Yes, I was/am talking about the IS-MPak, seems we're on the same wavelenght now.

We're now both basically saying pretty much the same thing. Some people were/are talking about the IS-MPak and refering to the DEViANCE no-cd cracks for it, I was trying to warn people that these cracks would not work with the IS-MPak, at least, not with the U.S. retail version of it.

I haven't had time to test the cracks with the stand alone patches yet, so I do not currently know if the cracks do work with them or not. I will try to test that later this week if possible.

IF, the cracks do work with the PR3.0/PR1.0 stand alone patches and not with the PR3.0/PR1.0 from the IS-MPak, that would be very weird though.

For all intended purposes, if the cracks work for one, it should work for the other. The IS-MPak CD is not used after you install the contents, after install you need to use the MW4 or BK CD just like before. All the IS-MPak does is add 4 Mechs, 1 Weapon, 1 Electronic Componant and 2 MP maps.

The PR3.0 for MW4 and PR1.0 for BK are included in the IS-MPak and are identical (as per MD5 comparison) to the PR3.0 and PR1.0 stand alone patches available for download from Micro$oft. As a matter of fact, if you notice, the cracks indicate the same version as the already updated original EXE's, that is, same version after applying the PR3.0 and PR1.0 updates from the IS-MPak, meaning, the cracks were made for the same EXE versions.

I know you said you don't have the game, so you don't have a reason to have the IS-MPak and it can be difficult therefore to follow when you don't have the CDs to look at the contents to compare, test, etc. So, that's cool.

You made a reasonable suggestion, regarding emailing DEViANCE. However, I believe, there is no need for that at the moment and I'll leave any emailing up to someone who really wants/needs the no-cd cracks. As I said, I personally do not require them and my original objective has already been accomplished, thanks for the suggestion though.

To those who do email DEViANCE on this, here's a quote from the DEViANCE .nfo file:

"DEViANCE DOES NOT DO TECHNICAL SUPPORT, NEVER EVER!"

So, don't hold your breath expecting a reply, if they do reply fine, if not, move on.

I am OUTTA here! ...
