In need of a crack for Freedom Force.

I hate EA, they make backing up CDs so difficult.

Thanks

Have you looked in the usual places - see sticky topic at top of this forum.

Dracos · #3 26-03-2002, 11:40

Yep. The game was just released today so I imagine that no one has had a chance to crack it yet, just wishful thinking.

*Bump*

Does anyone know how to backup that freedom force cd?
A no-cd fix would be usefull too.

I used BlindWrite and BlindRead with my Plextor 16x and it worked like a champ.

Dracos · #7 27-03-2002, 14:23

You can play it without a fixed exe?

noahphex · #8 27-03-2002, 14:45

Yep no problems so far, though I'd prefer a fixed .exe as I don't like having to have a CD to play, as it makes starting the game slow.

The_Sandman · #9 27-03-2002, 15:48

where did you get the apps? (blind write and read)

noahphex · #10 27-03-2002, 15:49

I found the links for them off gamecopyworld.com.

The_Sandman · #11 27-03-2002, 15:50

oops, nevermind. Found them!

Hi,
I also need some help with Freedom Force, not with copying it, but to simply start the game. Apparently the Safedisk copy protection is not compatible with my CD-ROM. And since buying a new one is not an option, I am having some problems. I've tried to work around Safedisk using the conventional methods (Unsafedisk, Betablocker, Daemon Tools, Patchimage and Playback) to no effect.
i have also tried to patch it myself using Multipatch, but do not know enough about code and hex modification, etc.
Any help anyone can give would be appreciated, be it providing a nocd patch or just telling me how to learn more about the patching process. Thanks

well, you can try to have BLIND READER make an image of the disc (this will take awhile, maybe an hour or 2). Then Load that image into the virtual drive of the DAEMON MANAGER. That should work

slimtaro · #14 28-03-2002, 10:14

Thanks Sandman. I tried using the Virtual Drive on Deamon Tools with an image I made with CloneCD. Do you think it will work better with an image from Blind Reader? Thanks again.

slimtaro · #15 28-03-2002, 12:22

I've tried running FF using the Daemon tolls virtual drive and an image using Blindread image. No luck. When I try to run the program it still loads a Freedom Force title screen, and then nothing else. Does this sound like a Safedisk problem?
Btw, I could successfully run the demo, so I don't think it's my comp. Anyway I've updated all my drivers and and Directx.
If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate you posting them. Thanks.
