If still no mirror works, download the crack here:

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE 1.06-CRACK FROM "Starf-u-c-kers"!

Thank you for the linky, but I saw only a german crack.Is there maybe a crack for the hungarian version?

@ BarryB:

Thanks, your NO-CD-CRACK works fine! I've just started playing this fine game 2 weeks ago! Before this crack I was playing the game on version 1.06 with the "Starf-u-c-kers-crack", but now I've updated to version 1.10 and I can play without having to use the CD and without ****ing "StarForce 3"! I really hate this copy protection! But most of my savegames are gone now, that's the only bad thing!
But what is this MOD-PATCH for? I installed it after having installed the OFFICIAL 1.10 PATCH as described in the Crack-Instructions on GCW.
And I DID NOT appöy any 64-bit-patch and it works fine or have you modified the EXE-FILES that come with the crack??? I have compared the 2 files from the archive with those 2 originals and they nearly seem to be the same (size & date)!

Greetings,

@ foriavik:

There is a new NO-CD-CRACK for version 1.10 since yesterday available on GCW and this one is international as the OFFICIAL 1.10 PATCH is international!
I just tested it and it works fine!

@MontyBurns1985: The Mod patch and PANZERS_MOD.EXE is for when you want to create/install and play mods for the game. I said to include the mod patch to cover all bases, you don't actually need it if you're not going to install mods for the game. Here's what the readme for the Mod patch says:

Codename: Panzers by Stormregion - International retail v1.10 MOD patch

With the new MOD Patch, a modding version of the program has been released which allows players to create and play with fully customized game parameters in single and multiplayer games.

So you can just ignore the modpatch and use just the PANZERS.EXE to play normal SP/MP or install the modpatch and PANZERS_MOD.EXE to play SP/MP with 3rd party mods applied.

If you install the Official Win64 patch rather than just copy over the 2 EXE's from GCW, it will ask if you want to create a link for the MOD patch as you'll have to create one manually otherwise

As for your savegames going missing, these are OFFICIAL patches so it must be an incompatability of the v1.10 patch and earlier versions of savegames?

[MontyBurns1985]

@ BarryB:

The thing with the savegames is in fact an incompatibility of the OFFICIAL 1.10 PATCH, the ReadMe says that all savegames which were created by a lower version than 1.06 can NOT be used anymore! My savegames were created with version 1.06, so I don't know because that is not lower! The savegames are still in "C:\...\Codename Panzers - Phase One\Run\SaveGames", so they are not gone!

But after installing the PATCH 1.10 with your crack and playing a while (german campaign, mission 04) there were some strange graphic bugs which were not there when I was playing on version 1.06 with the "Starf-u-c-kers-crack"!
The graphic options of the game are set as before, "Standard (Default)".
So do I have o update my graphic cards' drivers for PATCH 1.10 or is it a problem because of the fact I did NOT INSTALL the 64bit-patch?
Meanwhile I am playing on version 1.06 again because these graphic bugs make playing a bit difficult and are pesky!

Have you an idea how I can solve the problem with the graphic bugs, so that I can play on version 1.10 with your NO-CD-CRACK?

Greetings,

[BarryB]

Not sure what's going on with the graphics bugs and savegames Monty? What type of graphics bugs are you getting?

The ideal thing would be to uninstall EVERYTHING and reinstall from scratch, install the 1.10 patch and NoCD and play again and see if it re-occurs! I would update video drivers only if the graphics bugs are still there just to see. I'm running with an ATI X850 XT and CAT 5.9 and not seen any graphic bugs yet, only played through the tutorial though!

Also download and run SFCLEAN.EXE to get rid of any Starforce crap!

The 2 files I sent to GCW are from the OFFICIAL Win64 bit patch, they are 100% genuine and not modified in anyway, they are the only files that get installed with the patch anyway. If you want to check, just find a util called HWUN and unpack the Win64 bit patch, then compare the 2 files with those from GCW, they should be identical!

Could you try your savegames on someone elses machine? It would help to see if the same graphic problems happen on the German Mission 04.

So if I understand correctly the 64-bit mod exe also works with a 32 bit system

[BarryB]

Yes!

The Win64 patch just contains 32bit unprotected EXE's. In fact, it doesn't say which version of the game it works with but I think it's for the v1.10 patch because I get a 'Game files are corrupted' error if I use them with the retail game but not with the v1.10 patch installed.
