FEAR 1.06 No CD
 

I'm using an image file with Daemon Tools to run FEAR. Is there a way that I can get the 1.06 update?

Thanks

Get the update what? Get it work? I'm using the no-CD patch for version 1.04; no problems so far although, I admit, I haven't had time to play too much with it...

I'm asking if there is a way to use the 1.06 update since there is no 1.06 No CD file available.

As I wrote, I'm using the 1.04 no-CD patch... yes, with the 1.06 update. If you're interested in something else, please, elaborate on your word "use"; what exactly do you want: download the update, install the update, crack the update?

You just said that you were using the 1.04 crack, I assumed that you were using the 1.04 update as well. Haven't there been changes to the executable between 1.04 and 1.06?

I think there haven't been significant changes, although the EXE files of 1.04 and 1.06 are not identical. Search around on this forum for similar topics. (I can't install updates because they - very improperly - assume "Program Files" to be present on drive C:, which is a very small drive on my PC. I have to take updates apart and copy the files manually; this seems to work, though...)

i think that the updated files are the .arch00 files!

but the info wich version it is, is stored in the default.archcfg, and all fear.exe files access this file to run fear!!! thats way you could play fear with the 1.05 patch installed and with an old default.archcfg from 1.04 or earlier!! (with the original 1.05 exe of course!!)

Ok I have owned and completed FEAR as new long ago, but fancied playing some parts again on my new GPU but I cant get it to install, now I googled it and read as much as I could find inc the games own forums , but never got fixed, I get same msg as the peeps in these forums but messing about with diff builds of DX etc dont do anything, my PC has been formated a few times since FEAR was new so not sure.
Anyone else got same issue's.

[...]

So nobody else has experienced the issues installing FEAR, where you end up having to browse to the .exe on the cd and it then says its "not a win32 application", after googling like mad there is lot of peeps with same problem and some fixed by turning off services etc etc, well I have tried all that is on google and more and still no go.
I aint even sure if any of my installed apps are different than when FEAR was new and I installed no problems, only some hardware changes since then.

i presume you didnt read the rules, so please read them , especially the one about bumping!!!

Thanks to Mod. :)

BTW If only the 1 of 3 peeps I dont like here were as good at helping with questions than they are are jumping in with a with crys "rules" and "warez" comments, we would all have no problems to solve.

I assume they dont have a clue how to fix this issue, nor do I but I bet a format will fix it, but games not worth that esp as completed as new.

well theres always the universal 100% fix...

put the original in the drive, and play...

It is the original cant you read, I forgot you like to shitstir dont you ?.

I had installed and played as new, and this is talked obout on games own forums as well as few finds on google, so you obv aint even bother to look, only content on talking a lot of crap.

See if you cant add anything constructive, please butt out.

calm down !!!

does it work online? 1.04 crack with 1.06 patch?

not shit stirring, it was more a suggestion...

like.. if there is no solution to using an image or no crack exists, then you could just use the original until a crack or some working solution exists...

Yep, it does!!!

Good news everyone, F.E.A.R.v1.0.6.UPDATE-DETONATiON.

A new group, detonation, has cracked the latest update.

Will upload to GCW as soon as I have gotten my hands on it. :)

Tippex, You really are a idiot, I knew for a fact you would have to say something after the Mod spoke.

Where on this page have even said I am using a image or crack, you obv cant read or go and look for results in google like I did, I am trying to install my original dvd of FEAR, I had installed it when new and completed, a few formats ago.

Once I get game installed I will replace the original disc in rom tray with a crack same as I did before.

There is nothing wrong with the disc and others have same issue, now please dont even bother to reply to anything I ask again as your input is off topic and helps nobody (even though I hardly ask for help)

@jhuk: Please, put Tippex onto your ignore list and stay away from such fights. You have been warned!

[Edit] @Tippex: Sorry about previously giving you a warning without any real reason... :( Gotta read posts much more carefully next time!

just use the maxi-image from gcw - works fine for vers 1.06 - and yes - it works online. with the cracked exe u can also play online.

and in a few days u can get FEAR multiplayer 4 free on http://www.joinfear.com/us/

wow, pretty interesting there, play multi for free, good idea, hopefully more games will follow the trend (guess it depends on how successful the game is.. ie: if it makes the right amount of money)

Perhaps, this is another proof that it is not the good (or bad or not existing) copy protection that sells a game well but the entertainment value of the game itself?!

