I have the retail game with the no-dvd crack, and trainer and it works great, the only thing i can think that the crack does on my computer is that the game frezzes, and i have to restart with the button but nothing else. I instaled it like usual and registerd the game, played a little before trainer was released because i live in Sweden and i got the game on friday and the trainer was not out yet. Read the tread about the trainer and that it would work BEST with crack so i downloded the crack and it worked great for me exept the frezzing but that is something i can live with. Hope this is to anyones help.
Well I that is because the DRM is kicking in. I have seen in NFOHump that SKIDROW (Who cracked this game) has released a crack fix for it, removing some DRM calls that caused problems.
So make sure you are using it. Also it says you have to block the game with firewall in order to play it as a cracked copy, so do so.

And yes, I don't get the idea on why all these developers want to risk their business by putting in more and more complicated protection to their games. It only forces us LEGIT buyers to turn into WAREZ copies.
UbiSoft should be reading this - They will certainly earn more if they remove their crappy DRM.
