POP3 No-DVD/Fixed EXE

[qrpiech]

maybe we'll finally have the gore patch done

Right, thanks
I've got an identical MD5 for the EMEA DVD version of POP3.dat, and what this tells me is that the crack is bust
Why?-
POP3.dat is the 'real' executable for the game, and is executed within the SF virtual machine/ filesystem. My initial thought was that there could be different versions of this floating around for the different versions (US / EMEA & CD / DVD), and that the crack had been hacked, but would only launch a single version of this. These are identical though, so either we are missing a cracked POP3.dat or the crack is simply bull; I think the latter

I have yet to try it but I imagine that it's a fluke. Seems to be. I was thinking that the most effective solution for defeating StartForce is Working with the Crap Drivers it installs on the Machine? Is this line of thinking completely wrong or unrealistic? Don't Flame the Noob with Answers like.. Sure if you want to reverse engineer it and yada-yada. I imagine that but, Just wondering if that avenue has been explored.

Within the Config Files Is there Anything Useful? GUID or the like?

Either Way until something works:
Start -> Run
D:/AMIR.EXE /drv:remove
Shipping this game back to UbiSoft with a dead cat.

Enough comments to tell this is a dud, it will be removed and trashed

[therealpepe]

is there no way to crack this exe, or the other "important" files ?

Yes, there is a way. But one can only show you the way, it is you who have to step on it.
