The question is...

Why both DTN and RLD releases hasn't been nuked yet for obvious reasons?

Both groups has released a non-working executable.

Something like:

Mass.Effect.PROPER-RELOADED.NUKE:protection.is.not.fully.cracked ?

Same to DTN release.

That compromised message seems to be random, or every Nth time the game is started. It's obvious that the game knows something fishy is going on, otherwise it wouldn't show up. The really annoying thing is that it will let you get 5-6 hours (depending on how fast you finish up @ citadel) into the game before "breaking". In the late 90'ies some protection company (I think codemasters used it) introduced a new kind of protection that wouldn't be obvious until you've played it for a while. The game progressively got more buggy until it was finally unplayable. I think that's what's going on here. What really pisses me off is that I can't buy the bloody game yet, it hasn't been released in Europe yet. (june 6th)

Maybe it stores something in the save file. I played the game on 32bit XP until I couldn't progress because of the blank galaxy issue. Since I also dual boot Vista 64bit I tried installing the game there and fired it up so it created the save directory and copied over my previous save. Then when I tried to boot the game in Vista for the 2nd time I got the compromised message. It does sound more and more like its another part of the protection.

He's talking about Operation Flashpoint and the infamous FADE protection that was added with a later patch. (the game also had safedisc for standard anti-disc-copying and anti-cracking)

Same with their later game Armed Assault (but with securom)

Someone figured out how to enable the console, might be useful albeit so far the only known command is "Give All". (Which does what it says, all items albeit low level ones.)

And here's how to do a manual install (And also change the cd-key.)

Yeah, also FADE was cracked successfully in about 1 week out and was causing more trouble to legit users instead, the only thing it "degraded" was weapon accuracy going all wild eventually. The rest is just a myth. And lots of bugs.

Here with Mass Effect, we obviously have half-baked crack so far, we just have to wait a bit, the Galaxy Map is not related to protections, it's just a nasty bug they let slip through in the build somehow.

Lets wait for the patch that should be coming in a week or so, until then i recommend just playing some of the other top bioware games. Very Happy We have Star Wars: KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's gate 1 & 2. Jade Empire isn't going on this list, it was fun and all but i like their other stuff better.

It seems that the galaxy map thing is related to the savegame issue. I had no problems with the map during my first session. But when i tried to run it again and loaded the autosave - the map doesn`t work. Can anyone confirm this? As in did you or did you not load the game at least once before the map issue appeared?

Broke down and bought it. Started a new game and installed using the detonation DVD, but using my legit cd key, and did not use the crack because it doesn't need it if you had a real cd key. Made it into the Citadel and can still use manual save / quick save, which when I was using the cracked verison I couldn't. So clearly there is something that was overlooked in the crack.

If a patch a or a new crack comes out the save's wont work.So don't get to far into the game.......coes youll have to start all over again from the beginning.If we can not access GalaxyMap atleast we can take a peek http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/13286 .From what i've read on the pages a few people seem 's to work the GM (like LEO).Maybe it's some kind of system optimization.If Galaxy Map workd on LEO's PC,then it's not nuked the crack.If it was nuked it shouln't be able to access the GM Leo.So the Problems may be (the Firewall,the graphic drivers,Operating System,Anti-virus..................or i don't fucking know............)I'l wait for MassEffect 2.................fuck it.This game blocks when it suppose to beginn the fun......If it was nuked or the cracks didn't worked......you cood imagiune vitality shod have'd throwd us a fine crack by now.I don't know what cood be the problem...........I THINK ITS A HOLE IN THE GAME AND TO MAKE THE GALAXY MAP WORK WE NEED TO FUCK THAT HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Reaction

I've tried anything short of a complete reinstall of Windows, and it's actually pretty obvious, i did 2 games:

1st game i take my time, halfway through the citadel quests you can no longer save, and when you progress to the galaxy map it's bugged.

2nd game i rush through the quests, and i get to novaria, saves doesn't work anymore and when i'm done, the galaxy map doesn't work either.

There's a problem here, and it certainly ain't connected to any hardware or software setup that i can think of, the only reasonable explanation is a crack that doesn't work.

The "Your Game Has been compromised", anyone exactly what that means yet? I have only played for roughly 30min-1 hour, and when I quit the game to change my sound, fires it up, got that message. Kind of an eerie message....

According to the localization it seems to be some kind of integrity check on the executable.

Hai noob !
There is online activation, not disc-check, so no clone can help, tsk tsk.

Not sure if it can be done elsewhere, but in the the citadel, you can work around the no save "bug" by using the mass transits terminal. Upon arriving at destination (After loading), the game create an auto-save point.

Using that feature allow to save at will, if unconventionally.

Something interesting...i put the game on windowed mode and ran windows task manager open with the network tab selected. Started the game up, and immediatly displayed network utilization.

Also going through menus will use display network utilization.

EDIT: Yeah, definatly something with the authentication, someone also needs to confirm and see if you can install the game more than one time.
