The crack dont work. I Think this not Leopard compatible.

3.Posted by olympi on Feb 01 2008 at 13:53

i cannot get this to work..
either im just being stupid but i mount the .cdr and cannot see how to install?

I'm getting some errors from the cracks. In order to get the cracks to run at all (as opposed to crashing the moment they launch), I had to run them in rosetta mode. They still gave errors, though, saying that the file was successfully patched, but a handful of files that should have been modified were not. After that, the game still won't launch without the original dvd.

I suspect that it is Leopard incompatible. Has anyone gotten it to work under 10.5?

B. Update iPatcher executable:

1. Install the update
2. Mount the crack image and copy the crack executable to your mac (desktop for instance) so it can be modified
3. Right-click it and select "Show Package Content"
4. Locate "Contents/MacOS/iPatcher" (208 KB) and replace it with the one from the one you found in the latest version of iPatch

erm

the command in step 3 above is wrong ^^

should have read:

sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx

11.Posted by ethien on Feb 05 2008 at 15:04

oh and one last thing

note however that you will not be able to play the normal Civ4, but just the Warlords version.

i've had so much problems with this, god. its driving me absolutely insane. i wish someone could just do it for me or there was an easier way to do it. first i mount and install CIV IV, then i mount and install the cracks, then i install and mount warlords, then i install and mount the crack for warlord. i did the whole 3 step thing ethien posted but god help me it just won't work!!!

i did that all and this is what it came up with:

Error

/Civilization IV/Warlords/Civilization IV Warlords.app/Contents/MacOS
/Civilization IV/Warlords/Civilization IV Warlords.app/Contents/MacOS/Civilization IV Warlords



please help!

I installed the whole thing on my computer and it works perfectly!!

Here is the EXACT way I did it (I know the procedure seems complicated, but remember that I put A LOT of details here, and normally, by following everything I say, it can only work).

1 - Using the application Toast, mount the "CIV IV.cdr" file : in Toast, chose the "Copy" thumbnail and drag the "CIV IV.cdr" file into the main window. Then, select "Mount". A disk image will appear on your deasktop (just as if you had inserted a CD in your computer)

Use that mounted disk image to install the application simply by double-clicking on the image (which will open a new window) and dragging the "Civilization IV" folder in your Application folder. Once that is done, eject the image file and close Toast.

17.Posted by kimouette on Feb 09 2008 at 13:40

3 - Double-click on "Civilization IV Warlords.dmg", it will open a new window from which all you have to do is to double click on "Installer Civilization IV Warlords", follow the simple instructions, and once complete, eject that window.

4 - Finally, double-click on "Civ4.Warlords.Crack.dmg", it will open a new window. Double-click on the "Civilization IV Warlords" logo. Again, this is a patch, so you know what to do. BUT THIS TIME, instead of selecting the the "Civilization IV" application, chose the alias that appears right under this appplication, which is "Civilization IV Warlords". That way, you will apply the patch to the latest version we have installed.

Now go to your application folders and double click on "Civilization IV Warlords" and Enjoy!
THATS IT!

(SEE PREVIOUS TWO MESSAGES TO GET THE WHOLE PROCEDURE!!)

Ok, I'm running with 10.3.9 and when I try to do any of the patching, it says "You can't apply the Patch on this File !". I looked over at TPB and tried some of their ideas with no success (and saw another 10.3 person with the same problem). Is this probably an unsolvable 10.3 issue?

21.Posted by natawate on Feb 21 2008 at 12:56

sorry guys i have to say this. I have no idea how to install the whole thing.

it would be nice if someone help. thanks alot

23.Posted by natawate on Feb 28 2008 at 03:53

sorry people. now i have this problem which is driving me crazy. i cant seem to find the Civilization IV Warlords. not the crack one. i tried reinstalling the whole thing again but the file seems missing. plus the warlords folder. its missing too. help thanks

29.Posted by kimouette on Mar 02 2008 at 20:06

If you installed the applications correctly, here is where you should find the application :

"Application" folder / "Civilization IV" folder / "Civilization IV Warlords" allias (just have to click on that allias to open the game)

31.Posted by natawate on Mar 03 2008 at 10:10

im running on Mac OS 10.5.2

and guess wat i still cant find the warlords thingy. it was there during my first few attempts of installing the game but now it seems to be gone after i tried over n over again. might there be an error or sth?

plus i wanna ask, if i opened terminal and typed sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx and didnt copy paste my contents folder will anything happen? and must i open the one in e folder or just from the utilities?

