I won't be able disconnect the internet connection at the LAN place I go to. Krond's 1.1 patch worked just fine and I have used it without any problem.
I've explained my situation to Krondlike before. I own this game, in fact I own two copies of it, one for each of my home computers. Ironically I never played them because I have very little time because of work, but that's another story. But what I do play is multiplayer at a LAN place. I never played the full version of Raven Shield on the internet, just the demo. There is an internet cafe nearby where a group of us, usually just 5, go and play. The cafe does not have RvS installed on their computers. They only have Counter-Strike, WarCraft III and StarCraft on their computers, therefore each time we go, I have to spend nearly 30 minutes of our bought time just installing the game. I do not use my retail CD's, I use two copies I made. With version 1.1 it was simple; I would install the game, run the 1.1 patch, install Krondlike's crack, then run the No-CD crack. The game would work without a problem, and I would continue to use it if it were not for the fact that everytime new maps, or updated versions of maps, are released, they don't work on older versions of RvS.
If you're wondering, yes, of the 5 of us, 2 are in fact playing illegally because they do not own the game. And even after trying to convince them, they can't justify paying $50 for a game they play maybe once a month at an internet cafe. But even so, if only the 3 of us that actually own the game played, we still do not want to use our CD-Keys when installing it at the internet cafe.
I don't know why the crack isn't working, but hopefully you or Krond can make a working version. If not, then I guess we'll just stick to playing version 1.1, or 1.2 if Krond's 1.2 crack works (I never got around to testing it). But I hope one, or the two of you will release a working LAN crack.
