UT2004 - NoCD Patch!

  • 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.

It's really not that hard to create your own no-cd patch as long as you downloaded and have the 2004 demo . You link the retail ver. to the Demo icon . (demo is obviously no-cd icon riggghhhhhhhhhttt??!! ) You just have to open your init. file :D :D

let me know who figures it out.......Quiz next week!!!!! :lol:

I think he means things like VirtualDrive or GameDrive (www.farstone.com). They require you copy an image of the CD/DVD to your hard drive, but they can compress that image.


Yeah im pretty sure gamedrive is what i saw thanks :)

But seriously, why do we need to waste hd space for that, they should just leave no cd off. My PC isnt a playstation, if the disc isnt needed then remove it. The cdkey is what matters.

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.

yea that would be a good idea for ut2k4
make a spawn install option that only allows for lan games without the need of a cd

ME=A$$HAT!
you were right.

I was working w/ BF that day and put .init instead of .ini ! Pardon a' me.
Anyway, i'm sure you can C/p from demo .ini to use w/ retail to start teh game w/ no-cd.

If you want to LAN with most games, you can remove the CD after the game is launched, this would be a pain in the ass if you are LANing with more than 5 or 10 people though.
