Finally, an official approval for the NoCD

Tuddley3 · 10-14-09, 04:20 PM

I just received a PM at Ubi from ms-kleaneasy, a forum manager. I brought it to her attention that at the German sister site, they have been openly using it there, and it would be nice to finally put this hush-hush BS to bed once and for all.

Wow,how cool finally

Wolfehunter · 10-14-09, 10:12 PM

Its about time damnit.

Is it the same set of files that has, erm, been floating around since mid-Sep 2005, or is it a newly created set of files?

Same set I'd imagine. Nothing newer currently available as far as I know.

@ Tuddley

Just because UBI policy may have changed, does not mean that Subsims has. Best contact Neal before publically offering this file set.

Tuddley3 · 10-15-09, 03:25 AM

Yes, same files. Also thanks Danlisa, I will contact him immediately.

Onkel Neal · 10-15-09, 11:34 AM

Yeah, let's go with this, unless I hear otherwise from Ubi.

thx
Neal

@Tuddley3

Is BtS open for registration ?

Tuddley3 · 10-15-09, 12:54 PM

It should be sometime this evening. They said it would take somewhere between 24 - 48 hours to process, and it's been at least 36 hours.

Also, I'm trying to figure out if I can transfer all the old registrations from the old site and save everyone from having to register again.

i bought the Game MANY years ago, I promise, but it was too much of a damn hassle on a laptop (having only 1 disk drive) to constantly be taking the disk in and out, only to be left on my desk to be scratched up! I also travel a lot, so i hate taking disks with me in case I want to get some SH3 in on the car trip, or on the train, etc.

Bottom line: ITS JUST TOO EASY TO JUST CLICK ON THE ICON, AND IT GOES!!!!!

Tuddley3 · 10-15-09, 05:18 PM

I'm sure your not alone. I've used it for about 2 years. Also, I'm not sure if Neal would approve of talking about Gamecopyworld here ?

But you're right, it does preserve the life of both the DVD and the drive. If I had not used this mod, my DVD drive would probably sound like a coffee grinder by now. It is also helpful for Vista users trying to install SH3 with the whole Starforce thing.

Rafael · 10-15-09, 05:56 PM

I bought my SH3 in Germany via Amazon.de (did not know about subsim.com), it was already patched and it don't need any NoCD. And no serial number either.

Simply install and it runs without the DVD.

Probably ubisoft has changed it ... maybe because it's a game from 2005 and I bought it in 2009?

Also quite strange ... I can make a copy from the original SH3 to a DVD-RW (or DVD-R) and it works the same as the original!

In that case, I always have a backup.
