Heh You were talking about me? ;)
You are telling me that if I ask for cd-key i dont have oryginal game probably and if Someone ask for crack they have oryginal? I dont get Your way of thinking. I saw many request for crack on this forum, do You think they ask for it for fun? That they want to crack oryginal game? Maybe 1% of requests need crack ,coz of game badly works ,or bugs, but dont count mostly on it ok? ;). It's sure they dont have oryginal game. Crack is almost the same as cd-key. I'm sorry i woke You up from dream ^^
Cheers

@Kwic: Forum rule #2 clearly says you may not request CD-keys/serials. People with only a bit of sense can find out that this doesn't mean you can ask WHERE to find CD-keys/serials. Obviously, you didn't understand why forum rule #2 is there; you only read it and now are trying to circumvent it. Don't. Consider this as a final warning!

A crack can legally (you know what I mean) be used by many users.
And one key is only for one person!

Man, if you have plenty of games at home, do you like it always to search your discs and put them into the device?
If you make this many times peer day, your discs could be scratched, broken etc.

LoedD 09-09-2006 13:37

That's right. U can ask for a crack so U don't need to switch CDs/DVDs all the time. If U ask for a key it's clear that U don't own the game else U would have a key. Do U now understand our way of thinking??:cool:

Kwic 10-09-2006 01:44

Joe Forster/STA- Dear user :) I dont know why You warn me. I read before i wrote first post here that i can't ask about cd-key. And i understood it. I dont remember if i asked "where i can find cd-key". I asked "should i have cd-key to play oryginal game?" (sth like that). It isnt ask direct for cd-key so i dont understand it a little ;)
Nightmare-nice way of thinking ;)
LoedD- yes :)
But i just want make all You sure that not all user use Your cracks to play game without cd only ;) Cheers

Sure they do, why would the warez users come here to get a crack when a crack would more than likely come with their warez'd (cracked) game. :rolleyes:

Most people would prefer to use a NoCD crack instead of risking damaging their original discs. In my particular case, I have 2 boys who like to play many games, and I dont like giving them the original discs to play because of the risk of damage and the added hassles of getting the damaged disc replaced etc. (not that they have ever damaged any of my discs as yet but that is possibly because they only get to use the original disc when there is no crack available).

So its easier for me, and them, to use a NoCD crack. That way I avoid the hassles of sending away for a replacement disc, and its easier for my kids as it saves them a severe beating from me if they damage my expensive discs!!

That seems to be the most common reason why people come here looking for cracks. In my particular case I HATE the noise the drive makes when reading the disks and, of course, having to search all over my cd's for the right disk or having to swap them constantly when I have more then one great game to play at the same time :p

TQ v1.15 worked using the same method I used to run v1.11.

(1) Installed game and updated to v1.15.
(2) Mounted Bender's mini-image into DaemonTools v4.03 virtual drive. Enabled all emulation options then turned off DT. When it asked if I wanted to keep all the emulation settings on, clicked "no."

(3) Used CureROM loader v1.0 (not the latest one or the special one made just for TQ) and started the game.

I started a new game yesterday and played for about 3 hours without any crashes. I didn't notice any obvious improvements from v1.11 though.

iriss 12-09-2006 04:09

Playing Titan Quest with CureRom, my hero suddenly had a huge grey beard:eek: , looked hillarious :p .
I tried the v1.15 crack, which by the way worked perfectly without crashing for hours, and the beard was gone :D

fratres 15-09-2006 05:08

Got a problem with the GCW Mulit-patch 1.15: game starts, but in english, even though I installed the german version. Is there a patch for german around?
Tried to play the game using Virtual CD 8 (somebody wrote it works without any problems), but it keeps telling me to put the original cd in the player ... any workaround for vcd there without dt and securom loader?

v1.20 works with mini-image
 
The just released Titan Quest v1.20 works with Daemon Tools v403HE, mini-image[Benders], and AlkiSecurom v1.0 as per a prior post.
Here's the steps:
1) If you want to use a saved game, go into your registry and copy the CD-Key you entered. It will be under THQ.
2) Uninstall Titan Quest.
3) Install Daemon Tools v403HE.
4) Install Titan Quest using an ISO, Daemon Tools and your CD Key.
5) Update with v1.20. Just put the update in your THQ folder and run it.
6) Unmount your Titan Quest ISO and mount Bender's mini-image in Daemon Tools. I turned all emulations off and did not exit Daemon Tools.
7) Run alkiSecurom v1.0 and point it to your Titan Quest Executable file in the THQ folder.
8) You will be asked to put your Titan Quest original disk in the CD tray, which surprised me. I just used a copy and everything worked okay.


