Looking For F.E.A.R. Version 1.4, No CD Patch. ;)

Hi,
does the nodvd fail to work with the cd-version?

Hi phil8900,


In answer to your question, unfortunately
the answer is yes, it does not work with the
legally store bought F.E.A.R. CD Version 1.4.

btw, the "nocd" was done with the downloadable activemark version...
but it should work with the cd aswell the dvd version because both are patched to v1.04.

Hi cdkiller,


I realize that you have probably been around and
involved much longer then I have, also that you
most likely have more experience using CD patches
then I do.

However as mentioned before, unfortunately I am not
lying, the F.E.A.R. No DVD Patch for Version 1.04, does
not work with the Retail Legally store bought F.E.A.R. CD
Version 1.4.

I have tried the versions available at three different sites,
and also one sent to me by a friend who has the Retail
Legally store bought F.E.A.R. DVD Version 1.4.

Unfortunately none of them have worked, and yes I
understand the concept of how to use one, lucky that I
follow the instructions properly and made a backup copy
of my original exe, that way at least when it didn't work
I was still able to use my CD and play the game with my
friends online.

Thank you very much for the information cdkiller, it is just
unfortunate that it does not work with the CD set.

Hi cdkiller,


I really appreciate your response, thank you for taking the
time to respond cdkiller.

However (please understand, this is just my personal opinion),
I feel that going down that route would seem like an illegal route
for me, I cannot and will not consider using that sort of illegal
route to try and solve my issue.

If I am just using a No CD Patch with legal CD's, all I am doing
at that point is protecting my CD set of Disks, and I do not feel
I am circumventing the law in any way, I have no intention of
breaking the law.

For now I will continue to use my legal disks with the hope that
someone might or may be able to come up with a No CD Patch,
I just worry about scratching my disks and then I would have to
buy the game again, up here in Canada games are not cheap,
quite expensive in fact to tell you the truth.

Again, many thanks to you cdkiller, I really do appreciate your
efforts while trying to help me solve this issue.


Take Care,

Are you reluctant to use a mini image that someone else created? If you read the FAQ and manage to create a full image from your own original CD/DVD that works by mounting it and using some hider tool then I don't think you should feel bad about it. Good luck!
