Aoe3: No CD Crack

[Jake P.]

Here's the link to the crack I found for Tim. It could be useful for anyone who wants to play without a disc or doesn't have one on hand.

How to install the No CD Patch:

Here's how you do it... and this is the same with any game with no cd cracks.

1. Find the file that starts the game. Often times they are right in the main directory for that game. So, in this case you want to go to c:/program files/microsoft games/AoeIII

2. In that directory you should see the file aoe3x.exe. This is the file that will start the game. What you need to do is rename this file to aoe3x.exe.old. Click yes on the prompt. NEVER NEVER NEVER DELETE THIS FILE!! You only need to rename this file.

3. You need to open the file you downloaded that contains the crack. (You will need winRAR to open the file) Then click on the file aoe3x.exe and extract it to c:/program files/microsoft games/AoeIII. That should be it.

4. Run the game!

Note: You cannot get on to ESO with this crack running. And if you are playing LAN with the crack everybody you are playing with needs to be running the crack.

How to undo the crack:

This is pretty simple.

1. Go to c:/program files/microsoft games/AoeIII
2. Rename aoe3x.exe to aoe3x.exe.crack
3. Rename aoe3x.exe.old to aoe3x.exe
4. Run the game WITH THE CD!


So thats it enjoy!

Here's the link for the NO CD Crack for TAD. We will need it for the next few weeks until I get my disk. The same rules apply for using it, except you want to remove aoey.exe and replace it with the crack, not aoex.exe.
