BF2 and blacklisting help please.

[guitarwolf]

Let me clarify. I have no idea what blacklisting is since I never downloaded any warez copy. I thought if you use the mini image you get blacklisted. The only thing I downloaded was the mini image. If I use it do I have to worry about being blacklisted or is that only if you have a warez copy?

I also wanted to make a backup of my DVD incase it gets scratched up too bad. I think either my dvd-rom is messed up or its a bad disc I really dont know.

Now I understand.

When you said originally you downloaded the DVD image, myself and probably others would have thought you were talking about the warez release.

Then when Xtreme said you may have downloaded the warez one to stop your original from scratching, you said he was correct.

LOL

So we were all confused :P

go ahead download the mini image number 2 and load it up with alcohol 120.
Take out disc and play.
I didn't even need anti blaxx or anything

thats all you gotta do

Cool does it matter if I use daemon tools? Is it still possible to get blacklisted even if your using an official cd key?

[GLH]

Your CD/Serial-Key will not get blacklisted/banned on the gameservers, until it is use by two or more users the same time, or the key is available free in the www.

ok awesome thanks for all the info guys now I can play without the dvd in there Sorry about the confusion.

Could someone please answer his question, because I have the same one. What is blacklisted? I own the original copy of the game, yet prefer not to run it. I use the crack. Before the new update, I had no problem. Everything was working well (I have a legit serial, really is helpful.) Now that I can't use the nocd crack and am forced to use the minidisk, I am also worried about getting "blacklisted".

Blacklisted in terms of gameservers means that a blacklisted cdkey is banned.

Ah okay then, thanks for the help. I shouldn't have a problem then.

and to really answer what blacklisting is in terms of using cd/dvd-images:

a game/application that recognises (/blacklists) software (alcohol, daemon tools, etc.) being used to emulate the original cd/dvd in a virtual cd/dvd-drive


ps.
(I really hope I'm right here, although I'm quite certain I am :P I don't want to be flamed hehe)