I started the game and my previous saved games were all there. I loaded all of them and played awhile and was able to transport all over. Everything seems to be just fine. Hope this information helps others out there. I also hope that I have not said anything in my post that I am not supposed to.

Thanks to all of the previous posters. Your advice worked for me.

TippeX 23-09-2006 04:27

1.20 update apparently has no protection, so using alkirom etc.. is pointless.. try scanning the updated executable with pid and report back please..

i read theres no securom on it, but a cdcheck still remains....

daffyduck 23-09-2006 13:41

install new 1.20 patch and play, no curerom or securom loader needed, just use a backup iso image from your original dvd or cds.

patch 1.20 removes securom, only cdcheck is there. just create an iso image of your original dvd and mount it to daemon tools or any other viltual drive, and play.

BarryB 24-09-2006 13:50

About time pubs/devs woke up and got rid of the protection, now we'll know if it was the securom or crappy coding that was causing problems :)

If you want to make a NoDVD for the v1.20 patch, just Hex Edit the following byte in the Titan Quest.exe:

Offset 0x000089A7 change byte 74 to EB

Alternatively, search for byte pattern 74 7F FF and change the first byte to EB so it reads EB 7F FF!

Nightmare 24-09-2006 14:27

I can't start the game because of the engine.dll.

It also happens with the original.
Does anybody know a solution??

P.S.: I know this isn't a backup-problem ;)

patch the PROC not the conditional, it might be called somewhere else later on, and you'll have missed it... :)

BarryB 25-09-2006 06:24

[whispers]Don't know how to do that[/whispers]

We are talking 'me' here you know, not some uber cracker :) I'm not a proper reverser you know, just a 'conditional' one :rolleyes:

If it doesn't work i'm sure someone will pipe up, I've been playing for 4 hours now from thes start and no problems yet, no crashes or weird things happening. Time will tell though!

Joe Forster/STA 25-09-2006 06:58

What TippeX is saying that, instead of changing the call to the CD check:
Code:

call CDCheck
test eax, eax
jne OK => jmp OK
notOK:
[...]

destroy the CD check by making it always return a TRUE value:
Code:

CDCheck:
[...]
=>
xor eax, eax
inc eax
retn

or something similar. This way, all calls to CDCheck will get a TRUE value, not only those calls that you actually found. Good luck! ;)

BarryB 25-09-2006 15:22

I understood what he meant, not how to do it Joe :)

I found the place where it does the usual GetDriveTypeA checks etc, except there is nothing calling this routine, so couldn't find where it was being referenced from, that's where I got stuck with that! I also had to use IDA, instead of lame but friendly w32dasm as it kept crashing it when loading the exe in, obviously some anti-disasm tricks!

In the end I patched the message as a last resort, it worked, but as TippeX says, for how long?

Problems with Patchin' to 1.2
 
Hey everyone...

I have a problem with patching the game to 1.2, I always get an unknown error.
Until 1.15 there was no prob, I can't find out whats missing so it would be kind if anyone could help.

My system is a bit old but game's runing nice with 1.15 here's a little list:

AMD Athlon XP 1800+
1024 Ram
Geforce 5700

Thx and bye
BoB

GLH 03-11-2006 22:50

What error-message do you get exactly?

BoBBeatzen 04-11-2006 08:02

Hi,

"With update from Titan Quest an error arose(occured)"

have a german version and translated it with google, hope that's exact enough couldn't find better translater.

Have a nice weekend
BoB

Joe Forster/STA 04-11-2006 09:31

That is a meaningless error message. Send it to the publisher; I'm sure they'll just LOVE it! :)

BoBBeatzen 04-11-2006 18:06

Oh man shame on undetailed error msgs the prob was that there was not enough space on drive C: thanx for your time anyway.
Everything works now.

Bye
BoB

recently bought local versionas all can guess 20min was record time without crash, naturaly started to look for the patch, and obviously couldn't apply one - ussual "unknown game version", so CD was sold cracked:(
could someone share original game exe, or post a link where to get one.
thanks in advance

Unfortunatley sharing original game files is against board rules! Also, if you've sold the game then you have no right to have it installed, so delete it off your machine.
