Agreed, but it only takes one crooked mind that will make a NoCD patch that will give away your CD key. I am well aware that not all that is found on the internet is bad, nor is it all good. As far as I'm concerned, I preffer not to risk it.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I always use NOCD Patches, unless I play a game that has punkbuster enabled and it detects the NOCD as cheating.
One game, is Raven Shield, if you have a NOCD patch, it detects it as cheating. Just something lame UBI is doing.

Obviously I'm going to go to someplace like gumkepiewerld and get the noCD patch.
It's extremely annoying when I've got to leave a disk in the drive for months because it's the only game I play. I'm sure it's not the healthiest thing for my comp either. :/

eh? ... why do you think? there were way too many cheating.. Punk Buster is good.Sir_Brizz said:
From the time the game is released, to the time Epic patches the check out, I don't think I"ll use my computer for much else. If I do, I got two drives, one for UT, and one for whatever else I may do when not on UT. Not like I watch DVDs in my DVD rom drive anywyas...

Exactly. I used to have an old CD drive installed just to hold the UT2k3 CD, and I use my DVD-ROM drive to hold BF1942 now. Seeing as how UT2004 > BF1942, I won't be having any problems.

What was sweet was on old blizzard games they would let you spawn on or two copies. It would be nice for UT to do something like that for LAN play, but break online function so only people at a LAN can play. Heck limit the player models and number of binds to inspire people to buy thier own. LANS sell games after all. It would probably be a programing nightmare though...just a random hungover thought...that would be sweet.

im going to have to get the nocd patch...i have two comps; i use one and my bro uses the other. we both want ut2k4, so i'll have to go find a nocd patch. i have to do it for most of my games.
i could careless about this whole cd stuff, once i get ut2k4 ill have no need to put a diffrent cd in the drive so it will just stay in there forever and wont collect dust, not even a spec!
Aye, punkbuster was a joke. I mean, a clientside download that checks you dir? How hard could it be for the cheaters to write a small app, that tells it to check a different directory that happens to have a clean install on it? Most third party cheat protections are an uphill battle. 's why I'm glad DrSin is on board now. He can just patch it in.
But he won't, you know.
A new cheat protection means an updated netcode, which means that everyone will have to get the new patch. The main reason they never fixed the cheat protection in UT2003 (which has been broken ages ago) was the netcode compatibility.

Do you still have the shards laying around somewhere? I wonder what it looks like now.Curve[UK] said:Not being very funny or anything but we got a dog the same time as ut2003 and then it ate my cds
By the way, if you're willing to cough up money (and you still care about 2k3), you can send them back to Atari for replacement.
