Rome Total War 1.2 nocd?
 

Been ages since the patch was released, any news of a crack?

I dont' have a no-cd but I am using the v1.2 mini-image. Try using that one.

mini image works, but some cheats require the no-cd

can anyone update this crack? who made the first one?

I can't believe that. Please explain your statement!

Some cheats modify EXE (or something like that, I'm no expert), and EXE is encrypted without no-cd crack.

@GLH
I am guessing they are talking about the 'Trainers'?

He may mean some trainers/cheats patch the EXE while in RAM, if the game is still protected then some parts of the EXE may stil be encrypted/packed and can't be patched.

I know, its pretty uncommon. The problem is that Rome has a lame one-use limit on the cheats. So lets say I wanted to finish my buildings in two cities. Id have to do one, then _restart the whole game, not just to the menu_ then reload the game, then do the other city. It's highly annoying!

Someone on www.twcenter.net made a program that edited the .EXE to allow you to use the cheats as much as you want in the same game.

Unfortunately, it required the un-encrypted no-cd .exe. Now, with the new patch, people use the mini image. But we're forced to use the un-encrypted .EXE, which they cant modify to allow cheats.

SO! With all this explintion, GLH, could you help out the Rome community and put the word around to whoever does these kind of things??

Much appriciated.

Well, try not cheating... :D
The game is really not that hard.

anyone have any ideas on how to request this?

where do u find this v1.2 image?
 

I need the v1.2 image for RTW! cant wait to play it

I tried using the only mini image on gamecopyworld, but the game won't autorun after I mount the image file with deamon tools lastest version. Then i tried going to RTW folder and double clicking on the game file but after the presentation part, it returns to desktop! I need help! what the hell is goin on!

lol.
There is no v1.2 image. Only an image of the original you made or download.
Why do you have to wait? Everyone else is able to play without an image.

Well, I can't play the game. Once the game starts, it returns to freaking desktop... idk why... it happened after i dled v1.2 of RTW...... it was fine with the older versions. Any sugestions?

Did you installed patch well?
Does same happen with original CD used too?

Who knows, maybe it's not mini-image realted.
