Kill.Switch Crack
 

Does anyone have a crack for the game Kill.Switch?
I've looked on gamecopyworld but there wasn't one there:S. I hope someone has it!

TNX!

Nope! Starforce protected again, so don't expect a crack anytime soon!

You could try the tricks in this thread though:

you may have some luck there!

expect it
 

kill switch is only 12 pcoded functions so dont be angry there will be one soon
i promisse ... maximum 2 weeks

@michse:

Game is out now since 03/23/2004 (see: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/killswitch/518832p1.html).
How come you are thinking it will take maximum two weeks until the crack is available?

simple explanation
 

there wanst a working clone out and it came to a time to much other stuff was intresting at this time :)

original just arrived to some ppl that are skilled enough and will do it soon.

That would be great! because shutting down my CD drives is a bit drastic:P. Wil the crack be posted on gamecopyworld or on the forum? (or both:P)?

There is a crack now...it'll probably show up on GCW soon....everybody happy now? :rolleyes:

Wow!

I'd better keep saying there won't be any SF3 cracks, and then wait for them to appear next day :)

Has SF3 finally been defeated?

Happy Happy Joy Joy
 

I'm happy that's for sure! :D :D :D :D :D !

BarryB you must do that for sure! ;) ;) .

* can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait,* :D

The cracked files are 226mb. :eek:

Still not as bad as the Dead to Rights 'crack'. What was that? something like 500mb? :)

LOL It is true? PFFFFFFF :D :D :cool: :cool:

On the Dead to Rights disc 1 were some data files, about 300-400mb or so, that looked packed/encrypted, I think they had to unpack/decrypt them so a crack could be made? Probably why the kill switch crack is 226mb, more packed/encrypted data to unpack/decrypt?

Reading on some boards the cracked data could be compressed to 55.8mb using 7 zip, WinRAR could only manage to compress the same data to 89.5mb :eek:

Grrrrr
 

Grr seems other SF3 freaks where on this too ... there are alot more SF3 games why choose kill Switch ... but good work on it

btw. don 7zip the big data files

there are several checks on it that got patched with crc exactly to that files .. i checked the reloaded crack

SF3 defeated?!
 

there is no generic for pcode yet, every game needs to be done in single work :(

SF3 isnt much more thn a CDCOPS check but the guard code is very impressive and in different stadiums ... so it will take time and as clones arent good atm always a orig cd is needed i think.

maybe alcohol 2 saves the problem, the beta prog is very cool and copied all beside Toca2 and Obscure which are DVDs and different from normal

I was referring to the RELOADED crack files that could be archived to 55.8mb using 7zip. It's easier to upload 55.8mb than 226mb should someone want to make the crack files available. I didn't mean using 7 zip on the installed game files!

zipped!!
 

I have it zipped to 92 mbs, anyone know where I can host it??

Here!!
 

here is an FTP, one user only.

Someone get it and host it, I'll leave the FTP open for like 2 hours!!

Kill Switch

I'd consider using the latest version of 7 Zip from w*w.7-zip.org, v3.13, as it will compress those files better and save your bandwidth. Plus, 7 zip is free to use.

Sorry misunderstood then
 

I thought u mean the 7zip utility for ramdepacking when in use.

Its a nice tool to save space and as this tool includes all nessesayry stuff to depack the file on the fly its not the the prob anymore.

Btw the best compression on the files is uharcing them with multimedia mode, it saves you another 5 or 6 mb to ul but there will be some guys bringing it to gcw anyway. The ain prob of course is SF monitors gcw too :) and will change protection in the next patch then. But in my eyes patch cracking shouldnt be done as cracksa re fore testing purpose. DL a patch means u want to play through the game and then the one that wants this should buy the game anyway as then its worth the money. Dont tell me all here have original and only want the crack to prevent the orig CD to be broken. I have over 200 Games bought in the last 3 years and no CD yet got a single prob. If they bought it for money im sure they are skilled enough to save a CD from getting defect :)

SF3 is intresting but rumors say SF4 will be something like SF3 with addional Dongle Stuff or online Activasion which has already started.

To much ppl get the cracks yet so noone seems to try to learn more about the protection, neither in the scene or on public boards. You can count the ppl that are intrested in increasing skills to crack a protection but you cant count the ppl that cry for a crack the day a game goes store. :=)

Prolly thatswhy it takes ages to crack it. The more ppl increase their skills the faster you see cracks rising. And crackers will have a rl and search a job later and then what are they best in? Of course in developing a protection that disables their own and friends way to crack :=)

So as soon more ppl start trying beside crying its better as every newone has new ideas how to handle a prrotection. There are enough tutorials in the webs about sf3 vm opcode breaking and so on: check forums use google or just do a look at www.yates2k.net

have fun with it until next update or next game cracks :)

That's what I've been saying all the time...quit whining and fire up the debugger ;)

where can i get the crack now? because the ftp is allready down:S.

