Well, misterXzibit, with the .exe, it works fine!

Thank you!

Hackers for ever! (Or... something like that!)

P.S. Oh, by the way, even though I'm sure it works fine, my computer is quite the bad guy when it comes to crack... I'll fully test it tomorrow... (But it should work fine right?) Just kidding!

[TippeX]

hmm, so how the hell did it work for some people when you forgot to include the exe in the initial 'release'.... odd odd odd odd odd odd

[MarsTheGod66]

i already had the 1.15 standalone patch, so i downloaded the crack from post #265 and the game starts without any problems, hooray for misterxzibit

1.15 Crack only (plus the _asxdox folder) mirrored on TurboUpload:

Seems that this is some kind of a loader and the files in asxdox dir are dvd copy protection information.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Actually, the files in the "_asxdox" subdirectory seem to be small chunks of a cracked executable... A very innovative way of cracking, if I may add...!

[TippeX]

hmm let me be the first to say this crack is shit heh
basically the code loads up, then virtualalloc's memory blocks
(with NO handling for failure... just a lame 'memory error' messagebox), then reads the file data into them
the dumped data is not dvd data as chron states, its basically
a dump of memory (virtualalloc hooked?) which they then reload again

needless to say if the virtualalloc fails (as they try and get the address on the same base as the dumped it from... which simply wont work on some pc's.. dll's might be loaded there etc..) then the entire thing will crash when that code is called...

the filenames of the files are the virtual memory address they were dumped from
and theres a lot of 00's which the cracker could have trimmed making the crack smaller, as virtualalloc'd memory is automatically zerofilled to begin with...

oh yeh and the data has the users environment dumped.. administrator... computer name flf, does noone even bother to crack properly anymore?

simple loader, injection approach... flawed

innovative... hardly, did you actually analyse it joe?.. its dumped vm fragments amongst other things...

[chron]

I do not have the knowledge to figure out how this crack works so I just assumed what it is.

But to assume it is a loader was not wrong at all

Thx for extending my knowledge TippeX.

[Vortaka]

And so what TippeX? I mean... how should I/we care about the way it is done? It works and to the 8 hours of play I did, never crashed, bugged or hanged even once...

Even if it is not an innovation or even a new trick hackers do, it still does the job, no?

And, just for the record, the file size of those junky memory blocks (with the addition of the v1.15 executable) is about equal to the file size of the hacked executable for v1.08. I'm not a hacker but could it be possible that it was the exact same thing that was done before but instead of putting it in files, it was putted in the executable? Just a guess!

Anyway... Just to let who ever reads this to know that this hack works flawlessly... for me anyway! (And after testing all other methods: W2K compatibility, mini image, Curerom, Aika, asr and mixed of those methods; none of them worked, I really appreciate the guy/guys who did this!). Way a go!
