Far Cry 3 Pc Patch 1.04 Crackl
Srikanth Fonseca
I could play Skirmish, but the campaigns couldn't be played unless I had the CDs. I have another crack for this game, but it's 1.04. Comparing between 1.09 crack and that one, the 1.09 crack has only one file, Emperor.exe, and lacks of Game.exe and other files that the 1.04 crack has.
So, at this point, I decided to replace the Game.exe file in the game directory (along with other files whose names I can't remember) with the 1.04 Game.exe. I didn't replace the Emperor.exe (it has been replaced previously with the 1.09 Emperor.exe). And what happened? THE GAME RETURNED TO 1.04!!! So sad. Any ideas to solve this?
Heck, I cracked my C&C3... it's a full hard disk install anyway and only needed the DVD to check if I own the game. Well screw that. It's way handier to play games without needing to insert the disk, especially if it's not necessary.
Feyd-Rautha: Only one of these (game.exe) is the actual game executable. The other one (emperor.exe) is just a small tool launching the game.exe. You can usually see this from the file size of the involved files. So obviously replacing that game.exe downgraded your game version again.
By the way, I'm fairly sure that making a no-cd Emperor requires you to copy a bunch of files from the CDs to your hard disk, and mess with some settings text files to tell the game to read the videos from your hard disk rather than asking for a CD.
However, at any rate I suppose that there is little we can do to help Feyd-Rautha with without the details on the crack that was being used. Unless someone of you is willing to hack a clean version of the executable v1.09 to make it play without the CD that is.
Could you please provide examples - clauses from respective legislation that state there is no violation of law in hacking a game in order to remove copy protection, or cases that set the precedent of this being legal? Also, what are those "most countries" you are referring to?
(2) that such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes only and that all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.
Its legal for the same reason its legal to break css on a DVD to make an archival backup, as its impossible to make a backup copy without breaking the encryption (in this case, removing the cd requirement).
(2) that such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes only and that all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.[1]

It's generally against any EULA to modify the existing program, sure, but the matter here was a rule against piracy. According to these EULA rules practically all modding our community does is illegal as well. Stick to the actual forum rules. The original questions here were not piracy related.
Recently, I uninstalled E:BfD in order to patch the game to 1.09. It worked. However, it needed to be cracked. I found a 1.09 crack, so I replaced the .exe and entered the game. Nice!

At any rate, the best thing we could advise is to create digital images from the CDs if the owner does not want to wear them down or whatever, and then mount them as virtual CD-ROM drives. Not only is this entirely legal but it also spares the troubles that many NoCD cracks have (also you play with 100% original game content, no hacks or modifications).

Ah well. Anyway, I can tell you that if a similar question were posted in a Russian old-gaming forum I know (where people as you might guess are quite lenient towards issues concerning NoCDs, cracks etc.), the OP would be either provided with a link to a reliably working crack or asked to link to the crack he had used himself. Such links are certainly against the rules here.
To practice for a recording, this friend likes to open up Ableton to set up a recording track with monitoring, and open up YouTube on Chrome to play the backing track they have for practicing, and they practice with that setup.
Apparently, they were able to do this without an issue before, but now, when they sing and the input clips, it clips really harshly doing a nasty crackling. Someone suggested changing the output's bit depth from 24 to 16, and it reduced the crackling a little bit, but it didn't go away.
A detail to take into account is that, before, they formerly used an older version of the interface's drivers, version 1.0.4 if I recall correctly. Recently, the interface would sometimes crash, it would go mute if some programs weren't opened and closed in the right order, and they had to restart the computer to get it working again. Because of this, I updated the driver to version 1.1.7 and that stopped happening. But now there's this clipping issue. Could it be directly related to this?
I updated the firmware that was released yesterday for the WDTV Live HUB to Release 2.02.19 (12/1/10) and the audio crackling noise still exists (of-course it was never fixed in this release according to release notes but I just wanted to let WD know)
I just got my WD TV Live Hub a few days ago because I got tired of reencoding all my MKV files (with mixtures of AAC, AC3, DTS, VORBIS, FLAC audio tracks) into MP4s with AAC so they could be played on my PS3.
Yeah I use MKVextract to extract the vorbis file, mediacoder to convert to AAC then MKVMerge to remux. Works well but as mentioned, very tedious. Hopefully the will be acknowledged as a bug and fixed soon. Cheers
We've had this Canon Imageclass MF267dw for about a year now, Recently, there is a crackling / crinkling /plastic noise whenever we send something to print, starting as soon as the machine 'wakes up' to print.. I opened all doors, removed toner and drum, the noise is present when those are not in the printer. I closed all the doors and when the machine tried to get itself sitauted, the same noise was present - towards the rear of the machine . I checked the rear flap with (obviously since i'm posting about it here) no success. Itt sounds like a small, flexible piece of plastic/ vinyl is catching on a wheel/gear - it is rythmic . One coworker said it sounded like mice. None of the visible parts (when opening the various doors) have anything wrong with them. Changing out the toner cartridge did not change the noise, which was present even without comsumables in the machine. Prints have not changed in quality. I used to work in a copy center, i'm comfortable hand actuating various gears to get small pieces of caught paper out - I couldn't find anything, and frankly, it's embarrassing. Thanks in advance for any help.
It looks like you have already checked all the locations needed for obstructions/jammed paper. If the printer still makes that noise, it looks like there is something wrong with the hardware. In this situation, I would suggest contacting our phone team at 1-800-652-2666. Our agents would be happy with assisting you locate what is making that noise and they can provided service options if needed.
I did call the team, there wasn't anything they could do to fix the machine. that problem got worse, pages started getting eaten within a week of me posting this. HOWEVER Canon support got me a replacement for my machine with minumum effort needed on my part. So, while i'm disappointed i couldn't actually repair the machine, my problem is overall solved.
Background:
Having been a windows user for a very long time, I got fed up with it and installed arch (No regrets). There were a few other factors in the decision too but I did have a bit of experience using linux (Which is why I was sure I wanted to switch). I have had pretty much no trouble getting things to work properly and configuring stuff to my liking. However, I have been unable to resolve this issue that pops up after a game has been running for 2-3 minutes and makes it hard to hear much.
