MR.Kim's Photo MR.Kim 01 Nov 2008

This is 3rd time release patch. It seems EA know who did try crack RA3. And, they're smater and smarter.

Hey everyone,

Our development team, customer support, and our mod squad are intensely reading and patrolling our boards and assessing all the issues being raised. We are looking in to them, attempting to re-pro, and see what are real technical Patch 1.02 issues, and which are being solved with helpful technical tips from you guys. We definitely appreciate that!

However, we are fully aware of various cracked versions out there right now.

We have confirmed that the cracked version of the game crashes on the following missions: Allied Mission 3, Empire of the Rising Sun Mission 3, and Soviet Mission 6.

We're also aware that the cracked version of the game contains an intro splash screen of a bikini-clad Soviet female character that is not in our game nor is this splash screen apart of our game.

None of the above issues are occurring in the retail version and none are issues that we can re-produce.

You will see some of our devs monitoring threads and asking questions to help users fix any specific issues, or acquire more info so we can assess.

Some of those devs are familiar faces:

EA_DevAmer
EA_Marquis
EA_Shadow

If you see one of them in a thread, please say hello and help us, help you.

Thanks,
APOC

Crack is already illegal, and now that [Bleep Bleep] is added by crackers.

I'd rather buy games than get cracked versions.

If you get crack version, your computer will be very mess up.

Sad thing is, there is no detail about patch 1.03.

Nor about 1.02. Its online calibration I'd say...

1.02 fixes long loading times for the main menu (something with aggresive patch-checking or so I've read)...

If I had the cracked version I would probably find that everything runs fine. I may even have told you how EA is just trying to scare you out of getting it. :)

This thread explains the details about 1.03 patch, apparently the patch fixes a server issue.

i assume that patch fixing singleplayer in cracked version is a virus then?

The EALA Engineers are doing some serious overtime.

I don't think they were prepared for the amount of strain that their servers would be under with everyone connecting - C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath's online also being affected.

Cracks aren't illegal at all, as long as you actually own the game itself. (Per example, I cracked my copy of Red Alert 3, and it wouldn't be illegal, as I have the proof that I bought the game. If someone would crack an illegally acquired copy of the game, then they would be trespassing the End User License which they agreed to AFAIK)

Does EULA matter if you acquire the game illegally in the first place? :D

Also, why did you crack ypur RA3? In my knowledge the biggest reason for a game crack is that you can play it without the game disc on, and this you can already do with uncracked RA3 can't you?

A possibility is that the DRM screwed you over, and need to crack it to play even though you paid for the game.

Was going to post it but I feared Wizard would remove it.

Don't think its that bad by the way, its how EA is advertising the game anyway.

EDIT: Now he has two to remove, muhhahahhahahha.

There's so much photoshopping on that picture I can't make out the real person under it. However this ain't a babe archive hence we're not supposed to be seeing this - plus i know far hotter girls :D

@ topic it's good to see EA working so hard on the game even if it is to stop piracy, which I'm neither for nor against - free world, do what you like etc, but follow the rules blah blah blah. Good support for the game so far - good to see them taking an actual interest in the game.

Now there are 3 and why would I remove it? It doesn't break rules?

You removed Two faces ugly side, and I'm sure people would agree the Ra3 cracked image is far worse. I don't mean any harm, so I will stop discussing this :D