Guys, you might not wanna use the crack. I've played the Xbox version, and I know what weapons you get during the game, so you can sure as hell bet I was shocked into a coma when I got to the 3rd mission (2nd if you don't count the training)! I played up to the beginning of the mission last night, and this morning I loaded up the save. Well.. god damnit.. wouldn't you know it, but all I had was a freaking shotgun! Even picking up dead guys weapons wouldn't get me new ones. In the end I get killed cuz I've run outta ammo for my stinking shotgun. I know for a fact that you carry your weapons over from mission to mission (in most cases), so this, to me, seems that the game is still protected some how. Oh well, back to the originals for me.

Level 3
 

Well first in the PC version it is like that, you always start with shotgun and pickup the weapons from deads. I hoped you were right but no way :(
ic hcekced myself. I could pickup and use weapons from deads and tracing through the functions and checks doesnt show something that prevents you from using the weapons u pick up too (which worked for me) im in level 5 actualy with no probs with the RELOADED crack and 2 friends finished the game already also with no probs. So what you wrote is simply wrong.

I think the majority of people are put off learning the art of cracking purely because of the ammount of knowledge, effort and time needed to get a firm understanding of the art.

It's why I can only manage to do simple CD Checks :)

Yes, you were right, I was wrong, but ONLY about the weapons pickup, and not the rest.

I just tested it again (just incase I was messing it up). I played up until after the 2nd save this time (the mission that you have to kill the general in called "Slight Change of Plan") instead of the 3rd save. I had 3 weapons including the M60 (or M4?) you start with (and no shotgun btw). I played the level a bit, then aborted the mission, quit the game to my desktop, and loaded the game back up. Sure enough all I had was the shotgun after the level loaded! For one thing you shouldn't have acces to the shotgun until MUCH later in the game. Yes, I was able to pick up other weapons, but your telling me that it's standard for the game to do this? I mean, how can I start the level with all the weapons from the previous one, but when I load the level after having quit the game it resets to a shotgun? Uh, yeah, right... Sorry friend, but it's the crack that's messed up, and not the way the game plays.

For some reason this game will not load off the originals cuz of Starforce (rather the game won't play), so until it's fixed I guess I'll play the Xbox version again. At least then I can load the game with ALL my previous weapons intact.

Note: you have to play up to the 2nd save called "Slight Change of Plans" for this bug to rear its head. The first save plays the intro to the level, and it will always gives you the right weapons when the level loads. Not so, however, after the 2nd save.

Edit: One thing I've noticed is that when you get ammo for the M4 on that particular level you have your weapon available again. Now, either the game is removing all the weapons 'cept the shotgun (which you shouldn't have anyways), or the game is removing all the ammo for the weapons when you reload a level. Since your only picking up ammo this last part would make more sense.

tired now
 

Sorry i have to say either your install is ****ed or something else because im through the game without any of yous written things. So either it are Game bugs or i dont know. Kill Switch had 12 pcoded function which are used for hidden checks and so on and neither i nor my friend that got me the reloaded version had the problem you discribed and we both finished the Game. To bad the RLD crack is fine :(.

I've only played the game with the Reloaded crack itself overwriting my originals. I wouldn't be able to post in here long if I was using the pure Reloaded rip. Since I own the originals, and since the crack overwrites the necessary files, I would assume it would work properly.

You say your not having the same problems, but have you ever experienced what I'm suggesting? Where the level loads, and you have the weapons from the previous levels, but if you exit to desktop, and reload the level, all you have is the one weapon? No matter what I do this happens, even if I choose a seperate save file. If I continue playing level to level I still have the weapons, but as soon as I quit, and reload it messess up bad (I've gone as far as level 4 to make sure). Works fine for the first 2 (training and level 1), but not after level 2. I'm sure that if I got as far as the next cinematic it would work, but I have a feeling it would mess up again later.

Well, after much trial and error I think I've found a way, at least for me, around this little problem. I loaded up the pure RELOADED version of the game that the crack was from, and which mische seems to have no problems with. Now, before anyone bans me note that I do own the original, and it shouldn't matter which copy I use, mine or the RELOADED one, since I do own the original CDs.

