I
bought the game today and I am
not a pirate. I simply hate all CD/DVD checks for games, especially this one considering you have to perform an Internet activation when you first launch the game anyway! Ridiculous to have a DVD check every time...
For anybody who is still interested in avoiding having to put their DVD in every time, here's the work-around:
1. Install the game
2. Update to v1.2
3. Launch once to activate using your legit DVD Key/Serial. Then quit the game.
4. Now, find the original Razor1911 Crack which is literally only 30KB or so and replace the game executable.
5. Play the game!
Ignore what everyone else has been saying about Multiplayer not working with the crack. It works fine for me and you don't need a new crack for the patched v1.2 of the game.
Enjoy Far Cry 2 without the annoying DVD check!
P.S. I can't directly link to the crack here, but you can visit this site to get it:
