Rando_q1 (2011-04-29)

good new's no crack needed:P

Rando_q1 (2011-04-29)

can some1 confirm those changes or performance boost? was the info no crack needed right?????

Rando_q1 (2011-04-29)

shift2u.exe is still showing 1.0.0.0 badbad.... so some1 will make crack for us?

Raiyus13 (2011-04-30)

yup this patch actually modifies the sihft2u exe. so if you don't have the original exe installed it will not modify it.

Rando_q1 (2011-04-30)

yep i try'd that original exe patching and now im waiting for crack... hope it will be up soon... so ppl.. u need original shift2u.exe before patching the game... and if u patch it then u cant play before new crack installing....

Rando_q1 (2011-04-30)

still no crack:S:S if i remodified 1.0.0.0 exe to 1.0.1.0 will it work? but no boost on my system... where are u guy's reloaded, skidrow, flt and other crackers? help us out

Raiyus13 (2011-04-30)

This game has a solidshield 2.4 protection and hence it is very hard to crack, i tried it myself but was out of luck :P ...... codies c'mon

sapsafe (2011-05-02)

oh cmon, we need a crack

sapsafe (2011-05-02)

its out for few days now and still no crack? wow.

Rando_q1 (2011-05-02)

it's so fuck'd.... i have read in forums that this patch make's shift 2 like new game(better handling, no input lag, and crossfire/sli works perfect that's what i need with my 4870x2).... we need this crack :(

sapsafe (2011-05-03)

any news on the crack? We really need this crack, patch changes alot of things in the game. We cant use it properly witohut cracked 1.01 exe

Rando_q1 (2011-05-03)

no new's i have done some research vovan31337 and RELOADED made crack for shift 2. we can contact with vovan site like noDVD.net but its russian site and i cant handle it(im fool estonian=)... any1 knows how to connect with reloaded. maybe those guy's dont know that the patch is out....

4seed2u (2011-05-04)

Do not download the above link.This is a fake and trojan.Confirmed.

Rando_q1 (2011-05-04)

wtf 4seed2u???? i think u comment some wrong torrent moron!

randall_ranks (2011-05-04)

the reason there is no crack out yet is because u don't need one this patch is just a setting adjustment for better gameplay (and belive me they've done a bang up job) it does not touch the exe file the game works perfectly fine.

sapsafe (2011-05-04)

the reason why the patch didnt upgrade the exe for u is coz u didnt have ORIGINAL exe. Patch does update the exe, but only if u have the original one. So if u start the patched game with old exe u dont get all features of the patch, u still get some of them but not all. Also with old exe ppl get some wierd graphical bugs like black grass etc.

Rando_q1 (2011-05-04)

randall_ranks you are missing something... patch repleaces only original exe and upgrades it 1.0.1.0. atleast sapsafe got this fight:)

Rando_q1 (2011-05-04)

right* :D:D:D

randall_ranks (2011-05-04)

I haven't come across any bugs at the moment but ill keep an eye out for the crack, i really don't mind the wait now cause the patch has fixed a major part of the game (physics & Handling) and that's more than enough form me.

therapho (2011-05-05)

It will be great if vovan31337 or Reloaded, can do a new file for the updates 1.0.1.0 and the next just to come out, this next patch will add DLC support for PC version and another bunch of improvements.

warehouse_man (2011-05-06)

My game somethimes crash, and i cannot do anything only restart the computer, there any fix for this?

Raiyus13 (2011-05-07)

No cracks yet??? What the heck is going on??? Somebody do something!

Rando_q1 (2011-05-07)

yes still no crack.... maybe its too hard for crackers.... its hopeless... and that's the only game im going to buy if no crack will release.... i love racing game and nfs series and for me its best game on market...

Raiyus13 (2011-05-07)

Guess I need to scarifies the movie tickets and go buy a retail disc then....Shit what a mess....but ye I can play online then :P

stuck4ever (2011-05-07)

It's been almost 10 days and still no crack.

stuck4ever (2011-05-07)

But, I found this...don't know if it works, so can anyone with a nice internet connection tell us if this works ?

stuck4ever (2011-05-07)

Can anyone clarify if this works ?

warehouse_man (2011-05-07)

GuYS !!
This patch dont need a crack since , it dont mess with the exe. file, this is only for better handling. and this dont fixed the game crash. my game still crash after some races :(

Rando_q1 (2011-05-08)

@ warehouse_man this patch need's crack!!!! before patching the game u need to repaste your orginginal game exe with cracked exe 1.0.0.0 then if u patch the game u got version 1.0.1.0 exe and u cant run the game... some patch extras works with 1.0.0.0 exe too such as pakfiles(steering and psyhics). but no change crossfire/sli systems.... if we finaly got crack then i can enjoy my 4870x2.... so if u patch cracked game NO EXE UPGRADE WONT BE!!!!

kajosin (2011-05-08)

"some patch extras works with 1.0.0.0 exe too such as pakfiles(steering and psyhics)"
hmm input lag not fixed for me , with patch + 1.0 exe

Rando_q1 (2011-05-09)

im downloading now that patched repack... maybe it has that exe what we need.... atleast its allready patched.. sometimes like 21:00 (+2timezone) i will let u know is it worth downloading and what it contains...

stuck4ever (2011-05-10)

@Rando_q1
Much appreciated.
Let us know whether that worked or not :)

Rando_q1 (2011-05-10)

wasting time.... it's clean file but something is broken... if installer reach 97.6% then got ISDone.dll error and cant do nothing only pres ok and it will delete all what was installed. cant see exe nowhere... its the rest 2.4% installer maybe:D bad day......... feeling hopeless... installer contains 4 .bin files and autorun.inf and setup.exe..... it say's "repair the setup and try again"

stuck4ever (2011-05-10)

@Rando_q1
Did you try to extract the bin files using FreeArc and 7zip, because sometimes they are just renamed to a different extension ?

stuck4ever (2011-05-10)

@Rango_q1
So sad it's not working. Try this:
- Rename .bin to .iso and see if you can open those.
- Use MagicISO to open the bin files
- Also IZArc and ExtractNow claim to support .bin archives. Try them if none works.
Hope that solves :)
We are so in need of this Crack !

Rando_q1 (2011-05-10)

yep i opened those files and there is no 1.0.1.0 .exe only original 1.0.1.0 but no cracked one:S:S and patch is included with "1.01 repack...." fuck this shitpack!!!

Rando_q1 (2011-05-10)

was wasting my time with stupid parts downloading:S:S where's that crack OMFG!!! so hopeless

Raiyus13 (2011-05-10)

Can someone help me out with Olly, maybe we can crack this together.

sapsafe (2011-05-11)

i wonder why RELOADED or others didnt make the crack yet.

stuck4ever (2011-05-11)

@Rando_q1
How disappointing !
@sapsafe
I think we can now say that it's done, it's uncrackable (if that's a word)...if it could've been cracked, it would have been till now
Why oh Why, out of all the f*cking games, this one had to be it !!

Rando_q1 (2011-05-11)

thats the first game what im going to buy.

OKFMDOA (2011-05-11)

If it's that important to you why not just buy it? It was going for $18 at one point. There will be more sales.

Rando_q1 (2011-05-11)

OKFMDOA i just don't wanna buy games.... my 1 month incoming is near to 2000euros....

Quick420 (2011-05-11)

Rando_q1 TRY THIS CRACK IT WORKS FOR ME,Win7-64.I been watching you trying all different cracks and methods to get the cracked 1.0.1.0 exe.THIS IS IT!!!!! It patched correcly then I copied over the cracked exe and sli works with no flickering as well as everything else in the patch.

xa_fire (2011-05-12)

Glad i could help some people and it's not a real virus.
I have uploaded the file to these sites
*ediafire.com/?hm97yk8zybh97el
*ultiupload.com/2KBLBJCMFM
replace * with a M

stuck4ever (2011-05-12)

Even ESET picks it up a trojan....is it false positive ?

randall_ranks (2011-05-12)

My Thanks goes out to xa_fiire and for the creator of the crack. xa_fire if only you have uploaded a little earlier, that server is so extremely slow and to make matters worse i had to downloaded it twice cause kaspersky deleted the file after downloading...lol anyway every things just fine now I did a clean install, alot of bug fixes and graphical issues fixed the games even better now.

stuck4ever (2011-05-12)

@xa_fire
Thanks for the link dude, awesome find !
I can confirm that this works.
I can't comment on the input lag cuz I don't own a wheel.
But for me, I got a 20 fps boost with same settings with this new crack !!!
Graphical quality seems to be improved too.
No crashes or infinite loading.
BUT, if you have used any unlockers to unlock the limited edition events/cars, they won't work :(
Hope someone changes that too.

