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

[Joe Forster/STA]

Huh, what?! Is it you, kosmiq, running a bot?! I'm totally confused... He's definitely answering the questions and, perhaps, it's only the usual not very polite or sometimes downright rude style of this forum that makes such polite posts so surprising...

[rlsuth]

It makes no difference if you are in the USA or not, you can use a nocd crack if you want to, to play the game. After all, it's your copy of the software and your PC. If however, you make a copy of the game and try to distribute it, you'd be in trouble.

Hi Everyone,


I will not respond to the rudeness as I feel that "caki",
"Luciel", & "Joe Forster/STA", have done a great job in
pointing it out, and also dealing appropriately with the
absolute rudeness. Thank you very much for your input
"caki", "Luciel", & "Joe Forster/STA".

In answer to the suggestions and questions, if I were to
follow this route, I have another issue (problem) to deal
with and the issue is, I run my own business and I only
use (have) one computer, this computer is not only my
office computer, it is also my gaming computer.

So in other words to go down the route that all of you are
suggesting is not a viable choice for me, considering the
facts stated above.

That is why I came here to "FileForums" and registered,
I was hoping that if I brought the subject up, that maybe
(if I am lucky, hehe) someone might also know others in
this position, and come up with the No CD Patch solution
for the F.E.A.R. Community for all of the versions that
might be released in the future, including the F.E.A.R. 1.05
being released later in May\2006.

This request is not only just for me, as I believe others have
bought the F.E.A.R. CD Set also instead of buying the F.E.A.R.
DVD Set.

Last but certainly not least, so there is no confusion, I will not
change the way I communicate on these boards, I will continue
to treat strangers (people I do not know), friends (including
internet friends), and family with respect, patience, courtesy,
compassion, and understanding, something that seems to be
lacking these days more and more, especially on the internet.

I make no apologies for who I am or how I treat other human
beings (other human beings, OMG I guess he is not a Bot after
all, Muhahahahahaha).


Take Care Everyone,

Dunno what I should think about that :P
I'm kind of confused LOL

[Luciel]

Ok well the point is the NODVD should work, if it doesn't then the only other way is mini image, and if you don't want to use that, then i'm afriad there's no other solution :/

[RincewindTheWiz]

Well he can also burn a backup image with RPMS emulation and keep his originals safe that way. I don't know why so many people seem to want to avoid mini or full images, it's the only thing I use for my games these days. When I buy a new game (like Battlefield 2), first thing I do is check for a mini image on GCW, and if it's not there I will make my own full image. Sure it costs extra hard drive space but it allows me all the advantages of a crack (except the faster load times) and at the same time I can easily install any patches.

In the meantime I see lots of people over in the Civ 4 1.61 thread wailing about the fact that they can't get a working crack. And they won't even try a mini image. Some people are set in their ways I guess.


Yeah, yeah, so am I but my ways are superior

[IAMCANADA]

To Luciel & RincewindTheWiz,


I understand what it is that you are trying to tell me,
so if the No DVD Patch should work with the F.E.A.R.
Set of CD's, could you please let me know if my
procedure (method) is correct.

1) Make a copy of the original exe, paste it into a folder
on your desktop for safe keeping.
2) Overwrite the original exe with the New No DVD Patch.
3) Use create shortcut and make a new shortcut for the
game and place it onto your desktop.
4) Restart your computer.
5) Using the new shortcut on your desktop, click it and
play the game.

If my procedure (method) is correct, and I seem to be
doing everything right, then as far as I know the No DVD
Patch does not work with the F.E.A.R. Set of CD's.

It would be nice if someone else has the F.E.A.R. Set of
CD's, to try and see if the No DVD Patch works for them,
at least that way if it does work for them, then I would
know that the fault lies in my hands. However I do believe
I am correct about this information.

I will remain patient and wait (not whine, lol), because
you never know, someone might decide to come up with
a No CD Patch for this game in the future (if time and luck
permits).

I would like to express my most sincere thanks to all of you
who have tried to help me, I am very grateful for your time
and especially your patience with me, I really appreciate
your efforts on my behalf.

Many thanks again to all of you.



Take Care Everyone,

Me running a bot?
Nooooo waaaay....

I love you to man...

To rlsuth,


Yes, you are right, it should have looked more like this
(I was in a rush as I was working, lol):

"I do write, however it has always bugged me the way
some people destroy the english language.

