Release Notes
Ok folks. This is really long, and we know most people don't have the
patience to read many paragraphs of information. So, we have divided our info
into 3 sections:
#1) A generic version of why we made the Crack Fix (good for End Users / Nukers)
#2) What results can be gained by using our Crack Fix (End Users)
#3) Finally, a nice long story afterward for those who care (Sceners / Crackers)
* TNT gives full permission to most groups, *except* the ones listed below, to
use our version 2.0 crack to create a MultiPlayer Crack and/or a Private
Server Patch:
These following groups are the ones absolutely NOT allowed to use our crack
for any releases:
01) TECHNiC (crack thieves, scene disrespectors)
02) SPiTFiRE (crack thieves, scene disrespectors)
03) RVL (we just never liked them)
04) BLeH (crack thieves)
05) XMA0D (crack thieves)
06) DWP/PARANOiA (crack thieves)
07) FNR aka Frontier (we believe they are XMA0D)
08) CSS (lol!)
09) ARN (you know why)
10) IND by any member, past or present, of those groups listed above.
11) Any newly formed group containing members/ex-members of the groups above
Why? cause they suck and steal and dishonour the scene as a whole. Please die!
Section #1
= For the masses, why did we do this?
It was widely experienced that the RELOADED crack had a problem with SavedGames.
Basically, Saved Games you made with the RLD crack can not be loaded because
the MainMenu "Continue" button will not exist, using any of the following:
1) Original Retail CDs and EXE
2) CloneCD with Retail EXE
3) v2.1 Cracked Update
4) v2.1 Original Update with Retail CDs or CloneCD
The RLD Save Games work only with the RLD crack, and they are considered to be
corrupt by other versions.
The TNT Fixed Crack will generate Saved Games that work under all four of the
conditions we listed above.
Unfortunately, if you are already playing with the RLD crack, then your Saved
Games are messed up and can not work with future patches nor with the Retail
CDs. This means a bad crack by RELOADED.
For more info about this, check:
http://garage.gaspowered.com/?q=node/972
We also QUOTE this Website down in Section #3 of our NFO file.
NOTE: The original game release is version 2.0
Section #2
= What is gained by using our Crack Fix =
Observe the following releases:
1) Dungeon.Siege.2-RELOADED
2) Dungeon.Siege.2.CD1.Clone-Carbon
3) Retail Store Bought "Dungeon Siege II" with valid CD Serial Key
* The ability to update to new Cracked versions or new Retail versions without
losing your Saved Games. -not possible with the RLD crack.
* A working SinglePlayer NoCD crack for Retail and CloneCD users.
The RLD crack could not be used for that purpose because if you already had
Saves from the Retail or Clone, they would not load using the RLD crack.
* Possible Internet/GameSpy MultiPlayer in the future, without a valid CD Key.
This is only possible with the TNT crack as a base to be used in a
Multiplayer and/or Private Server Patch.
With the RLD crack you will get an error when trying to join an Internet game:
"game has modified content" -basically saying your game data mismatches.
This prevents you from joining an Internet game even with a Retail CD Key.
- Due to the bad crack by RLD.
* A working MultiPlayer NoCD crack for people with valid CD Keys, but only
under the following circumstances:
a) The server HOST is using the TNT crack or similar working crack.
b) All players that wish to join are using the TNT crack or similar working 1.
c) All players and HOST have valid unique CD Keys.
- If you fail to meet any of these conditions, the game will get stuck at the
"established host connection" screen. (this is why we allow others to try
their luck at producing a multiplayer crack with our EXE)
* A version 2.0 working MultiPlayer NoCD crack with valid keys, and possibly
a future version 2.0 MultiPlayer crack without valid keys.
Why does this matter?
Well, the game works like this: You can only join servers that are on the
same version as you. And most people are still using 2.0 original version.
If you want access to all the servers, you will need to swap between 2.0 &
2.1 game version (just by swapping the Game EXE files).
* Possibly avoidance of other bad crack related issues. If Saves are
corrupted, then who knows what other adverse effect you may experience due
to the bad crack.
Issues with the Saved Games
They are not backward compatible, which means you can save the game with 2.1
and then downgrade to 2.0. The MainMenu "Continue" button will be missing.
This is the same issue with the Retail CDs and the original 2.1 EXE versus
the original 2.0 EXE. The 2.1 games will not load in 2.0.
So, in summary, you can upgrade to new versions and take your saves with you.
But you can not downgrade to earlier version.
This is by Game Design.
Section #3
= Detailed story for Sceners / Crackers =
Greets to group DEViANCE who deeply admires and is amazed by TNT.
We accept graciously accept the love and adoration you rightly feel for us.
Take care, friends.
Also, hi to RELOADED. They do Securom/Safedisc & StarForce-(if they really are
'cracking' them). Which is more than most other groups can do. We mean no
insult with this release, and just wanted a hopefully working crack.
Yes TNT cracked this all by our little selves.
We wanted to try creating a MultiPlayer crack. So, about 1 day after the DEV
2.1 crack, we decided to crack 2.1 ourselves, then try to make a MultiPlayer
crack. You can tell from the structures of our EXE that it is very different
than the DEV crack and also different than the RLD crack.
