Battlefield 2 1.02 NO-DVD?

Could anybody please create a NO-DVD-CRACK for version 1.02 of Battlefield 2!
Or does there already exist one? Whether on GameCopyWorld.com nor on MegaGames.com I can find a crack!

Please help!

Just use the Mini Image!!! there is no crack

GLH	07-08-2005 12:00

I think it's the same situation like with Total Club Manager 2005. Since there is a well working MiniImage, no new crack will come.

Not worth someone bothering with a no-dvd for the current version with another update so close.
Perhaps someone will release a no-dvd crack for this one.*Prays*

It certainly does, but for some of us the mini-image is too much trouble. I know many people use NO-CD's/Mini-Images because they want to preserve their CD's and not wear them out from constant use in a CD-drive. I can't speak for everyone, but I like using NO-CD's because of the convenience of not having to keep the CD in the drive, and swapping them out when I want to play a different game.

Using a mini-image replaces the incovenience of CD-swapping with the incovenience of having a whole new piece of software, using it to mount an image, and then possibly having to hide the whole setup because of games that detect it. For me it's just too much trouble, and games for games like BF2 I just settle for keeping the DVD in the drive.

Hi, what does it mean by this:

Quote:

" ... and make sure to use non-default driver names to avoid blacklisting or use Anti-Blaxx v1.16 to avoid the blacklisting problem!"

I have got Alcohol 120% 1.9.2.1705 - should i just upgrade to the latest version and the mini-image will work?

Also, i wanted to ask ... i am about to buy just the CD-KEY off ebay (i dont know if people have seen this), and hence need a copy of the game for myself to install. Is it possible that i can burn a copy off my friends retail DVD (just for the installation, and for future installations), and then ofcourse use the mini-image to play the game (which leads me to my first question above .. what is all that blacklisting stuff and Anti-Blaxx)?

So basically:
1. Will i be able to copy my friends DVD - without any compliactions?
2. Will the mini-image work on my Alcohol 120% version above?
3. What is all that blacklisting stuff - can someone explain in lamen terms?

Thanks .. much appreciated for any responses.

Stawned mate, discussions on buying cd keys and copying your mate's game could get you banned on here. I'm not a mod or anything, just friendly advice. :)
You are supposed to own a copy of any game you enquire about on here.
As for buying a cd key, I think that speaks for itself. Very dodgy ground.

GLH	09-08-2005 01:15

I also seen this CD-Key offers on eBay. It only cost 25€, instead of 44€ for the DVD.
I don't know if this is legally...it looks so.

stawned

09-08-2005 02:00

Sorry, didnt know i was actually doing anything illegal.
As far as i know, the CD Keys are legal, because, the person i am buying it off also offers a photo of the cds and the cd key, and he's already sold about 100+, has a 1000+ points and 99.9% feedback - and anyways if there was any illegal activity/piracy, im pretty sure it would have been reported to ebay and taken off. [Also, i am NOT asking WHERE to buy it from - so i am not discussing cd keys here on the forum, it was just a mere fact]

Besides that, if i am still wrong or not abiding by these forum rules, by all means, MODS please warn me - thanks.

As for copying my mate's DVD, if it is illegal (don't think so, but anyways), can i rephrase the question?
Say i buy the BF2 DVD, is it possible to back it up, so that incase my original messes up and in the future i need to reinstall the game, would the backed up version able me to install the game? (BTW, is there any complications in backing up this DVD, or i can just use NERO?) - remember, just for installation, not for playing (which will require mini-image)!

Also could i get some discussion on these questions below:

2. Will the mini-image work on my Alcohol 120% version above?
3. What is all that blacklisting stuff - can someone explain in lamen terms?

Thanks a lot.
Sorry i am new at this forum so do point out if i am carrying on any illegal discussions.

Cheers.

Pretty sure that these keys are legal; several people I know have had copies of HL2 off there, & I know Steam is pretty good on piracy.

