You are perhaps a bit too optimistic. See the case of Vampire bloodlines: without the first "unofficial patches" made by leopold and oma, you can't seriously play.
I don't think there is some bad Ubisoft disks, but I'm sure there is a very buggy application used by Ubisoft and the others : the Installer. It took me 3 attempts to install the game -and I'm happy because this time it was not needed to restore my system partition! When the installer mysteriously goes to sleep, and you must reboot, what happens if it was in the middle of a file ?
Even if you are right, I think the pirate does not have intentionnaly made a bad copy of this file. Well, why was this file bad ?
Look at what Ubisoft and the others says to the users which have some problems: uninstall and reinstall the game. They knows that the installer is a lottery - better luck next time, we hope...

MaPomme i agree that replacing the corrupted BIK file with one which is working is the best solution. i didnt say that solution since i didnt locate the exact file. all i did was find the folder with videos and knew the corrupted file was in there.

what i was trying to say and what you still, dont seem to understand is that the game will NOT be without movies. ill explain simply with step by step.

1. change the folder "cine" to "cine1"
2. open the game and no intro movies will be there and game starts
3. save the game on the boat.
4. quit the game
5. change the folders name back to "cine"
6. load the save game
7. play the game WITH movies

what you do is that you hide the file temporarily until the movie isnt needed anymore. now you have a savegame on the other side of the corrupted bik file and you can play the game with movies.

well, with all the new releases on GCW etc. this thread wont be needed anymore so have fun playing and ill talk to you all later when another game has a bug

Ma Pomme

I understand and say one more time that your tip is GOOD. But I say also this tip is MORE USEFUL: I can now play WITH OR WITHOUT movies. I don't like to watch some videos 3 or 4 times, and I've already used your tip to play the game one hour without movies. And I say thank you.

Don't be too modest, you gave more freedom to all gamers.

OK ?

Hi Guy's..

As Far As It Goes I See Every One Has Problems With The Game Crashing On
Movie At The Begining Well.. I Also Have The Game But Dont Crash On Mine..

How Ever I Do Get One Problem, The In Game Sound Effect And Dialog Are All Chipmonks Voices..

Help Please Any One Having The Same Problem...

Is this turning into one of those "my tips is better than your tip" kinda things?
If so, my tip is the bestest, and someone close the thread
If not, ignore this post

no i was just misunderstanding what he was saying. i thought he said that you could "only" play without vids with the method i suggested, but what he was trying to say was that you "can" play without vids. Which is sometimes a good thing so that you wont have to see the movies over and over at bosses etc.
i 100% agree that getting the working file is the best solution which i think i stated in a previous post in here, well dont want to beat a dead horse so lets move on unless another bug is on the menu

did you try updating your soundcard with the newest drivers? usually that can mess up sounds in a game.

umm well i used your way of replacing the cine0100.bik with the empty cine0100.bik. But a new problem occurs in the middle of the game. I read many tutorials and experimented with this problem. and my guess is that one of the CINE is missing thus "Dahaka",Charecter in game, does not blow a hole in the wall so i cant go through the wall and caused me to become stuck in the game.This Occurs before on the last save of "Fates Dark Hand". Could anyone help me with this problem.

Thanks in Advance
