mine works with a virtual drive but i deleted the iso image so i just want to find a crack anyway thx guys ill just keep checkin back

Can you use a burned cd if you only have a IDE dvd rom?

any way to make it work if I don't have a USB drive ?

hmmm
 

i followed the carbon method exactly but it sayus i have amn unlicenced disc? any1 suggestions?

Im having the same problem as you
