iND did the job fine and then Carbon released the 2k fix... What could TNT do? Well I guess they came up with a reason just to do it...

Your right they did a crack for AOE3 and not Civ4 lol close enough :P

To answer your first paragraph I would first have to understand the question

You are either asking me to prove myself..
Or you are someone who loves Civ IV so much that you would really love to have a no-cd patch that actually works
For whatever reason

I can only judge you from what you write so...

My guess is you are asking me to prove myself to you....
I have nothing to gain by proving something to you, do I ?

Remember I did not bitch about a crack.... I just can't stand people that say hash things about anything when I know they
Don't have a clue about it.... And I bet you are the same way..

@osco: You wrote: "The guy who tried to do the fixed exe for civ from PC game must be about 5 years old you can tell because of the total lack of intelligence
First it takes him 3 times to do the fix and it probably still has problems and 2 he cant figure out how to play the game and tries to say the reason is that its boring..... We all know that you just cant figure it up cause your either stupid or too young in the mind, probably both....."

Thus, you are bitching about the quality of the crack. Also, you still haven't proved that you would be able to crack it properly; actually, you haven't even proved that you are capable of cracking anything at all. In that case, you do seem to be someone who bitches about something that he was given for free, while he doesn't even know how much work was put into that free product. "Shut up!" and similar answers are quite appropriate in such cases.

You may be right about the incompetence of the crackers being unable to play the game thoroughly enough, to check whether the crack is proper or not. However, even if you are capable of playing the game, you are also incompetent to crack it properly. If you're unable to crack the game at all (0%), who are you to complain to someone who was able to mostly crack the game (9x%)?

According to what you wrote as far, you made an idiot of yourself and you're getting more and more entangled into it. On the other hand, there's absolutely no need to explain or prove anything about yourself. But then don't bitch about the cracks either. Instead, be patient, and some time a really proper crack may become available.

This noCD thing remind me of old days of late 80ties and early 90ties, when the main copy protection where in game quizes about something that can be only found in the manual.

Of course, early pirates dealt with this in similar way as today is done with noCD checks.

The sneaky thing that developers introduced was that some games had such check somewere in the middile of the game, and not only at start, which someone who casually played the game would not find out, and not make a workaround.

Mostly it referred to the same call in the protection. All checks throughout the game pointed to the same function and so crackers could make that function always return a valid number.

Right, that's enough name calling for today. Back on topic please, and the first one to throw another stone gets a ban.

I can't understand why PcGame released yet another crack for this game. There were already 2 working ones... I'll never understand that honestly..
