Okay, I've been burning copies of this game for folks. I can burn it okay using 1:1 copy with my Sony 40x USB2 drive. UT2003 use SecuROM protection which isnt too bad.

The problem (and you lan gamers should be aware), is that without cracking the UT2003 exe, even 1:1 burned copies of this game WONT play in a CD-Burner drive! 1:1 copies will play just fine in a non-burner drive however.

SecuRom actually checks the CD drive to see if its a burner, and accesses the functions to determine if the CD inserted is burnable or not (just like Nero knows). The result is that you cant play the cd cause the software knows its on a burned disk.

Im looking for a solution to either block software from recognizzing a burned disk in the cd-r drive, or cracking the UT2003 exe.

Of course...I already own the game. Maybe you should just buy it too :)

Mike, that looks like a No-CD patch.... will that help fix the problem of not being able to run the Setup from a cd-burner drive?

My bad...

I was under the impression from your description of the problem that you could run the set up from a burned disk, but that the burned CD would not work when you went to play the game (which would be solved by the no cd crack).

Oh well...sorry:(

how about this you load the whole game on your HD then compress it and then burn it to a cd and use the nocd crack?

How Myth :)

No, Pistol, that could definately work. Ill see if I can't get that to work. The only problem would be if UT integrates in to registry. Id need to figgure out how to copy reg files between copies as well.

Or, im thinking you could just download a copy off Kazaa, soemthing that Myth or someone else already ripped, compressed, and did all the work for.

Either way, im sick of trying :)
