Okay, look. I may be unique in this aspect, but I wasn't whining or bitching about it not working. Hell, I have the original disk to use. I was trying to let others know, as well as the crackers, that the file wasn't working. Since I obviously am not alone in this, as so far I haven't found anyone using XP2 that can make it work, I would expect it to be something they would be interested in.
I hear Vitality talk shit all the time. Read the NFO files that come with their cracks and software hacks and see. They constantly put down other groups. Hey, I used to work with some of the other groups, so I know what the scene is like. However, in a period of 48 hours I saw them release three cracks that didn't work, but they still wanted to talk shit about others who put out cracks just like them.
I have no issue with that, in fact, I don't care who says what. But if they truly want to talk smack and get respect for what they do, they should be interested in correcting the mistakes they make. If they aren't, fine, but don't go talking your shit about others.
I give them props for correcting the Soulstorm crack, the new one works great...but truthfully, the Reloaded was working fine before they even released the broken one. And I also show my gratitude for their services.
Still, the issue with the SSC crack isn't a rare few, it's everyone I have talked to. Visit the various torrent sites and DL lists that have the Vitality crack for SSC, you'll find tons of comments about it not working.
Something is wrong with it. Letting them know is a good thing, no? Isn't that really what this place is for? Get off your high horse and quit trying to defend a mistake. They made one somewhere, and even if they won't fix it or care to try and fix it...the point is, it should be made known that a mistake was made. Not to insult them, but to warn others who will try to use the file.
Now, as for the crack. It isn't a "Configuration" issue. I have four PC's in my home, and three at my office. All different set-ups, but the one thing they have in common is they are all using XP2. The crack WILL NOT work on ANY of them, and yes I spent the time installing the game and the patch to see, hoping that I could find something in my "game" machine that was off.
Maybe XP isn't the issue, but I have yet to find anyone with XP who can make it work. You really want to call that a "configuration" issue?
In addition, many of the cracking crews these days don't have the games they crack for. They just open the executes and remove the protection code. You can do that without ever opening the game up. Problem is, when something goes wrong...like this case...you don't know it until you release it and hear about it.
I'm not saying that is what Vitality did, but you can't win with an argument that

Crackers obviously don't release cracks that don't work at all.

Truth is, that is EXACTLY what they have done, and more than once this week in fact. However, they did correct the Soulstorm issue as well as another. This one they haven't fixed yet.
Peace.