On the subject of swapping mini-images, have a look at DaemonScript from the Daemon tools homepage- it will allow you to create a customised shortcut for each game that uses a mini-image so that you never need to swap mini images :D

Basically what they have to do is this, you buy, they pay $10 to kill their account so you can use the cd-key again.

hi,

i yust updated my original BF2 Version to 1.02.
(by the way, i do have an original cdkey)

I tested all 3 mini images with alcohol as well as with daemon tools (they are all on the newest version).

but as soon as i want to start the game i get a black screen and then.. like after 3 seconds it pops back to my windows desktop....

why ;)

GLH	16-08-2005 08:53

Is your Windows and all of your drivers UP-2-DATE ???
Do you have installed WinXP ServicePack2 ???

It's works for me without turning on the Safedisc-Emulation. I just mount the mini-image by BLeH! and start the game.

I have the same problem. The black screen blinks a couple of times then boots me back to the desktop. Used all three mini-images and everything.

noscript

22-08-2005 01:19

then it should also not work with your original DVD.

I'd imagine you are using a refresh rate over rider. I've had the same problem before.

Goto "Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Settings" and open "VideoDefault.con" in notepad.

At the bottom is the line "renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0". Change this to "renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1"

That should work. If it doesn't try disabling your refresh rate over rider program.

I have the retail version and updated to v.1.02

I get easily aggravated in having to load up the cd each time so I downloaded the DVD image on here.

Loaded it on Dameon Tools just fine...and it plays fine.

Only problem for me is that during gameplay...the fact i'm playing from a cracked image...it lags up the game for me. I'm not sure why

I'm running AMD Athlon XP 3200+
1 GB DDR RAM
nVidia GeForce FX 6800

any ideas on whats up?

Hmmm I would remove the link you posted, since in that thread there is talk about cracking gamejack. Which is not allowed here.

Using a MiniImage don't make the game cracked !!! You always use the uncracked original exe.
Also with the original dvd, the game only check for it at start of the game.
After that there is no need to have the dvd inserted.
So (i think) the MiniImage can't be the reason for your lag-problem.

Hi there, I'm not really a person who plays alot of game although my friends got me into start playing BattleField 2.

I bought the game from some internetshop and it arrived a couple of days ago, but when I tried to install it it didn't work, and the reason for that was that I don't own a DVD-player. Since this has happened before with other things I knew exactley what to do, I put the DVD in my laptop and shared it over the local area network. Worked fine to install. Although I can't play the game since I need to have the CD in my own computer.

There isn't a NO-CD crack out for this version as far as I know and I really wanna play the game that I have bought. Is there any way of doing this without having to buy a DVD-player? You're talking about some mini-images, what is that? Would that solve my problems?

Talus

27-08-2005 07:59

Mounting a mini-image would solve your problem, yes.

Hope there will be a propper no-dvd crack for the 1.03 patch since these mini images dont seem to be working as they should.

The mini images work like a charm. Often its just a problem with the users hard/software.

They often use outdated versions of Daemon Tools/Alcohol which are detected and blacklisted or the already mentioned 'black screen' error sounds more like a technical driver/setup problem.

Yes, I will agree with that! I have the 1.02 update installed and can still use my mini image mounted in Alcohol 120. ;)

If you have problems with the IMAGES, use the GameStarter-function of "GameJack 5"! That works fine with that game (V. 1.0 & 1.02)! Then you can play with the ORIGINAL EXE without DVD in the drive!

Because your using a warez version you wont get support here, and you will probably get banned.

If you still have your case etc and cd-key for your "missing" disc, contact EA games for a replacement disc/s

Kripple_warrior

05-09-2005 05:58

i do have a LEGAL key
just explain me how to use and install the mini image that,s the only thing i,m fully legal only i use cracks cuz i can,t find my original cd that,s it

DABhand

05-09-2005 06:11

But you dont have a legal disc, you said it yourself. Read the rules, i think its #2.

Get in contact with EA games they will be happy to replace a disc for you, probably at a small shipping cost.

Download Daemon Tools and install.
Download the Mini-image from gamecopyworld and extract somewhere on your HDD.
Run Daemon Tools and mount the mini image.
Run BF2.
