Hitman Blood Money, doesn't load!

the uncracked version ran considerably faster than the protected one

What's the difference between uncracked and protected ? o.O

Weird stuff with cracked exes which slow down whereas the retail one works fine ?

yeh protected = the virgin exe (ie: securom)
cracked = well, cracked

probability is the crack was badly done, vm not handled 'perfectly' so weird shit happened etc.. it was definitive though, game was practically unplayable using the cracked exe

The Activemark EXE will also be checking the trial time every minute and updating stuff while it runs, so that will steal some CPU time too.

yeh though activemark would generally be less intensive than vm code.. so it shouldnt be as bad a performance hit... all differs from pc to pc though.. diff configs = diff results = diff headaches

what get's me about the lag is that if you download the demo..it is gonna lag like the real game...funny thing is that they released a patch for the demo and the game flies normal.

So i think that eidos deliberately released a broken game in order to prevent piracy..wish i knew what was in the demo patch that fixed everything i would translate that to my game....

but anyways we need a proper no dvd patch everything i tried so far does not work...

Hi,

I also found a crack for version 1.02 some weeks ago.
It should be the detonation crack (hbm12-dtn).

But I don't know if it is proper or not.

Guess what? I've just gotten around to trying that detonation 1.2 crack on my Hitman install patched to v1.2 and it LAGS so bad it's unplayable!

If I dump it myself and fix it a la tute, or use Dearm 2.1, it works absolutely fine. Seems detonation have have blown up another crack
