Okay. So I have this copy of Arcanum, bought as a certain computer games mag's cover CD.
Now... on the box there is all the crap about "you must install our patch or ther game won't run". I checked, and found out it was true... then, as "their patch" was not the latest (1070, latest is 1074), I patched up to the newest version and "wrong disc inserted". In short, my reaction can be described as "WT*?"
Well, it came out that "their patch" also installed a NoCD crack and after applying appropriate NoCD everything worked again. This is quite suspicious in itself, by the way...
However, now I'm playing second time over and that I've heard of No-Level-Cap fixes, I've searched for them and cannot find one working with the No-CD treated version of the game. If anyone of you knows where I could get such a thing, please contact me via PM.
I am not able to buy a different version anywhere, since all the stores around that had copies of the game ran out of them just about the same time the issue of the aforementioned mag with the game appeared, and certain local laws prevent me from setting up a bank account and a credit card (to buy it at an online store), since I am under 18 (now, that won't be an issue in a little more then 5 months from now, but still)
PS. Everything I said is completely true, if you do not believe me, the proof is
here. There has been a lot of BM&W on the mag's forums about this fact recently, as you can see. With nobody from the mag's editoring team really caring to respond. All that came from them was "we are sorry for the trouble". Like if it solved anything.
