Stronghold 2 v1.3.1
 

Has anyone have this version crack?

Please read the rules, you have to wait 2 weeks before requesting

Ok I'l wait sorry for that.

That doesn't mean a crack will appear in 2 weeks though!

The patch is Securom protected so it might not get cracked at all like a lot of other Securom games/patches: Act of War patch 1.06, Driv3r patch #2, Boiling Point patch 2.0, GTA: San Andreas Patch 1.1, Global Storm, Motgp3 and Total Overdose.

All have not been cracked, and we can probably add Stronghold 1.31 to that list!

Does that Fixed Image Works witch this patch?

Stronghold 2 v1.3.1
 

Any news on the crack for this version ?!

Can some tell me does that Fixed Image works with this version?

Scratch MotoGP3 from my list, Reloaded seem to have just cracked that one today :)

What?

The list I referred too about Securom games that had not been cracked, except MotoGP3 has now been cracked, except the crack appears to be not working 100% :rolleyes:

And where that list?

@THUG-LIFE
Well if you had read the whole thread you would have seen it!
Try Post #4 of this thread!

The new CD-Image for 1.3.1 works good and its easy to make.

How did you get it to work? Doesn't work on mine. Stronghold 2 says

"Emulator detected"

I've installed the game and the emulatorer CD works for v1.2 but it doesn't work for 1.3

@joeypesci
Read thru the FAQ. There is a section in there dealing with Emulator problems.
Read section 'V' "Creating/using backups and mini/maxi images"
Your problem is more than likely caused through having CloneCD installed.

Can't be that 'cause I don't have CloneCD installed.

I've burn the emulator to disk like it said, I've set the settings in Alcohol after, like it said. But it still detects emulator software. Am I suppose to be running the game using a mounted image file of the original CD 1?

I ran the game when Alcohol open, it didn't work. I rebooted and ran it before running Alcohol, it didn't work. I tried running Anit-Blax but it didn't work.

I'll go read the FAQ now but currently I'm at a lose. The emulator worked for v1.2 of the game but not 1.3 I take 1.3 has better protection then.

I too can not get this to work, i burned the image, loaded it up, i succesfully updated my game to 1.3, but now when i try to play the game it dont work, i dont even get the 1st option screen that lets you change the graphic options. i have tried alcohol and demon - all with out luck

i have the same problem with my girlfrinds pc. everytime detected emulation.on my own pc it works fine. i am surprised because there are exactly the same setings and the the same cd-drive.:confused:

ive never had probs with 1.2 or earlier, or any crack for other games but this is hard, when i try to run stronghold, it appears in task manager, but it wont run at all on my screen.

I just burned the small image from GCW on a crappy CD-RW using the normal cd option in alchhol then enabled RMPS in my daemon tools, and it booted up no problem.

Did you burn it at 1 speed or max speed? I burnet mine at max speed. I also am on XP Pro SP1. SP2 is still a bit buggy in my eyes, screws up my net connection and the hand holding IE gives in SP2 just gets right on my tits, so I've stuck with SP1 as it does me just fine.

No DVD crack / image
 

Hello,

Last week I bought Stronghold 2 v1.3.1 deluxe, on DVD. Now I am looking for a No DVD crack or Image. The image for v1.3.1 from GCW did not work with my version.
So is there a specific no DVD iamage or crack, or do I anything wrong?

Did you A) mount the image or B) burned it with Alcohol 120% and then used it in your CD/DVD-ROM drive with RPMS emulation enabled in Alcohol 120%? Solution A) will not work, while solution B) may work.

Stronghold 2 v1.3.1
 

I have read all your problems you have with Stronghold 2.. i have try'ed everything. i got it to work with SD4Hide the 1.1v and SR7.stop
and when i quit the game and try'ed to start it up agein no nothing just:
"A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed" or "Emulation detected"
I have tryed to burn disc 2 in Alcohole 120%. and no nothing, but then i used SR7.stop and Hided and then i used SD4hide at the same time i got it to work but just once. And i hope a crack can be relesed because its a killer game:D

Your error messages are mentioned explicitly in the FAQ; read it.

O'yeah
 

Joe Forester. Can u show me? i did not see it. Its not one word that say executed in this thread so .. . . but can u answer me?? this is a help forum right? A required security module can not be activated. Why do i get this massage when i use my original cd?

This complete sentence "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed" is mentioned letter by letter in the FAQ. Search for it and you'll find it! (Are you reading the PC Forum FAQ or something else?!)

