Game Forum / Action Games / Doom / September 2004Any problems with the no-cd?
There's a no-cd crack at gamecopyworld, does it work OK? Does it cause online problems, which I've vaguely heard it does?

Steve [Inglo] why not just TRY it? you can always go back to the original file..

Could be coincidence could be related. I've got a real CD-Key. Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced anything odd happening using it. Right now I'm using the cracked exe for playing Single Player and the original for multiplayer, someone's got to find a way to get more than 4 players involved. I hate having to have a CD in the drive while playing games.

He then gives it to his friends who've downloaded the game. Well, it could happen. >"Inglo" wrote... > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Well, it could happen. It could, but it's just as easy to prevent that sort of stuff from happening. If a real firewall (i.e. a completely separate node) blocks every form of internet traffic, then there is no possibility of your CD-key being compromised. (Your computer could still be messed up with malicious code, but your CD-Key is safe.)

(Your computer could still be messed up with malicious code, > >but your CD-Key is safe.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been using Doom 3 with the CD for a couple weeks now. I tried the no-CD fix on gamecopyworld.com, but I got a warning from my Norton Internet Security about the doom3.exe trying to connect to the Internet. I don't remember the exact message I received, but I blocked the request. Here is what my Alert Log says: The user has created a rule to "block" communications Outbound UDP packet Local address,service is (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,x) Remote address,service is (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,domain(xx)) Process name is "C:\Program Files\Doom 3\doom3.exe" As I said, I've been playing with the CD for a while now and never had that message pop up until the first time I tried the no-CD patch (as soon ans I double-clicked the shortcut). Is this false alarm, is this normal, or is this a real problem? Chad >> >>>>There's a no-cd crack at gamecopyworld, does it work OK?

I got the same notice from Zone Alarm, but the folks here told me it was just a normal process of the game, related to its automated multiplayer routines that run during startup. Or something like that. -Marshall > I got the same notice from Zone Alarm, but the folks here told me it was > just a normal process of the game, related to its automated multiplayer > routines that run during startup. Or something like that. > -Marshall Cool. That's probably true, but I was wondering why I never got that warning when I was playing with the CD originally. It popped up when I clicked the shortcut to Doom3.exe when I replaced the exe file. The only thing I can think that I did different is that I didn't double click the shortcut. I just put the CD in the drive and play from the autoplay menu. I haven't patched Doom 3. I deleted the Doom3.exe from gamecopyworld.com and have been playing again using the CD. I kept the original exe. I purchased the game, but I like the idea of playing without the disc. It's no big deal. I can just keep playing with the disc.

I believe NIS scans all your internet enabled programs when you install them and allows them to access the web if it can find a verifiable signature. Whenever you change a program executable it let's you know it's changed. If you were to install the beta patch from id you'd get the same warning. This has nothing to do with using a crack per se, any change in the exe will cause this. If you get a warning like this for some program that you did not intentionally change, if something on your machine has been compromised, then the warning can be valid. One of the benefits of ZoneAlarm over NIS is you can set a program's state to "frequently modified", I change my browser and e-mail client's exe nearly every day, so I have them set to "frequently modified", most of my games are set that way too.

I wouldn't worry about this one, the alert you got was likely just your firewall doing its routine job, playing it safe. -Marshall > You got the warning because that's the way a firewall is supposed to > work.

Okay, I finally understand. Thanks to everyone for the information. Chad no worries - assuming you've bought te game in the first place - just don't give your cd-key to any mofo.. > > >>>>There's a no-cd crack at gamecopyworld, does it work OK?
