I have it zipped to 92 mbs, anyone know where I can host it??

[shawshank]

here is an FTP, one user only.

Someone get it and host it, I'll leave the FTP open for like 2 hours!!

I'd consider using the latest version of 7 Zip from w*w.7-zip.org, v3.13, as it will compress those files better and save your bandwidth. Plus, 7 zip is free to use.

I thought u mean the 7zip utility for ramdepacking when in use.

Its a nice tool to save space and as this tool includes all nessesayry stuff to depack the file on the fly its not the the prob anymore.

Btw the best compression on the files is uharcing them with multimedia mode, it saves you another 5 or 6 mb to ul but there will be some guys bringing it to gcw anyway. The ain prob of course is SF monitors gcw too and will change protection in the next patch then. But in my eyes patch cracking shouldnt be done as cracksa re fore testing purpose. DL a patch means u want to play through the game and then the one that wants this should buy the game anyway as then its worth the money. Dont tell me all here have original and only want the crack to prevent the orig CD to be broken. I have over 200 Games bought in the last 3 years and no CD yet got a single prob. If they bought it for money im sure they are skilled enough to save a CD from getting defect

SF3 is intresting but rumors say SF4 will be something like SF3 with addional Dongle Stuff or online Activasion which has already started.

To much ppl get the cracks yet so noone seems to try to learn more about the protection, neither in the scene or on public boards. You can count the ppl that are intrested in increasing skills to crack a protection but you cant count the ppl that cry for a crack the day a game goes store. :=)

Prolly thatswhy it takes ages to crack it. The more ppl increase their skills the faster you see cracks rising. And crackers will have a rl and search a job later and then what are they best in? Of course in developing a protection that disables their own and friends way to crack :=)

So as soon more ppl start trying beside crying its better as every newone has new ideas how to handle a prrotection. There are enough tutorials in the webs about sf3 vm opcode breaking and so on: check forums use google or just do a look at www.yates2k.net

have fun with it until next update or next game cracks

That's what I've been saying all the time...quit whining and fire up the debugger

Guys, you might not wanna use the crack. I've played the Xbox version, and I know what weapons you get during the game, so you can sure as hell bet I was shocked into a coma when I got to the 3rd mission (2nd if you don't count the training)! I played up to the beginning of the mission last night, and this morning I loaded up the save. Well.. god damnit.. wouldn't you know it, but all I had was a freaking shotgun! Even picking up dead guys weapons wouldn't get me new ones. In the end I get killed cuz I've run outta ammo for my stinking shotgun. I know for a fact that you carry your weapons over from mission to mission (in most cases), so this, to me, seems that the game is still protected some how. Oh well, back to the originals for me.

[michse]

Well first in the PC version it is like that, you always start with shotgun and pickup the weapons from deads. I hoped you were right but no way
ic hcekced myself. I could pickup and use weapons from deads and tracing through the functions and checks doesnt show something that prevents you from using the weapons u pick up too (which worked for me) im in level 5 actualy with no probs with the RELOADED crack and 2 friends finished the game already also with no probs. So what you wrote is simply wrong.

[BarryB]

I think the majority of people are put off learning the art of cracking purely because of the ammount of knowledge, effort and time needed to get a firm understanding of the art.

It's why I can only manage to do simple CD Checks

Yes, you were right, I was wrong, but ONLY about the weapons pickup, and not the rest.

I just tested it again (just incase I was messing it up). I played up until after the 2nd save this time (the mission that you have to kill the general in called "Slight Change of Plan") instead of the 3rd save. I had 3 weapons including the M60 (or M4?) you start with (and no shotgun btw). I played the level a bit, then aborted the mission, quit the game to my desktop, and loaded the game back up. Sure enough all I had was the shotgun after the level loaded! For one thing you shouldn't have acces to the shotgun until MUCH later in the game. Yes, I was able to pick up other weapons, but your telling me that it's standard for the game to do this? I mean, how can I start the level with all the weapons from the previous one, but when I load the level after having quit the game it resets to a shotgun? Uh, yeah, right... Sorry friend, but it's the crack that's messed up, and not the way the game plays.

For some reason this game will not load off the originals cuz of Starforce (rather the game won't play), so until it's fixed I guess I'll play the Xbox version again. At least then I can load the game with ALL my previous weapons intact.

Note: you have to play up to the 2nd save called "Slight Change of Plans" for this bug to rear its head. The first save plays the intro to the level, and it will always gives you the right weapons when the level loads. Not so, however, after the 2nd save.

Edit: One thing I've noticed is that when you get ammo for the M4 on that particular level you have your weapon available again. Now, either the game is removing all the weapons 'cept the shotgun (which you shouldn't have anyways), or the game is removing all the ammo for the weapons when you reload a level. Since your only picking up ammo this last part would make more sense.

Sorry i have to say either your install is ****ed or something else because im through the game without any of yous written things. So either it are Game bugs or i dont know. Kill Switch had 12 pcoded function which are used for hidden checks and so on and neither i nor my friend that got me the reloaded version had the problem you discribed and we both finished the Game. To bad the RLD crack is fine .

I've only played the game with the Reloaded crack itself overwriting my originals. I wouldn't be able to post in here long if I was using the pure Reloaded rip. Since I own the originals, and since the crack overwrites the necessary files, I would assume it would work properly.

You say your not having the same problems, but have you ever experienced what I'm suggesting? Where the level loads, and you have the weapons from the previous levels, but if you exit to desktop, and reload the level, all you have is the one weapon? No matter what I do this happens, even if I choose a seperate save file. If I continue playing level to level I still have the weapons, but as soon as I quit, and reload it messess up bad (I've gone as far as level 4 to make sure). Works fine for the first 2 (training and level 1), but not after level 2. I'm sure that if I got as far as the next cinematic it would work, but I have a feeling it would mess up again later.

[Tipstaff]

Well, after much trial and error I think I've found a way, at least for me, around this little problem. I loaded up the pure RELOADED version of the game that the crack was from, and which mische seems to have no problems with. Now, before anyone bans me note that I do own the original, and it shouldn't matter which copy I use, mine or the RELOADED one, since I do own the original CDs.

After having installed the RELOADED version I still had the same problem with the weapons disappearing after reloading a level. I had just restarted the game, loaded a level, aborted, then loaded a different level. This is when I noticed something odd. If I load the first save (the one that has the intro in it, and which is the one for start of the overall missison) then load the last save game (in this case mission #4) I will start that mission with the M4 (which is the starting weapon for the first save btw). Now, I don't know about you, but this is pissing me off. At least this time I have a decent weapon with plenty of ammo, but I should also have the AK47, and AKU. BTW: for those that have made it to the oil rig, load up the first level, then load an older one (like the 4th one). You'll notice that you have both he M4 AND the Snpier rifle. Go figure. Oh well.. I can wait... I still have my Xbox version, and now I have this work around if I decide to play the PC version.

Please shut up! Reloaded-Version works fine! BASTA!

[activegamer]

Guys I cannot seem to open the kill switch crack. After downloading the file I get the message that the file cannot be opened.

Anybody else have the same problem. I disabled all download managers and pop up killers.
