Battle for Middle-Earth 2 version 1.03
 

I can't find a crack for bfme 2 version 1.03. Could everybody help me?

Deviance released a crack.

can you give me the link

Please, be patient; I'm sure it will become available on GCW soon.

Only Reloaded have cracked an update for BFME II, and that was for v1.1! Nobody has cracked any updates past v1.1!

Nope, I am uploading 1.03 deviance right know.

Not everything Deviance crack works!

They tried with Black & White 2 v1.2 which had SDAPI and failed, so not hoping for a 'working' 1.03 crack for BFME II which also has SDAPI's :)

They even had trouble with SD3, their Medal of Honor Pacific Assault 1.2 crack was broken!

Looks like relying on iND or NOGRP to fix their cracks ;)

And I'd be suspicious of all these 'Carbon' cracks too, a reliable source I know has reason to believe these are FAKE :eek:

Hi,
what's wrong with carbon-cracks?
I'm not that into it, but they seem to work?

For me the 1.03 Crack works great.

That maybe the case, but according to my source they appear to be existing cracks with the headers realigned and resources changed to reflect version numbers, making them FAKE!

Check the reloaded v1.0 crack for Commandos Strike Force, and the Carbon 1.2 crack in LordPE. Look at the Section Table and notice how the Voffset and Vsize are IDENTICAL! Also note there are the same number of sections and the last section in the Carbon crack has been renamed to .cre and in the Reloaded crack it's .rld! Now if you dump those two sections to disk and hex compare them they are identical except for an extra 143 bytes of zeros padded onto the .cre section, probably due to realigning of the section.

Also, if you compare the second data section you'll find that 1.00 in the reloaded crack has changed to 1.20 in the Carbon crack!

Now things get a little more interesting if you dump the _rwcseg section and compare them, guess who's name appears in the Carbon crack, yup it's phil8900!!!

Now WHY is YOUR name in a Carbon crack?

The 0'd section will probably be Reloaded's sig been removed from there.

lol :D

Hi,
w00T????

edit: ok, just checked it - i get what you mean.

but you can be sure it wasn't me, why should I do that?!

It does NOT make any sense...

hehehe
to the topic ...
the maxi? mini? hm... images are working for me

the "_rwcseg" section isn´t part of the securom protection. so...

dunno... they just released Blitzkrieg 2 Update v1.5, GRAW v1.06, RollerCoaster Soaked Update... they seems to be fine, both, the sf3 and sec7 cracks.

DABHand, do you also think I'm a graduate of Unseen University ? :D Nicknames don't necessarily mean anything here...

Hi,
hopefully not fucked...

Offtopic:
If i named myself bill gates on a forum - would you believe it then?!

Na, how about Britney Spears? :D

Seeing as Reloaded has released a *PROPER* for the Deviance release of The Da Vinci Code, what's the betting their BFME II 1.03 crack also needs *PROPERING* :)

For me this crack does not work at all!

It was patched ok but then I get this error message:

I have tried to redownload both the patch and the NO-DVD and still I get this issue. I used the original game.dat file when the patching started.

Anyone else having this issue?

offtopic once more.. i don't think there are many people out there who call themselfs "phil8900" and i don't think it is a coincidence that your name appears in the cracked files and you are the only one who uploads cracks made by carbon to GCW.. everything points to you :cool:

-andy-

i just tried the two tutorial missions with the crack and they worked fine.
does everything work without the crack, with your original game.dat file?

-andy-

have you updated game to 1.03 ?

Yeah, I have updated to v 1.03 and everything works without the crack and the DVD :(

Oh well!

I tried downloading different patches from different sources but ended up re-installing the whole game from my original disc. Now the NO-DVD works 100% fine, dunno what happened before though. :)

I had the exact same crash error message until I found out it was caused by installing the No Intro Fix (ini.big) as it apparently only works on version 1.0 of the game. I guess we will have to wait for a 1.03 no intro fix.

Riggs58:

I tried copying the original ini.big file back after appyling patch 1.03 but that didn't help either. Maybe I had saved the wrong ini.big file? Oh well, it works now.

To those of you with problems:

1. Try to download the patch from somewehre else
2. Check if you have made any changes to big.ini (i.e nointro fix)

You have totally lost me there mate, perhaps you meant to reply to someone else? :P

On topic, It seems the DEViANCE crack is a good one at last! Although it has SDAPI, it doesn't appear to have 'hidden checks' so is easier to crack.

Amazing what little dickie birds tell you :)

I don't know where you see SDAPI in this exe...

Doh ! You're right it was meant for Barry B. Damn there goes another good joke. Tragically cut down in the prime of its life and sent to jokes heaven by bad delivery...

@caki: I'm reliably informed it does have SDAPI!

@RincewindTheWiz: Lol, suffering from premature ejokeulation, snigger!!!

Another funny joke that goes the wrong way. Some guys from staff said to me a time ago, that RincewindTheWiz is a girl.... :D

Ah! I can see your misundestanding of the context of that line. It's 'Gender Neutral' as it refers not to the male reproductive organ suffering a misfire of the ejaculatory function, rather a mistimed verbal ejaculation delivered by persons of either gender and by using a play on the word 'joke' it punctuates the delivery of the witicism.

But I could well be talking bollocks!

I agree with caki, that I not see SDAPI in exe.

EDIT nvm an extremely simple form exist :)

I have no reason to believe my source is wrong. Let's leave it be until I have further info then!

Nonono your source is correct. SDAPI in exe, but form is simple. Easy to break :)

Ok kruska :)

Maybe it should be referred to as 'SDAPI Easy' :D

Me think they did not crack this SDAPI, just copy decrypted tables from RLD cracks :)
