Well i must say i found the fix for the Crash to desktop

Go to C/Documents and Setings/Your Username/Aplication Data/Ubisoft/anno1404/config/engine.ini

Search for the <DirectXVersion>0</DirectXVersion> and change it to <DirectXVersion>9</DirectXVersion>

That change just makes the game run in DX9 mode instead of DX10. No the best solution as DX10 is faster in this game.

another release ... anno 1404 by "wuselfaktor".
sounds like the crack works perfect. i read that rzr1911 used a "press release .exe" for cracking, so tagés seems uncracked for now.

glad to see a copyprotection that, hope so, finally works. Wink

Even if what you say is true (and I highly doubt that) there's Still.Life.2-CPY which is fully cracked.

From a German forum by a reliable knowledgable poster:

Quote:
Crack ist eine cleane Deutsche Exe, die Razor zur "verbesserten" Performance mit einem publik Virtual Machine Tool (vmprotect aus china) geschützt hat. Die exe an sich ist Virgin und hat Tages nie gesehen, geschweige denn solidshield. Somit seit Ihr sicher, dass hier auch keine Solid CRC unfixed geblieben sind denn wie gesagt ... exe hat die protection nie gesehen.

Kann man relativ einfach an den Größen der Sektionen im PE Editor sehen, wenn man Deutsche geschützte mit Deutscher Virgin vergleicht. Warum sie VM protecten versteh ich aber nicht, denn dies kostet nur unnütz ca. 10% performance.

Edit: Razor hat sich damit auch mal wieder in die Nesseln gesetzt. Die exe ist für ein Spielemagazin gewesen. Im Vergleich zum original sind einige Konstanten im Code verändert. Diese sind für jedes Spiele Magazin untersciedlich. Razor hat hier nicht mit der originalen Exe verglichen und diese Konstanten nicht zum Original gepatched.


In other words: Razor didn't crack it, they just found an unprotected version. And it's probably a beta exe.

dunno what all this german crap is about but the exe looks like the original file. they only protected the rebuilded vm stubs with vmprotect. afaik its the first group that could beat the new tages/solidshield protection.

Why did they protect the rebuilt code ? Confused

Also, that german quote is also saying that the file is from a review copy and that it's tagged ... who knows. Also, he's saying that there's a performance loss due to the virtualization.

Anyway, I hope those snippets aren't used too much during gameplay.

The best solution is a clean, nice, quick executable, so they partly failed. Don't know about that review-copy talking.

I guess the reliable source is nfos.de (best german nfo site IMHO), read the same there. If the unprotected exe from razor still has the unique press marks it could be very dangerous for razor´s source. So it´s good that anno 1404 is such a well made game because if nobody is able to crack tages in 1404, there will be no dox at all. this game of cat-and-mouse is going to be very exciting and entertaining Laughing I place my bets for the pirate boys Very Happy

Errhh no, actually it means the opposite. The press exe had never seen the protection.

basicly it says , its a exe that was meant for a review site (magazine, something) which never had tages or even solidshield in it. It also has some code changed in it (constants) which razor didnt bothered to change ... + they added a useless public vm tool tio protect exe, which costs like 10% performance for nothing.


so its playable , sure, but expect a proper sometime soon (not to mention it could be a lot buggier than original, depending on what build they used for the reviewers .. )

well if they optimized the game after demo build .. i dunno, i only translated what they said. And sounds logic that a exe wrapped in a vm runs slower than a "clean" exe, imho.

Patience paid off again. I was really tempted to try that UI disabling crack but decided against it.

a ubi guy told me that a russian guy stole the code for anno and that razor rebuilded the exe by using the source code. he also gave me that link http://blogs.reuters.com/commentaries/2009/07/05/a-goldman-trading-scandal/ this would explain the tags inside the exe from what he told me.

Is it like that with the legit version ?

Anyway, I find it really difficult to believe they got the source of the game and compiled it ! Haha, no way, man.

This whole discussion is nuts !!

Not for me, the game runs horrible here with Razors crack, the performance from the previous 'crack', apart from the Interface issues was much and much better here. I'm not sure why it's running so bad here.
