Cm4

[TNTIcemanTNT]

Hi guys, wandering if you could help me.
I downloaded the 250.75 MB ISO version of cm4 > ims-cm4.iso. I extracted it fine, it installed fine, and then when i initiate the crack for the game the screen goes black and nothing happens. Does anyone know about a solution for this etc., or do I need to download another version?
Thanks

OK, you have to copy and paste the crack into your installed directory, you cant run the crack off the cd, might have read your post wrong and if so sorry.

as for the filesize mine is 287meg but its a .bin so maybe the .iso is a little smaller, sounds to me like you have the real game though, just do what i suggested if you havnt already done that.

[TNTIcemanTNT]

Yep, I put the crack in the installed directory first time:(

[stoi]

Im not sure then, i know someone else who had this prob, they just uninstalled it and then reinstalled it at it worked np, but as yours is a smaller size im not sure if this will work, might be worth a try though.

Hope this helps

Hi stoi maybe you can help me out m8.
Ive a similer problem with the black screen.I dont normally d/l games although im a massive cm fan,hence ive d/loaded this.

Question is and its a stupid one to everyone else but me :rolleyes: is when you say "copy and paste the crack into your installed directory" do you mean make sure its in the same folder then run cm4.exe?If not could you tell me in idiots speech how i do this exactly.

You'll probably laugh at us asking this question but as i say i dont d/l games that ,much (btw its not because i dont like games it's because my gfx card cant handle them too well :( )

Hope you or anyone for that matter can help ;)

Cheers buddy,

bronco.

Ok, install the game as you normally would, then explore the cd, there should be a folder called "Crack", open that folder, right click on the .exe and select copy, now go to c:\program files\eidos interactive\cm4 make sure you see the original .exe then right click and select paste, it will then say the file already exist, do you want to overwrite it, select yes. and thats it done.

you still need the cd in the drive though or in your virtual drive to run it, you cant take it out even though it is a nocd crack, all it does is bypass the protection.

Also dont forget if you get the 4.03 patch you need the new 4.03 crack for it.

@ bronco, my pc is shite as well 650mhz 8meg g/card and this game struggles, so if your pc is anything like mine be prepared to wait a long time between matches.

@TNTicemanTNT, Pleased it worked for you, and it is just usually something simple that ppl have overlooked, ive done it before and felt like throwing my pc out the window, but asked on forums and when i got the answer it was DOH!!!! lol

@ bronco, r u doing this from a burnt cd or from an image on your hdd, using a virtual drive?

also you have to copy and paste, not cut and paste, because you cant cut anything of a cd, only copy it, i know this sounds self explanetary and if you havnt done this then sorry for even mentioning it.

other than that all i can suggest you do is get the .bin file either of kazaa (very risky for crc errors), emule, or someones FTP B)

good luck.

[bronco]

Ok ive got a bit further BUT still not working :rolleyes:

I converted the .bin to .ISO using WinIso and then loaded up Deamon tools,mounted it waited a moment then i thought WaHay!! i'd cracked it... only to be greeted with "wrong cd inserted" :wub: :wub:

Ah well i think i'll just buy it i'm getting a headache now ;) ;)

Thanks fellas for trying to help :) :)

YO STOI
wots ur version called and y do u have to burn the whole thing on to cd and install it again. also i got sum ims-cm4.bin, so how do i install this. BTW its about 294meg

[stoi]

kdv its called ims-cm4.bin and you dont have to burn it first if you have alcohol 120% or daemon tools, but some ppl prefer to burn first anyway to make extra space on their hdd, but you dont have to.

and my version is 287meg

hope this helps

this one works fine.........do forum search..........

[kdv]

OK
first i have downloaded the file ims-cm4.bin.

then i have put this file on to CD, doing nothing to it before hand.

i have not got any of the things like CDmage, or Nero, but i have easyCD creator.

i do not know what to do and i hope there is someone who can help me.

am i doing it right. wot next???

[omnix32]

you can download both programs from Kazaa.............

I am pretty sure easy cd creator is not going to get the job done......
do a search for cdmage or Nero.......

The first .bin i downloaded was corrupt and would not install properly. So i had to download it again. I converted the second one to an ISO using Winiso and burnt it with Nero and it works ok.

One problem i had the first time was that the shortcut would not work it kept saying can not locate CM4. Apparently this happens when you close the final window of the installation too soon. When you get the finished screen you should wait for a few seconds before closing the window.
