No offense to you guys saying the patch works, but when you've got less than 10 or 20 posts, you don't yet fall into the sphere of "trustworthy regulars" whose word can be taken as law.

right....lots of posts makes someone's word trustworthy. This is the internet dude. You can't trust anyone. Its not the spoon that bends, its your mind.

And, for the sake of argument, even if it didn't work, and punkbuster kicked you one time, you think that means your cd key is banned...after one time? Get serious. People get kicked by punkbuster many times for many things.

Anyway I used Alcohol to make a working image, but I did try the exe, and it did work. Oh ya, and I have a low post count.

Actually, a lot of posts on this forum do make you trustworthy, as the deadbeats who steal games or try to pass off trojans as cracks get banned in short order.

Yes, PB doesn't ban you for one offense, but many servers have their own scripts that record that one offense and then put you on their autokick list. The server that some friends of mine administer uses this very type of script, along with a registration script, to keep the smacktards away.

And don't use any Matrix references if you want to be taken seriously.

dont use shitty analogies from the matrix mate

pb allows a certain amount of uses before it detects it.

unless its an actually fixed exe it'll detect it kick you from the bf2142 servers and tll u you have a messed up exe file.


and theres pretty high chances that the ea fownloader exe file wont work with future versions of the dvd version of bf2142.

The difference between the two of us is that you actually care what people think of you. You'll grow out of that by the time you start shaving...maybe. You might also understand humour by then too.

Some advice, my young friend, anyone posting on this forum, and benefitting from any information posted here, is engaging in illegal activity.

For example, it is illegal to decompile, modify, and distribute the intellectual property of EA games. That property, is, but not limited to, the exe of BF2142, or any other game exe or file, for that matter. This site allows such activities to occur.

This site hosts tutorials on how to bypass, crack, or hack, copy protection from the intellectual property of game companies, and security companies.

This site has porn banners at the top of the page.

This site is affiliated/owned by gamecopyworld, the largest proliferator of hacked exe's. Hacked exe's provided by the many warez groups.

But....this site will ban someone for admitting that they downloaded a game.

LOL and you feel that someone who posts here a lot is trustworthy.

Virtual CD v8 : Options: Everything set on "Automatic" and "read CD Geometrie". The Image has ending ".vc4". Iso don't work, because you can't read cd geometrie with .iso.

That's it. I was surprised how easy. First try and it works. Alcohol didn't work.
You don't have to disable cd-roms or something like that !!!

I've heard, the programm works with gothic 3, too. I test it later.

------------------

German:
Virtual CD v8 runterladen.Habe alles auf automatisch bei den Settings eingestellt, Häkchen bei "Geometrie Daten lesen" und das war's. Image hat .vc4 Format. "Iso Format" funzt nicht, da bei Iso keine Geometrie Daten gelesen werden können. Lästiges Deaktivieren von Laufwerken oder sowas entfällt auch !

Virtual CD 8 is capable of remapping its virtual drive to a physical one, thats why the SCSI blacklisting of SD doesn't work here. Using Alcohol's/DT's virtual drive one has to deactivate optical drives in devive manager.

btw. there is no need to read "CD/DVD Geometrie" (Topology/Data position) as Safedisc media don't have special physical characteristics like e.g. Securom or Starforce ones.

There is a difference between free and stolen.

Link Removed! (battlefield_2142_BF2142_EXE_from_EA_Downloader_wo rks_online_without_cd
_dvd)

This is the ea downloader exe (patched to 1.01) and it works for us with dvd install aswell!

This is NOT a crack, this is a orginal EXE, but it dosent ask for the DVD. EA made a no_cd exe without knowing it ^^.

I read this thread in search for a mini image, but found this solution on a other forum and i regged here to share it with you afterwords.

Link to the other forum: (to you that dont believe me=) ) http://www.battlefield.no/forum/inde...post&p=1608414

EDIT: Do NOT post links to Warez sites!! - Grumpy

Regardless of what you may think of the legalities of decompiling, modifying etc we are all still allowed and entitled to create one working backup of our expensive DVD/CD's.
It is the publishers who force us to use modified files because of their protections.
If they really wanted to play fair they would supply us with 2 copies of the game. Then none of us would have an excuse to use modified files.

We can not stop people from downloading or using warez, what people do is entirely up to them, but we can stop them from talking about it on these forums. Discussing warez is not tolerated on these forums.

Many countries have different laws, I come from a country which allows me to create a backup. Most times I have to use a crack to make that backup work. That in my opinion is the fault of the publishers!

Brings me to the question! Why did you originally come and visit Fileforums? Was it to maybe obtain a crack!?

Tried to make a backup with alcohol 120%(the latest version) but it dosen't work.

Everytime i try to launch bf2142, it says that i need to have the dvd in my drive.

Yes, i've tried to use pr0t.stop and i've tried to disable my plextor dvd drive. But it dosen't work.

So i wonder if i've overlooked some options or maybe my dvd writer is just unable to make functioning image backup?



Edit: And when i want to make the image of bf2142, why can't i choose which cd protection to do it with? like i know its possible to choose "safedisc" but that options is gone.

No man, he came here to give us his little diatribe and to feel like a holier than thou queef of a man.

Maybe he's just a gimmick account. There can't be that much to do in Zimbabwe.

... in some countries. Did you know that countries have different laws? Did you know that mpsearch.ru, from which you could download MP3's for free, was (is?) legal in Russia, no matter what those fuckheads in the USA (MPAA, RIAA, whatever) say?

... which has nothing to do with games, illegal activities or anything else you mentioned. So, what's your point?

Do you understand that there's a great difference between A) creating, B) distributing and C) using cracks, from law's point of view? I would say that B) distributing may be the one that is illegal in the least number of countries...

If you think you're so smart, please, sit for ten minutes in complete silence, and find out the reason. Hint: direct and indirect breach of the law...
