I dont have a cracked 'exe'! I use a mini image! I dont actually agree that mini images should be shared on the internet! For those with their original discs, and a DVD burner, a mini image is an easy thing to create without needing any cracking skills whatsoever. Whereas sharing NoCD.exe in my opinion is acceptable as not everyone has the knowledge to create their own NoCD.exe. If a NoCD crack was easy to create then their would be no reason to share them over the net! Its a fine line! Alcohol has a trial version available so their is no excuse when it comes to creating a mini image! And these days a decent DVD burner is the same price (if not cheaper) than 1 game. So instead of buying that next game, bite the bullet and buy a DVD burner! Then you too will be able to easily create a mini image. I, in no way, will support warez! Saying you dont have a DVD burner, in my honest opinion is a lame excuse for a serious gamer to use!
Also like 'dede' also mentioned, their is no reason whatsoever to install the v1.10 update to finish the game.