I Tried both a) and b) but nothing worked. I've much different kind of errors like emulator detected using option a) (also with alcohol and savehider. And When I Burn the disc with Alcohol I've got an error because it's not the original disc.

What's the problem? Is it the problem that the DELUXE version is on DVD and the image is an cd image? or is it something else?

Greetings Koenll
(waiting and hoping that a exe crack comes out voor 1.3.1...)

Oh, by the way, for RPMS emulation to work with Alcohol 120% and the backup copy CD, inserted into a physical CD-DVD/ROM drive, you need to also burn the RPMS emulation information onto the backup CD! See "Burn 'RPMS' to recordable media" on the Alcohol 120% Image Burning Wizard "Prepare your CD/DVD Recorder" screen.

1 slight problem...

http://show.imagehosting.us/show/109...-1_1096482.JPG

It reckons there is no RMPS information in the source, and it wont let me check the box (Burn RMPS to recordable media). I have RMPS enabled in Alchohol 120% settings.

Guess what, you need to READ the RPMS information from the original...

Grab the Image and Follow the Instructions.. Shoot me any questions: This worked for me by trial and Error Perfectly Twice.

1. Install Alcohol 120%- Restart Your Computer.
2. Disable All virtual drives in Alcohol 120%
3. Under Options Enable Sub-Channel burning for SecuRom Games.
(Middle of 3 Options)
4. Burn the Image(“Needs Emulation) as a “NormalCD” at 40x or lower.
5. Once Image is written Uninstall Alcohol 120% - Restart Your Computer
6. In Daemon Tools v4.03 (or Higher) Enable only RMPS emulation.
7. Insert the Newly Burnt Cracked Image in a PHYSICAL CD-ROM Drive!
8. Play the Game & Get Owned by Sir Dieselbrad! :cool:

Could you, please, try without step 6 (enabling RMPS emulation in Daemon Tools) and report back if it still works? Thanks!

Without RMPS Emualtion- StrongHold 2
 

Without RMPS Emualtion The EXE tries to authenticate the CD-ROM until it times out. (about 90 Sec)
I was unable to get it running properly with Alcohol 120% without Extra Tools and Since DaemonTools is Free I would recommend keeping it in the System tray as it is not a bloated software.

SecuRom (SH2.exe)also can not detect the virtual drives in DTv4.03 so no disabling then re-enabling crap as you would with Alcohol 120%.

This is a great Game. FireFly did an excellent job on this one.

Good Luck All. Shoot me any questions.

Have to follow strictly...
 

Hi... I've just downloaded the Image. As per the instruction,
1 - Installed Alcohol 120%
2 - Restart Pc
3 - Used a Blank CDR (Haven't tried CDRW or DVDRW) to
burn the Image using Alcohol 120% with "Normal CD" settings
4 - Uninstall Alcohol 120% (if not then "emulations detected")
5 - Restart Pc
6 - Start Daemon Tools 4.03, set emulation at RMPS only.
7 - Must insert the Burned CD.
8 - Start the Game....

It worked for me... tried many times... it worked.!!!

Note: You have to burn the cd... u can't put it on virtual drive...

The only thing is that I still need to insert the CDs but now I don't need to use the original disc to play but can only use the backup cds. At least I am confident that my ori disc will be not be damaged.

Cheers :)

@Dieselbrad: Thanks. I just didn't believe Daemon Tools, similarly to Alcohol 120%, could emulate RMPS from a physical media, as well! (Where's the manual anyway? There's none in the distribution package and the Manual menu item of the system tray icon leads to a non-existing URL, too! Or am I really this dumb? :))

yea
 

Works perfect for me with this instructions.:D

can someone change the "play instructions" on the image download page ??
i think this instruction works better for the most gamers as the only with alcohol version.

thx:)

Glad it works!
 

I'm glad that it works for everyone.. At least for now .;) Hope to see some of you in the Arcade to play an online game with me.

second test
 

i test it with this instructions on my girlfriends pc. with the "only alcohol" instruction it didn t work. but with the new demon tools 4.03 it works fine.

i think it must be work for everyone with this method. :D

thx again Dieselbrad:)

Ok im kinda new at this, ok so i got the cd image and i burnt it as an image with alcohol, I hope that is what u mean by "original" cause thats the only way i no how to burn with alcohol. Then i put it in and got demon tools and click the game and it sits for like 90 secnds and then times out and say timed out or dumtin like that, anyone know why it did that
