The dll never changed... Only main game exe where functions called from the dll are evaluated.

I seen in another post, someone did for 2.601 but yet still requires an image or media in the drive, so what was patched? The game's server calling?
both server connection (which as you said is not needed but done in all other cracks) AND the cd check.

2. You have dug yourself into a hole, you basically declared you dont have an original game. How? Re-read what you said. Its simple as said before, if you dont want to use the media in the drive then you authenticate online. A couple of seconds worth of time to do that.

The only reason you want to circumvent that, and you said that yourself in an earlier post, is because you dont have an original version of the game.

proof -
reading my posts several times does not imply in any way that I dont have an original.

3. I was commenting on the fact a .nfo said he used a hex editor to which I said he was probably talking bollocks and used a previous crack, especially from the poor language used in the .nfo too is another reason why I think the guy was talking bollocks.

Again a crack isnt really needed for this game. So this thread should be closed.
And again, he does not "talk bollocks". Get the game and try yourself. A fix may be useful on pcs without internet connection or for using it at lan parties.