After having installed the RELOADED version I still had the same problem with the weapons disappearing after reloading a level. I had just restarted the game, loaded a level, aborted, then loaded a different level. This is when I noticed something odd. If I load the first save (the one that has the intro in it, and which is the one for start of the overall missison) then load the last save game (in this case mission #4) I will start that mission with the M4 (which is the starting weapon for the first save btw). Now, I don't know about you, but this is pissing me off. At least this time I have a decent weapon with plenty of ammo, but I should also have the AK47, and AKU. BTW: for those that have made it to the oil rig, load up the first level, then load an older one (like the 4th one). You'll notice that you have both he M4 AND the Snpier rifle. Go figure. :( Oh well.. I can wait... I still have my Xbox version, and now I have this work around if I decide to play the PC version.

Please shut up! Reloaded-Version works fine! BASTA!

kill switch crack
 

Guys I cannot seem to open the kill switch crack. After downloading the file I get the message that the file cannot be opened.

Anybody else have the same problem. I disabled all download managers and pop up killers.

To all disbelievers: RELOADED admits they messed up
 

Alright.. I deleted the last post cuz of something I found. If it works I'm sending in the new crack to GCW, and posting it here too. Take a look at the new NFO file from RELOADED about the Kill.Switch release. In it they say "Granted we ****ed up with our release of the game by not checking it properly."

Listing courtesy of ISONews:
http://www.izonews.com/release.php3?releaseid=92518

The most likely reason my crack doesn't work is cuz its from the 1rst release that RELOADED did. Not because of my install being screwed up. Not because of me. Because RELOADED screwed up. This new nfo file isn't the same one that is included in the crack that GameCopyWorld has posted. I'm downing the new one now, and I'll bet you that it fixes the issues I'm having with the game.

------------------------------------
For the love of God, I AM NOT A NEWB! The only reason I have a low post count is because I've been making my own freaking cracks! 8-P

Confused
 

Oke, there is 1 crack on GCW is this the 'Good' one or is this the one with the freaky 'bugs' ? Cause you got me confused by now:P. If this is the Buggy one, when will the 'good' one arrive on GCW?

Despite what tipstaff is saying, theres only 1 available crack for kill.switch. Thats the one on GCW (I'm amazed EMPiRE stuck it on there :) )


Concerning that NFO that is being linked to, learn to read properly. Reloaded are having a go at Vengence about another game. The only reason 2 nfos exsist is because Reloaded, for whatever reason, decided to include an nfo with non of the flaming in their crack directory. You really are making a tit of yourself, Tipstaff. :rolleyes:

Fine.. fine.. I'll stop posting, I'll admit this is getting outta hand. This started as a suggestion by me, and deteriated from there.

All I know is that I'm seriously having issues with this game, and with this crack. I've tried it on 2 machines, with 2 different operating systems, and every time I load a saved game it does the same thing (and no, not the saved game from the other machine). Maybe I shouldn't have posted that link. As your suggesting they probably are just pooching with each other, and I've mistook the 2 different nfos. I getcha point...

What I want to know is if anyone has tried the one on GCW? Actually, give it a try Alfred. Tell me what happens when you try to load a saved game that is past lvl 2 or 3. (quit the game to the desktop, then go load a save) If you start with one weapon (the shotgun), post it here. One poster said he started with the shotgun every time, yet he says that's normal. It's not. Trust me, it's not. I've played my originals on a friends machine, and I know that for a fact. If you start with the weapons you should have, then post it.. please post it, and I'll admit I'm a tit.

How about, trying ur "originals" in your machine and telling us what happens?

I can't use it. For some reason the controller software on these 2 machines keep conflicting with Starforce 3 protected games. Both use the Intel Ultra ATA driver (both are D850 boards). I've tired Toca out as well (import version), and it wouldn't run either. Believe me, I've tried everything to get it to work.

Come to think of it Breed screwed up too.

that sucks :/ u should get ur money back

Oh My God...
 

:eek: Hilarious! It happens to me to:D I autosaved the game on the 3rd level (after i shot the General and i'm trying to rendevous with the Helicopter). I've quit the game and started again, all I had was the shotgun (which you indeed shouldn't have this early in the game) and 1 magazine of bullets! :eek: .
Gues you're right Tipstaff :p lucky for you (now you aint a tit ;) ) bad for every1 who installed the crack :p.
Just for the record:
I had a m4 with full ammo, a ak with full ammo, a aku with full ammo, a **** load of grenades. After restarting I only have a shotgun with 1 magazine ammo, haven't checked the nades though. But that doesn't really matter.

Interesting, if that bug with the crack is real, then how come no one on the obvious forums has mentioned it yet?

My "You really are making a tit of yourself, Tipstaff" comment had nothing to do with the game/crack by the way. It related to that nfo that was linked to and the comments that Tipstaff made about it. I stand by the tit comment :)

They said in the Starforce interview, they got all kinds of people standing by to help you. And they'll even work with you one on one.

If they dont, then fire off an email to the firing line how much crap their full of.