About the bad crack, check the site below (which we also quoted below):

GPG is the developer (Gas Powered Games)
Web Site QUOTE
GPG is aware of several hacked versions of DS2 being available. Please be aware
that savegame incompatibilities between the legitimate retail version and the
hacked versions will cause savegames to become invalidated as certain
compatibility checkpoints are passed, and as we update the game. Any issues
encountered with these hacked versions will be unpatchable and unresolvable
with any savegames the hacked versions create.
This isn't to say that the problems (Taar quest, Azunite Scholar, island
crystals) we're trying to resolve happen only to those with hacked EXE files,
merely that we want to alert folks to a future problem by using the hacked EXE:
We won't be able to help with any problem on a system with a hacked EXE. Nor
will any of our patches work with a hacked EXE. And since the hacked EXEs don't
create compatible saves, you won't be able to switch back to the normal EXE to
patch, and then load in the hacked savegames. If you are using a cracked EXE,
your savegames are already unrecoverable. Please stop now and restart with a
legitimate installed version of the game.
GPG wishes to support legitimate bugs encountered to the best of our ability.
If you know you are using a cracked version, the information you provide will
not be useful in our investigations, as you have a myriad of bugs all your own
to contend with.
-END QUOTE
Now, there's no guarantee that TNT has fully cracked this version to avoid what
was listed above without play testing the game for days on end.
However, what we do know is that our Save Games are loadable from the Retail
uncracked versions and from the DEV 2.1 cracked update, whereas the RLD Saves
were not.
Take it or leave. It's up to you.
Installation
1. Always make a backup copy of your game executable(s) first, because
future update patches may require the original file(s):
DungeonSiege2.exe
2. UnRAR the archive to your game directory, overwriting any existing files.
Always unRAR with full paths!
3. If you are starting out fresh without any SinglePlayer Saves or if you have
saves only created by the Retail or CloneCD release, then just run the game
and enjoy.
No need to read any futher, so go away.
4. However, if you already created SavedGames using the RLD crack.
a) They are already corrupted and can not work with an updated version.
b) If you are already deep into the game, you may as well stick with the RLD
crack.
c) If you wish get good Saves (which will continue to work if you BUY the
game or if you update to a new cracked version), then you will need to
start over thus losing your current game.
5. To start over, use our crack and make a new Single Player game.
Be aware your old "corrupt" saves will still be there and it is a good idea
to back them up and then delete them:
"My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2\Save\SinglePlayer\*"
"My Documents" is usually in "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>"
6. Also, if you want to mess around testing our crack versus retail or try
to fix your corrupt games or you want more than one SavedGame, check this:
"My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2\DungeonSiege2.ini"
In that file, you will find a setting:
sp_last_saved_party = XXX
XXX is the name of your party (first character you created).
You can change "XXX" there to the name of one of your party directories in:
"My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2\Save\SinglePlayer"
This will allow you to load the Saved Game of that Character and his or her
party using the "Continue" button at the Main Menu.
TNT News
We are the REAL original TNT. Any other groups who have tried to front as
TNT over the years were just imposters.
TNT knows that you all love the original SFV data in our NFO files.
Too many "new" sites, using cookie-cutter scripts and that god-awful
zipscript-c (aka project-zs), ruin all the nice SFV files in the scene!
TNT Members
You know who we are. And we know who you are.

Joining TNT
TNT works in all languages.
We seek like-minded individuals who are able to provide or create software in
any language for release into the scene.
Like most 'respectable' groups, TNT is non-profit.
We release for the challenge of reverse engineering, the excitement of the
race to win against other groups, and the spirit of fair competition.
Positions are open for the following.
Crackers : Experienced programmers and debuggers with assembly language
knowledge who can produce Cracks, such as NoCDs & the removal of
commercial protections, for games and applications.
Coders : Experienced programmers who can produce KeyMakers, Game Trainers,
or SavedGame file editors. (Assembly or C language is required)
Game Ripper: Create ripped versions of full games. Rips retain game
functionality while having non-essential data (such as movies or
music) stripped out. People, especially those on slower dial-up
connections, can try out a game rip before deciding to buy the
full version.
Scanning : Printed Box Art, CDs, & Manuals for new games and applications.
FileHacker : Create All Access Enabled (Unlocked) SavedGames.
Modify game data files to enable Cheated Stats.
Scan game executables to locate Cheat Codes (no web thieves).
Suppliers : Provide retail versions of new unreleased software, either games
or applications.
Siteops : 10mbit or faster sites on linux/unix with at least 100gigs space.
Preference is for sites with sections of 0day, iso, dox, pda,
or console exclusively.
Before contacting us, please consider that Movie/Video or MP3
sections are not desirable to us. Big movie/mp3 sites that have
iso, 0day, or dox as an afterthought are not for TNT. Sorry.
What TNT does not need:
Couriers, Pre Whores, Site/Bot Scripters, Thieves, Group Hoppers, Leechers,
Narqs, Narcs, nor undercover agents.
Contact TNT
Those who seek TNT will find a way to get in touch with us.
Just ask around for the #1 Dox group.
TNT has no email address, nor a web site. Any you find are surely fake.
