The no cd crack (or whatever term/name you want to give it) has been common knowledge for years.

Most of us noob’s as you put it have a copy of SH3 that has no need of the No-CD or the 1.4 patch as the game came already upgraded so is there any point to this as it seems anyone with a copy that requires these fixes seems to already have them.
Although I have also seen SH4 in my local supermarket priced up at £5.99 so maybe SH3 might be a little harder to get now.

Your no noob...

But there is still lingering old copies out there.. Some time's second hand stuff. Depend where you find them.. I have the old original retail. I need the no dvd fix so it works in win7 64bit. SH3 works fine. Starforce blocks it. Unfortunately.. and Ubisoft doesn't want to make a no dvd patch, they don't care.

Its ok I don't need them to fix it anyhow.

Well I have had the disc in my puter for years now and yesterday I finally figured out where and how to "update". Now watch I will lose the disc now that its out of the puter.

We all have been using the no-cd exe and the other files for SH3 for some good reasons. Here's a noob howto:

a) To get rid of the Pain In the A$$ starforce drivers that seem to be incompatible with any version of mickeysoft windows I seem to install get a no-cd from any website. Try gamecpywrld.com

b) Make a useable iso backup of the SH3 DVD with Alcohol 120 and mount with deamon tools lite. (so you can keep the original DVD in the box forever) Don't worry about how long it takes and ignore the error messages that alcohol shows, the dvd image will work just fine.

c) Install the game using the image you just made yourself with alcohol.

d) patch your original game to 1.4

e) apply the no-dvd files. (they overwrite the old ones)

f) Keep our original SH3 DVD in mint condition (like mine is)

No need for the uninstall Starf**K drivers proggie anymore that didn't seem to work anyways.

g) make a picture of your original DVD and post it here

yepee.

I gave ms-kleaneasy fair warning that if she didn't get anything done with this, I would go ahead and post my thread back up at Ubi on November 1st (Which was a good 3 week notice). November 1st rolled around, and I kept my promise to her. I wasn't going to sit there and watch the German Uboisoft forums be the only one to "legally" discuss and distribute these files.

Here is my last PM from ms-kleaneasy :

I was very disappointed to receive the PT you recently sent. Due to working away I was only aware of the message today.

We have previously discussed the matter at great length and you had given you clear advice on how to handle the No CD crack issue. Despite this you chose to go over my head without allowing reasonable time for response and reposted the information which I had previously had to remove from the board.

Sadly this most recent incident has left us with no option but to remove you from the moderator team.

This is with immediate effect.

I must also stress this will now count as an official warning for posting No CD crack links and as such doing so again will without further notice result in a suspension on your account.

I am sad the situation has come to this but you gave us no choice.
