I think it's the protection together with daemon tools and my chipset which is causing this or it's just the protection with my chipset so i'm not gonna buy this game to watch an instantly bsod when i come home. I really hate this because i like the game so much Sad

And i tried all 3 cracks and fade is kicking in with all of them. ( unpatched, beta, final )


Shitty, doesn't happen here. Installed game, patched, replace exe, runs fine for hours n hours.


Yeah really shitty indeed ! How did you install the game. By entering zeros or not entering anything at the serial like i did ? Gonna try that method from @daz23eeek with the regs, maybe the patch fucked some things up tho passing the serial check. Also using mod files to be sure for the language and disabling bloom and blur.

Do you have to start all over again or can you use your old saves to avoid fade ? ( And of course i mean after fade has kicked in )

For anyone who has bought a legit key form OZCDKEY or other key sellers , and are having problems with Yasu or just want to pretend to be legal , you can convert your installation into a Digital Download version. You just need to put these files (taken from the DD version) into the Arma 2 directory -> http://rapidshare.com/files/242519845/Paul.zip.html (grab them here)
Run the .exe , provide the serial you purchased and the game will no longer require the Dvd.
I personally don't recomend doing this as this method has a three activations limit, I tried it cuz I heard that the FADE protection could also cap the max framerate but it was bullshit... By the way it's up to you.

p.s If you want go over there : http://my.opera.com/rejzor/blog/how-to-backup-your-securom-activation-data and download the Securom DRM Backup tool and follow the instructions.Very useful if you want to activate and want to avoid wasting the activations with stupid formats.

Hope it helps


Can you reupload those DD files?

How I installed; used the G049 key.. installed the 1.01 beta..(since it was already installed) Installed the 1.01 Final. Replaced exe with 1.01 craked .exe. When I tried to run the game I got invalid cd key, so I asked my friend what his key was, and it was different than mine in the registry, so I used his key and it worked. He then installed the game, and didn't have to bother with switching registry keys. Go figure. There ya have it, any other questions, I'll try to help Wink Installed no Fade as of yet, with the correct version number. ALso I mentioned my radio commands were fucked up before the patch, now it is not any longer. That kinda annoyed me.

Got my copy working with the final 1.01 patch using these instructions:

Quote:
1: Install game with cd key thats getting around.

2: Create a .reg file with notepad (or export one from the registry and edit it) with the following lines

Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2]
"MAIN"="C:\\Program files\\Bohemia Interactive\\ArmA 2"
"KEY"=hex:


Remember to change the full path to your ArmA 2 install folder since it may be different then the above one(which is the default install path) if not leave it, Now save and run the .reg file you just created.

3. Install the official 1.01 patch.

4. Edit the .reg file you used previously again. Now with the line that begins with "KEY"=hex: ,Add the following TO THE END OF THAT.

82,35,14,90,10,64,3e,02,4d,fc,49,0f,10,f5,b1

So. Now the line should look like "KEY"=hex:82,35,14,90,10,64,3e,02,4d,fc,49,0f,10,f5,b1

Save your .reg file and run it again. The cd-key is now reinstated after patching the game because the patch doesn't like that particular cd-key the actual game won't mind.

Once patched Copy the English Language fix files to there proper folders. (in the arma2 install folder)
Use YASU to hide DAEMON Tools and mount using the mini image.
PLAY Smile


This way worked fine for me, I tried using the NOCD crack but fade kicked in which caused my aim to be very inaccurate (couldnt hit a target which was only a couple meters away).

Forget using the official 1.01 patch and hoping for English, it screws everything up in Boot Camp.
All the commands are out of order.

Is anybody who isnt using the crack getting consistent frame rates with your semi-legit versions?

first mission for me runs @ 30-45 FPS nice and smooth
second mission 25 - 35 FPS
third mission through the town and getting captured = 22 - 26 FPS

then it's just gets worse from there on in hovering around 25 FPS if I do a crazy overclock on my CPU and GFX card

Same maps in the scenarios run at 30 - 40 FPS with just as much going on in them, I'm wondering of the performance drops are caused by fade.

No what I was saying is the main game runs like poo after a few missions even when there isnt alot going on, where as the various scenarios you can play in the armoury section run smoothly on the same map with just as much if not more stuff going on, it's really weird Confused

Holy shit, thats awesome to see, especialy the beginning with everything just dropping from the sky.

I don't understand how he lived that long though, as you can see how easy you die vs AI at the end there, they see you through grass etc.

i don't know how he managed to get it to run smoothly with that many AI.
as the more AI you have in the game = more intensive and more lag.

either he has an extremely good system or he overclocked his system to the max.

He would not be doing that in a main town area for sure, hes in open fields where the frames are just fine. There are problems with LOD/buildings/textures.. Im also wondering if that video has been sped up a fraction. Something doesnt just feel right watching it and I think the action is sped up if only a tad with an editor.

Running in window mode with window switch and in your arma cfg with winW winH windDefW windDefH helps alot again for performance with arma2 right now the way it is patch wise.

Can someone help old TB out please?

Game: Genesis version
Key: OCZD legit
Patch official 1.01

I install the game, patch to 1.01 copy over the English script files and get either:

1: all the characters up to their waists in cement and immovable
2: the radio messages fewked in Boot Camp.
3: Constant 'missing' script error messages.
4: NO REG ENTRY FOR BOHEMIA INTERACTIVE!

help!

Video card: GTX 280 [works 100% with every other thing]

The weirdest thing is that the original Genesis rls works fine just brotkne through FADE.