The game's single player is the only thing worth buying. I don't like the multiplayer very much, so they might as well give it out for free.

where is the crack, i wait on that crack :-O
greetings from holland, amsterdam!

why the hell is everybody concentrating on the 1.06 patch when teh 1.07 patch is out?

Perhaps, one of the reasons is forum rule #6?!

hmm, it's a cracked ActiveMark, this can occur errors on standard version...

but who cares now, FEAR Combat is live! :D ;)

@maciozo: Did you see the newly updated v1.07 patch for F.E.A.R? I just checked it out and it contains an Activemark EXE as expected, however, after dumping and fixing it I can get this one running on my UK game after updating to v1.07 whereas all the other Activemark cracks (1.03, 1.04, 1.06) never worked :)

Been playing this all day today and not had a problem, except one hard lockup just before loading Interval 03 Exeunt Omnes. But I did have 10 folders open and a browser in the background as well as messing about with the detail levels during the game and having it loaded for more than 2 hours :) Loading the game back up and going to the same place was fine, no lockup, and it loaded the next level. Also used the 'maphole' cheat to load each level and they all loaded without a problem.

If anyone wants to test this 'v1.07 crack' try it here:

Password is: GCW

However, it was dumped and fixed under XP with SP2 installed so it may not work on SP1, not sure how to fix imports so they work on all OS'es :(

Use Imprec. Google it :)

errr.. that's how I fixed the dump, except imprec doesn't 'teach' you how to make multiple OS compatible dumps :)

which is why you should stop being a tool monkey and code your own dumper :p

Well, you should at least check 'Renormalize imports' to ensure support on Win98, dunno about the other stuff.
If FirstThunk is right, everything should work fine. To be a bit more sure check 'Rebuild Original FT', so OFTs are availible as well.

I'd never try bound imports which causes more problems than the 'normal' ones...

A new section including a new built IAT is also not a bad idea, if you ask me, I always use it when fixing ASPro or Arma.
When I fix Import Elimination thingie with the "unreadable IAT" with my script, I need that option anyway... :(

@TippeX: I like being a Tool! Not sure about the monkey bit though :) Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you use someone elses tool or one you coded yourself, it's still being a tool monkey :p

I'm not a coder anyway so, it's really difficult to get to grips with this, not seen many tutes and those I have are too technical and assume lots of prior knowledge. I know just how difficult learning this stuff is, and some of it is really scary.

@Muji-FightR: Tried those settings on a Win98/XP target but still no go under Win98, XP still works though. You know somethings wrong because of RestoreLastError popping up but fixing that didn't help, so me knowing something substantial about Kernel API's, PE files and IAT would help :rolleyes:

Well, this isn't a coding topic, so let's just see if anyone else can get that EXE to work on their XP systems!

IAT/Import Table isn't hard whatsoever, kind of weird, but if you take yourself about half an hour of reading, most of it should be clear...
This knowledge isn't always needed, but it can make things way easier...
I already wrote a tutorial about the import section which took me 3 hours to write... well, it's pretty hard to describe all that :D

And you cannot just "learn" Kernel APIs, it's more of getting info on the way, by reading tuts along with some small hint about this API etc., except you're coding...
I always came along w/o coding knowledge, tried my skills at C++. but I'm not good at PHP either, so wtf should I be good at in C++ lol
So far Ollyscript always did the job for me ;)

BarryB: The crack is not working for me. I only get a critical error. I run WinXP SP2 with all upgrades.

I like injecting ASM code more, cus you can actually debug it and see what is wrong with it... easier to work with IMO.

Do you have KB917422 installed? If so try uninstalling it from Add/Remove and see if it works then. This update is known to stop some games working!

@Muji-FightR: I have read some info on Import Table, parts make sense but some don't. I also noticed one thing that may be wrong with my dump, image base of the new IAT. Most programs I've looked at have the IAT under 0x00100000 and mine ends up at 0x00490000 (maybe screwing the Win9x compatibility in other dumps?).

Hey Barry, i dont have FEAR, but a friend of mine tried your NOCD and said no go :(

Actually, I do not have that update installed. KB917422 I mean. I heard before that I should not install it.
