Silent Hunter III

[oncm]

Hi all.Now after receiving a valid cd key i tried the mini image of Gcw.
It doesnt works. After typing the cd key, which it was accepted, it told me it has a problem to verify the Disk. The same i tried with panzers. With panzers it works!!!
I used just to know Sh3 v.1.0.
Also blocking. Port Royale, Panzer 1.6, both works, just Sh3 doesnt.
Someone who really come to the end and played the game?

greetings

hey guys

just wanted to say that there is a little backdoor someone discovered. It has something to do with a registry-file and it somewhat fools around with starf...

anyway, I now am past the CD-Key-verification my question is whether there is a chance I can get SH3 to accept the mini-image as the real DVD. BDW: how is SFNightmare and its sister supposed to work?
what good does it do, to disable the real CD-ROM-drives?

Can I somehow create a valid image of my original DVD?

[KrezzyKid]

back once again

i meanwhile got SFN working and voila, he stopped telling me to insert the disc to another drive
now he gives me a read-error...

but hey, when I right-click on my virtual CD-ROM-drive and ask for properties he tells me that the mounted mini image has a real size of 60kb or so...

c'est tres bizarre...

Oh, I almost forgot: I don't own a USB-HD, but if I did, how should I use it?

Just to support your theory, Gangland is also working (Update v1.4)

There is something more into SH3 then what meets the eyes...

[KrezzyKid]

at least not w/o facts to support your theory

I'll try to record an image off of my original DVD (should work with a rented DVD as well) and after that I shall report back

as far as I have heard it is supposed to work somehow like that (and I tend to believe things which aren't proven wrong - yet)

hey guys i am very sorry to interrupt u with all your talk but i feel (and i am ) a total noob with all the how u call it mini-image stuff and all the alcohol burining at the lowest speed and with stuff activated and all....well i am really lost...all i know is using daemon tools and alcohol and u know...mounting images..thats it....so u know i really like SH3 i think that game is awesome and i really want to play it without the cd method...i got the cd key, like u said u can only help if i got the cd key.... so please PM me and teach me how to use all that stuff and all....like u know a dude posted here about a working method...well i would like to understand what he wrote.... so pm me if u want or can

thank u

Guys don't shoot if i say any crap, but first listen.
What if someone could modify registry.dat so that when the game asks for a cd key and we write the code they guy before said it won't mention any "authority" problems e.t.c. Or what about someone could upload an original dvd mini-image???
Sorry for any english mistakes...

[ripper_george]

authorization problems i mean or sth like this. I don;t remember exactly what it says...

[FarCry]

has anyone tried the 1.2 crack which i found on crackmanworld?
