GameCopyWorld has no-cd hacks for just about every game out there. You only need to download one copy of the game that way.

gettin' piggy wit it

i got mine unrarred and installed and i started it up tuesday night...seemed to work fine.  didn't attempt any multiplaying though.

that beast was much bigger than expected, too...it was compressed to 2.x gb...and ended up being 6+ gb after decompressed.  then the crack/install took quick a while...but all looks good.  now i just need to play it.

I hesitate to suggest maybe actually PURCHASING the product instead of stealing?

and you hesitate for good reason.

and bryant: you won't be needing daemon tools for forged alliance after all...it runs without mounting an ISO to a virtual drive.  make sure after you unrar and run setup.bat...that you apply the new registry lines from the crack/readme folder.  also you'll want to ensure you're current with your directx version from MS, as well as the .NET framework (2.0).  i ran through those updates just to be safe, and everything seems to work so far; i'll run through a practice game just to make sure though.

Glad you're getting some hands on experience with the game. 

FYI - FA is $20 at Best Buy. (Happy Scott?  I'm encouraging him.  )

What a beast of a party this has become!    (Well, by PC Gaming Nerd standards  )

It appears that Forged Alliance (the add-on) is going to be the preferred game.  Therefore, if you don't have Forged Alliance yet, go get it.  It's available (for legitimate purchase) for $20 at Best Buy.

Not sure if this is available as an in-store price, or online only.  If you need to buy the game, do your homework and plan accordingly so you'll have it by the 26th!

i find that buying stuff really cuts into my budget, though.

now i just need to pick a faction, find a good strat for this...get my build order figured out, and i'm set.  sort of.

I installed it last night, but didn't update directx so I think that's why I was getting an error.  I'll have to give it a go later today since I brought the laptop to work.

I did manage a little WC3 action for a few hours. 

Oh yeah, Fry's has the FA for $20 in store, I think the Bestbuy price is online only.

i'll try out the FA after work and see that it plays solidly etc...and see if by chance i'm able to connect to internet games.  can't really test out the LAN, though...

i need to install the WCIII again, and frozen throne...  get some DOTA action going again...that stuff was so much fun.

I couldn't find my FT expansion so I just played old school skirmish WC3 against the bots

I have to do a lot of updates to my computer

Whee, FA works now on my comp, a few updates did the trick