Whenever I get the opportunity to write, I use the proper
English when writing posts, letters, etc.

No matter what it is that I am writing at the time, I always
tend to use proper English, lol."


I hope this is more to your satisfaction, hehe.


---------------------------------------------------------------


To robo989,


Your literacy skills amaze me, and yet you feel you have
the right to criticise me, lol.

However, your suggestion about uninstalling and reinstalling
the game is a valid one.

I should try your suggestion, at least that way I will know
for sure if it is the F.E.A.R. No DVD Patch that is not working
for the F.E.A.R. CD Version of the game, or if the fault lies
on my end.

Thanks for the suggestion.


---------------------------------------------------------------

To DABhand,


You have stated that you own the F.E.A.R. DVD Version.

I do not know if you have noticed the title and the contents of
this post (thread), however if you did, you would realize that
the issue is not with the F.E.A.R. DVD Version.

The problem lies with the F.E.A.R. CD Version of the game, lol.


--------------------------------------------------------------


To kosmiq,


You must be a BOT also, because my understanding is, only
BOTS recognize other BOTS, hehe.

It sure is nice to know that I am not the only BOT in town,
hahahahahaha.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, thanks for the DRAMA and the LAUGHS everyone
I am back to work now, hehe.

Well, to be honest, I don't really care how you write, as long as I can understand what you're trying to say. After all, that's the whole point of a language: to make people understand you. Yes, it's important to be precise when you need people to be certain of exactly what you're trying to tell them, or instruct them to do, but, on a bulletin/conversation board, one can generally determine what point someone is trying to get across without the Queen's English being necessary (especially if it's not their first language).

As for your corrections: "Whenever I get the opportunity to write, I use the proper English when writing posts, letters, etc." is still incorrect. It would have been correct to say: "Whenever I get the opportunity, I use the proper English when writing posts, letters, etc."

To rlsuth,


You must have a ton of time on your hands for you to
come back and correct two words in my sentence, lol.

Either you are retired, or not working perhaps, certainly
not married with children (if you were, you wouldn't have
anytime to read, never mind write, hehe), or maybe you
just like to try and make people look foolish, thinking this
makes you look like the big man (how childish, hehe).

Unfortunately, you have failed, I sure hope this makes you
feel so much better in the mornings, a little dig with your
coffee perhaps, who's buttons am I going to push today,
lol.

You would think that with all of the hate and fighting going
on in the world these days, that you might want to try and
start thinking about being part of the solution, rather then
being part of the problem.

I agree that this is the internet, however that is still not an
excuse for either trying to make yourself look like a big
guy\girl by trying to bring others down, or running back
into a post just to correct two words, and then state that
honestly you really don't care how I write.

You Don't care how I write, this is a statement that is
untrue considering the fact that you did come back and
correct my writing again.

Personally I am not concerned all the time about how I
write, to me it is more about if I am getting my point
across, and whether I can do it without hurting anyone.

I am now done, I believe I have made my point, hmmm
should I be really looking over what I have written
considering the fact you may come back and correct me
again, omg what should I do.

Bottom line is I really hope that you and your family
are well and happy, and that life is good for you.


Peace.

Wow, just wow, not only a total lack of comprehension, but a sad case of the pot calling the kettle black and jumping to a lot of false conclusions. I'm not on here to make people look foolish, they (and you especially) do a perfectly adequate job of that without my help.

Adding anything else would cause a flame war to start where none was called for, so I'll leave you to your self-esteem issues.

To rlsuth,


Nice comeback, hehe, no need for a flame war, just trying
to make a point that is all. I do not have self esteem issues
either, however, oh never mind, hehe.

There is no need for us to commence a full blown out flame
war on these boards, you have my full agreement on that,
ok, lol.

The Admins are probaby thinking that your last two replies,
my last reply, plus this reply by myself, were really not
necessary at all, which I would probably agree with them
also.

So, let us just leave things the way they are, and wish each
other the best of everything, hopefully putting this behind
us and making a new start, hopefully you will agree with
me on this issue.

Even after all of this, I still say to you and yours.

Bottom line is: I really hope that you and your family
are well and happy, and that life is good for you.

Peace.


Admins: If you feel at this point that there is nothing left to
say in this post, then I have no issues (none with my self
esteem either, LOL) with you locking this post up, ok, hehe.
