BF2 1.4 Crack Online Issue

[DABhand]

Most of those games werent really online specific games, unlike BF2 which is designed to be played online.

The thing is that punkbuster do checks the hash of the .exe file and a LOT of other files in the game dir. If it finds a file thats not the correct size it will kick you out from the game. Punkbuster DO CHECKS the .exe file in Battlefield 2.

If you don't believe that, well have fun getting your cracked bf2 to work...

Add the fact that when it comes to MP games its a little up and down with cracks. Some games will allow it, others won't. Games designed for MP (BF2) have CD-check and hash-check. Both to prevent hacks and to make people use the cd. Thats just how it is.

Trust me, in this case you'll need to use the mini-image or stick to SP playing.

Well you could of course do some work on the cracked .exe file and fool it into having the same hash as the original, good luck with that though.

The reason BF2 1.0 worked with crack were that the punkbuster checks on the .exe files were added in later versions. You can however use a cracked file now too if you don't play on punkbuster enabled servers...

looks like its back to the original disc :P

i could never get the mini image to work with this no matter what method i tried.

@ dab hand

quake 4,battlefront 1 + 2,unreal 2004,battlefield 1942 + vietnam,doom 3, and arguably the cod and moh series are all mainly online games,infact i dont think i have ever played any of them offline.

Quake 4 was single player, and was advertised as such
As was Doom 3
And COD and MOH.

Yes they have Multiplayer elements but they are essentially when bought single player.


Like for example Mage Knight Apocalypse, it has MP elements but its mostly a SP game.


Since the SP games have some MP elements then most wont have much online protections.

Except for the MP specific games, like BF's and HALO's and Unreal Tournament's. These will have these checks to make sure, people have the real deal, and they arent using any mods and 3rd party programs that would give them an advantage.

ok...

halo is much a 'online' game as quake 4 is.

halo has a massive single player mode.

the fact is if you look at the xfire board that logs games stats you will see that cod games and quake 4 are amongst the top played online games AHEAD of unreal 2004 the battlefront games...so my point has some substance...if the games are that heavily populated online then the servers will infact have good protection...ie punkbuster.

but just to end this silly debate,punkbuster is punkbuster..cod use's it..pretty sure all popular online games use it,so my point is not irrealevent,its just a example.

btw i tried your method,it didnt work. im now using my original disc again *sigh*

Battlefield and the Unreal Tournament games are purchased 'purely' as online games, you wouldnt purchase them unless you intended to play online as single player mode is just pointless.
The same cant be said for the other games you mentioned. I have purchased, Doom 3, Quake 4 and all the MOH games yet I never purchased them to play only online, and I have never played them online. I have however played them on LAN but thats not why I originally purchased them.
