Desperados 2 v1.01 crack needed for testing...

[maciozo]

EDIT: OK, the crack has been proven to work in Windows 2003, XP Home, XP Pro boxes. Still, it is crucial to use the compability mode. To ensure that everything works OK, I've patched some other checks. If I'll find what's causing the problem with running the EXE without the compat mode, expect a repack.
Till now use this release & make sure you read the NFO!

Enjoy

Thanks everyone for testing!

High maciozo the crack doesn´t work with v. 1.0. Don´t know why. I use win xp service pack 2. You can get the patch to v.1.01 only if you registrate. That makes it not very easy for me to help you and I won´t registrate just for fun. Sorry!

please apply this patch first:

Applied the patch and the maciozo .exe but won´t work. The old .exe from gcw works fine, even with the patch v.1.01. Sorry maciozo!

I have the CD version of Desperados 2 Cooper's Revenge. A-Ray scans
and the result was SecuROM 7.00.00.0043 (Protection ID's result was
SecuROM v7.20.0010)
I Updated to v1.01 (International Update) and I have problems running
with my Original Boxed version. Sometimes the game runs fine, but some
of my errors exit from the loading back to the Desktop (WinXP ENG SP2).
I tested A-ray again and NO PROTECTION was found! Protection ID v5.1E
(by CDKiller) 's result there: Tages SDK v5.4.00-v5.5.01.
I don't know this result was BAD/WRONG or the A-Ray scanner.
Becouse the game sometimes runs perfect! I have a registered NOD32 Pro
and I have NO virus/trojan etc. on my PC.
So, I guess this something wrong with the Update/Protection! How was
runs the game with Original SecuROM 7 and Tages 5.x Update????
What version(s) need the v1.01INT Update running perfectly????
Strange things happened...

[cdkiller]

sylvio, so you are using Desperados with the SecuROM protection (7.20 is right too).
of course you can´t update it with the v1.01 International patch.
you need to find the patch for your version (SecuROM) instead of the Tages version.

edit: found a patch for ya, grab this http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/dlp.cgi?lang=...1fr.zip&ref=ps
should be the patch 1.01 with SecuROM.

all desperados 2 updates seemed to be completely fucked up. in one of them you have 3 exes - a securom, tages and an activemark. i fixed the activemark version. it works for me fine, but i don't know if it's good on a win2k machine. of course i've made some progress from the last release but it's still not perfect. it runs good in win98 compat though.
still, if you want to test the fix PM or mail me.
