Advent Rising No-cd
 

Can anybody tell me where I can find a NO-CD for ADVENT RISING please.

It's not out yet, you have to mount the game with daemon tools and use the fixed mds file which I am trying to get it to work still. Here is the fixed mds file if you get it working give me a holla.

It's released on 9th Aug 2005 !!!

was talking about the no cd crack.

Ah, sorry!

No problem brother moderator :D

<3


Me and my brother are hardcore gamers but we're trying to get a back up working so we don't have to swap all the time. Basicaly he wants to beat the game b4 me which isn't happening thats how hardcore gaming we are lol kind've a joke don't take it that literally. Ok maybe we are I need to shave :p

Got Advent Rising running just had to rename & swap

:edit: nevermind

how to use ::

Have the advent rising cd image AND the above file in the same folder
rename so they are both the same ( mine ar AR )

mount the small file found here ,BINGO !

Spot the warez user lol

Both of them ^^

Spot the **** blocker!!!

Ok, I dont normally go on forums but I really need the no cd crack for advent rising so how exactly did you do it and give me step by step instructions plz!!!
Trust me I'm gonna need em. :confused:

Your going to need daemon tools 3.47
1. extract the .iso file
2. open it up the .mds file with daemon tools
3. select all options on under emulation
the game installer should pop up then install the game, exit installer
4. download the .mds fix file and rename it the same as the original then replace it.
5.open up daemon tools again and open advent rising image from the .mds file from there AR should pop up if not go to my computer there is a new virtual drive with Advent Rising icon start the game from there.

what Iso file and what mds file are you talking about?

out of range?
 

Hi folks. I've been lurking over a year and i finaly could not find an answer to my problem anywhere on the forums.
Got Advent to work without my cd by following the above, and deleting anti-blaxx (big conflicts), but I can only play on my smaller of the 2 monitors and\or my TV thru s-vid. My primary monitor goes "out of range"
any clues, and yes I have upgraded the drivers to the latest on this crap crt benq. TIA

Try lowering your refresh rate on your monitor to 60hz, and to make sure the game is not starting up in high resolutions.

Is your Benq monitor SVGA?

hmmmmmmmmmmm
 

Thnx for answering so quick Dab. Tried the 60Hz and it does the same. Even tried lowering my hardware acceleraction. All that does is tell me a critical element is missing.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind playing on the TV, but there goes higher than 800x600 right out the window. SVGA is what it is yes.<<< the pos BenQ I meant. :eek:

That is very weird buddy. But I think you would get a quicker answer at the developers site/forums.

Perhaps another user has an answer to it.

okely dokely good nieghbor
 

Tried the site and I'll be damned if i can find a support link anywhere yet. Even tried the developers site. Honestly , I just think it's just crap hardware. Not a bad thing, heheh, gives me a legit reason for the wife to OK a new tft one. :D

What type of video card do you have? read the release notes it should tell you the compatability of video cards.

Geforce 4 with 64mb will not cut it this game takes alot of framerate so you will need a decent video card to render it. I think the lowest end card under releae notes recomendation is the old geforce 4 TI series and up from there. What I did which helped me to get a bit further but didn't fix the problem was lower the game to 600x400 this may be an option you might not want to sacrifice. I set my desktop to 800x600 and from 32bit to 16 bit. Then once I started the game up I alt tabed went to task manager and under processes I right clicked advent rising and set the process to above normal. This took me farther but then it eventualy couldn't cut it. Keep in mind I'm running a 800 Duron with a geforce 2mx. Hope this helps.

Figured it out
 

It's not the vid card, but it is my primary monitor. Since I upgraded the drivers for it, it will not support lower than 1024X768. So if anyone can tell me how to change the rez in the game i can play it on my main.
Thnx for all the help fellahz.


OK, sent game vid to my secondary screen and set game vid to 1024x768. Then reset my main monitor back to primary status....All Sorted.

What a purty game it is in high rez and all bells and whistles.
Again, thnx for all your help guys. I'll try to hang around a bit more here to repay your help!

Thats what I tell people in high res this game looks nice they all say it has crapy graphics, I think it's because they are Halo fanbois anyways glad you got it working kick ass I gotta wait for my vid card QQ

I had an idea, try changing the driver for the Benq monitor to SuperVGA standard driver and not the Benq one.

Yawnnnnn
 

Just woke up with mighty hangover. lol
Thanx for the advice for the svga standard drivers. Sounds like a good idea because now Madden06 won't play on it at all.

God damnit :\

LOL Good old Benq they either Work or they Dont work, like all their products lol

heheheheh
 

Damn! where's the smilie that pukes gutz?!?!?! Never drink more wine than what fits in a bottle bigger'n yer head.
heheheh being Italian means i can put the stuff away!
I always do that, why old julio gallo makes a gallon bottle is beyond me. You would think at my age i would stop meeting the challenge of drinking it all.
Anyway, I'll search a bit for some drivers when I'm a bit more clear headed.

ok this may not be on the same lines as the whole no cd key thing but i get a message that says "original disc could not be found or authenticated" i have tried the image thing thinking that that may solve the problem and it didnt. now i am very upset and have tried countless times to re-install and run the game from the original disc and the image. now i am just mad. and to make things worse i go to the advent rising website and there is no help thing. if anyone can help me please do or try i am up for anything now.

yea a no cd crack will definately be helpfull... I get the same error. but I cant use daemon tools because I use XP 64 bit. So I guess I am just SOL.

Any group out there care to make a no-CD? :(

Certainly. It's just that they - or other cracker groups, for that matter - don't bother to read this forum. ;)

Good instruction?
 

Well, any no-cd?

I think the instructions are:

1. Make an image of your DVD using Alcohol (latest)
2. Once complete, you'll have two files: .mdf (big) and .mds
3. Discard the .mds file and use the one provided here...
4. Right?

dosen't work