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

@stuck4ever pls upload crack here tpb... for me it says file is damaged and if download is completed then it shows 0bytes size.... ?

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

why crack is not up on torrent's site?:S:D i believe that crack works... but other dl.links say's that the source is broken (*egaupload)

stuck4ever (2011-05-13)

@Rango_q1
The links posted by xa_fire ware working fine for me
*ediafire.com/?hm97yk8zybh97el
*ultiupload.com/2KBLBJCMFM
replace * with a M

xa_fire (2011-05-13)

@Rando_q1 i just tried the m*ediafire link and it downloaded fine.
@stuck4ever nothing can be changed in the shift2u.exe to unlock the limited edition events/cars like the other .exe's.

stuck4ever (2011-05-13)

@xa_fire
Ohhh...so we can't unlock anything, then ?
Sad, I thought it would be fixed !

Raiyus13 (2011-05-13)

@stuck4ever & @xa_fire
the patch overwrites many files and it probably overwriting the modified files, So you need to install the mods over again, The HP & LE car unlockers work for me quite well.

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

links are working for me to... can download any shift2u_Crack_v1.01 but if download completes then it will goes to 0 byte size... and winrar says its emty file.... eset is turned off... all windows defenders is turned off

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

still cannot open the crack!!! whole crack installes for computer and i think ie and mozilla firefox download manager deletes it's because trojan(fake) inside files..... so some1 pls pls make trorrent file with utorrent and buti it up here.... it will take 5 mins max... pls guy's

xa_fire (2011-05-13)

@Raiyus13 the ALI213 crack has no editable text like the other cracks. here is a pic of the 1.0 exe

i also have a untouched 1.0.0.1 exe which has editable text.
details on how to unlock bonus stuff properly

if you don't mod the exe the porsche autobild wont stay in the game and the limited edition events wont unlock with out modding the exe.
@Rando_q1 not sure what's going wrong, your the only one having problems downloading it.

kajosin (2011-05-13)

Rando_q1 use other browser like ie or crome etc

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

chrome did it:) ie and firefox are to safe:D:D :P

kajosin (2011-05-13)

i try upload the crack to TPB

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

i uploaded it on TPB:)

stuck4ever (2011-05-13)

@xa_fire
Nice find for unlocking content.
It is weird why ALIs crack doesn't have editable text.
Oh, well. Patch 1.02 is coming up, we shall see then :P

Raiyus13 (2011-05-13)

Yup your right, (one of the best example is fraps not working with this crack). but with the modified BOOTPSA I can unlock the cars (don't know about the events).
Here's some pic (captured with a camera, as fraps won't work) :


proof of 1.01exe:

stuck4ever (2011-05-13)

@Raiyus13
Fraps is working fine for me, dude.
I tried every unlocker possible and only this unlocked everything:

The save game not the BOOTPSA
Sad some of those events were great.
ADHDerby says that the ALI's crack is encrypted and hence no bonus stuff :(

stuck4ever (2011-05-13)

I'm surprised that big names like Skidrow (who releases a game update every week) and Reloaded (who uploaded this game) are sitting silent on this !
What will happen when Patch #2 comes out, it will soon !

Rando_q1 (2011-05-13)

@ stuck4ever its only matter of time when some moder will release new POOTPSA:)
@Raiyus13 fraps working here:)

xa_fire (2011-05-14)

For some reason the autobild porsche wont stay in the game with out modding the shift2u.exe for me and i have tried with a fresh save. the rest of the cars are fine with the bootpsa.
Maybe reloaded is waiting for the dlc to release a crack.

stuck4ever (2011-05-14)

Actually, a new BOOTPSA file is not required, it's already available but we need an edited .exe (manatory) for the Limited Edition Content to unlock.
You may be right, Reloaded and others, they must be waiting for the DLC's or another patch, they can't be silent :P

Dhatz (2011-05-15)

I have to check if it fixes driving wheels not being animated sometimes.

robcob6 (2011-05-18)

anyone know how to apply the patch to tptb torrent of the game?

sputnikwood (2011-06-17)

seems like the ALI123 1.01 crack exe does not have the text/names (limited edition) of cars and events within the exe to be unlocked using a hex editor.
Whereas the 1.0.0 crack and official (EA) 1.0.1 patch exe has those text within the exe.
