LotR: Battle for Middle-Earth 2 v1.05 - fixed exe not working

[them00n]

The crack works for starting the game, but when I try to launch a LAN Game, there's a conflict with the version of the game.
I checked the options and the result was: the game's versions changes everytime the game is started. In this way its impossible to create a LAN Game because the chance to get the same version number is very bad...

The latest crack DOES NOT WORK. I am running BFME2 Collectors Edition and have the same problem. The game opens, yet every time I open the game the version changes. I've had it vary between 0.14 and 0.88 I have 2 friends that have the exact same problem. I've tried a fresh install+patch and re-downloaded the patch incase it was corrupt somehow, but unfortunately didn't fix it.

Maybe Razor did that on purpose to stop you trying to play online with a crack? I assume it works with the original EXE?

[ASR-Briggs]

if they did then it's definitely a first

[BarryB]

Either that or it's a protection check they missed?

[ASR-Briggs]

Yeh that's probably much more like it. Is there any way to get in touch with the makers and let them know?

its similar protection to the command and conquer games, this 'issue' generally came around the time of c&c:generals, the code itself is quite tricky to find, and is relative to the executable self checking (so, yes it is a crack issue), as for contacting rzr.. good luck
