Bioshock

[TippeX]

well, try the steam guys first i guess, or send a nice email to the securom people
uk release was only activated today afaik, so could be teething problems / bad timing..
u tried again?

gr8 game, i bought mine too, well worth it

[caki]

Yep, tried again this morning and works flawlessly on my computer, and my bro got his version too, and its working nicely. I guess it was a temporary issue

They cracked the activation process on Steam

Now we need only someone who's able to crack the SecuROM 7 protection.

I think it is forbidden to mention this site.

[Dixxon]

this works for non steam versions too.

[TippeX]

there are activation cracks? somehow i doubt it, cos the game hasn't been pirated yet (?), the only things i saw about were fake cracks, trojans etc...

Could anybody upload the mds from Bioshock (English version)? My device fails on dpm extraction. Thank you.

Well I got the games installed and activated on all 30 of our computers at my lan center and works flawlesly, we just need a no dvd crack. An image would be the best but hell even a fixed .exe would protect our original disks.

The files that are missing are as follows and can be downloaded free:

d3dx9_33.dll
xinput1_3.dll

This needs to go in \Program Files\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release

Now we need a keygen as it wants a serial number

LOL I had to sign on just for this guy. Your other post was "you didnt buy the game" Is this how you make friends? Telling people that you KNOW they downloaded the software? I have HL2 plus others through STEAM and can prove it yet I have a CD CRACK. Because sometimes I dont FEEL like connecting just to steam just to play HL2 or LOOKING around for where the HELL did I put that CD. Over 3000 posts and because someone wants a NO CD crack there lying. Do you even KNOW where your posting at? I'm sure you got your little secrets sitting behind that screen where NO ONE can see. Good GOD these guys are not hackers just people LIKE YOU who get tired of putting that CD in EVERYTIME. I like this site. You feel like being HOLY? Go give blood or give money to the poor or MS or go visit some old people that have NO ONE to help. Yep I have.

This thread seems to start to sound like a warez fest. Keep in mind the forum rules.
Nine Lives, Dixxon, please read them carefully, as that you can get banned if you don't stick to them. The GCW moderators are very strict.
Dnaekk, requesting original files is also againt the forum rules.
Cracking the activation is considered warez.
Most likely will see a crack for the DVD-check, but not for the activation.
I guess all the cracking teams are waiting for the upcoming patch. The PC version came out more like a beta version, rather than a finished game. There are some serious bugs and the frustration of the legit buyers in the 2k Games forums is raising hell there.
They should've delivered a polished product and beta-test longer, rather than introducing a protection scheme that will affect only their customers.
The fact that you have only 2 installs on the same machine(and many people lost one already when the activation servers crashed), the online activation, the use of a known version of Securom 7.31 which was known to give problems are pushing the people who bought the game to utter despair.
The XBox360 version is almost flawless, yet the PC fans got the worst. At the beginning they tried to blame piracy, but there are no cracked versions or keygens for that. In their newest press release, the developers apologised to the fans, but the fault doesn't lie only on the shoulders of the developping company, but also on the publisher, which is actually in charge of support and which asked for that protection scheme.
The publishing houses are the ones who are deciding which protection scheme will be used and the developping company has no other choice than to implement the wish of the publisher.
So the guilt is shared. But the patch it ain't ready yet. And apologies won't do.
I think the two install margin is gross. If the publisher cosider that this game it has only a two times replay value, than I don't have anything else to say. As a good news the patch will extend the 2 install margin at 5, after that you will have to use an activation key removal tool, which will be provided by the developping company and you will have to go all over again through the activation process and than you will have another five installs. Weeee...
Mind blowing for people which payed for the game.