33.Posted by natawate on Mar 03 2008 at 17:58

hi kim,

thanks for trying to help me. appreciate it alot.

ill just explain my problems here n wait for a solution i guess.

-firstly i installed 'CIV_iv.cdr' and the 'Civilization IV' will appear. So i coped the whole thing into my app.

-then installed the updates followed by the 'Civilization IV Warlords.dmg' and the 'Civ4.Warlords.Crack.dmg' but somehow the Civilization IV Warlords doesnt appear in my app>>civilization IV. Theres no warlord folder what so ever.

-i did the permissions by opening up terminal and typed what ever i read frm e posts by ethien.

so may i ask what exactly might be the problem?

35.Posted by natawate on Mar 05 2008 at 18:59

okay guys. ive got great news. i dont know how i managed to do it, but i did it. ITS FINALLY WORKING!! haha. im so delighted. thanks for all e help guys, especially kim

btw im using macbook black 10.5.2 leopard.

ARGH FINALLY! haha

37.Posted by natawate on Mar 09 2008 at 02:37

since ethien says that only the warlords version can be played on leopard. i advise u to just apply patch on the warlords crack. make sure uve done all the permissions thingy.

ill try to help u aite.

I am not even getting at the warlords crack, i get stuck at the first crack for update 1, been trying to get this game working for a long time now, maybe time to give up

53.Posted by tomartin on Mar 27 2008 at 02:15

This is pi$$ing me off. I tried both methods, but run into different issues with both.
I'm running 10.5.2
With ethien:
I get everything installed, but can't replace the old ipatch file with the new one on the crack

With Kim, I can't even get even get the Civ4.v1.61Beta[9022]UBCrack.dmg open, it just shuts down automatically.

Suggestions?

55.Posted by kimouette on Mar 27 2008 at 16:08

(post 1 of 4)

This is just terrible! Someone will have to pay me before I update from 10.4 to Leopard! There is just too much security in this new environment (which is definately not a good thing for people like us!)

Ok so to TRY to help you guys, I read all the posts here and also in other torrent's sites and just compiled all the corrections so you can get the best possible procedure.

Since you did read Ethien's method, and still cant complete the installation let me take a guess... Your permissions are still blocked! Thanks again to Leopard!
Try this ....

57.Posted by kimouette on Mar 27 2008 at 16:08

(post 3 of 4)

1. Right-click on the Civ4 (or Civ4 Warlords) executable, select "Show Package Content", you see a "Contents" folder?2. Open Terminal?3. type (without inverted commas): 'sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx ' (note the space after rwx) and then drag the "Contents" folder to the Terminal window.?4. Press Enter and the Terminal asks you for your admin password.?5. If you don't get any error message, run the crack.
**Make sure you are changing the permissions correctly in root (ie in the Terminal, not through the Info window).**

59.Posted by MOKMAC on Mar 27 2008 at 20:08

Same msg when i try to apply the crack on update 1
to bad

61.Posted by tomartin on Mar 28 2008 at 03:40

HOWEVER, now I get to the cracks.
I throw Contents folder into Terminal after typing that code, and nothing happens, I get:
chmod: /Volumes/Civ4.v1.61(9565)UBCrack/Civilization IV 1.61 NoCPU & NoDVD.app/Contents: Read-only file system
chmod: /Volumes/Civ4.v1.61(9565)UBCrack/Civilization IV 1.61 NoCPU & NoDVD.app/Contents/Info.plist: Read-only file system
chmod: /Volumes/Civ4.v1.61(9565)UBCrack/Civilization IV 1.61 NoCPU & NoDVD.app/Contents/MacOS: Read-only file system
chmod: /Volumes/Civ4.v1.61(9565)UBCrack/Civilization IV 1.61 NoCPU & NoDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iPatcher: Read-only file system
etc.
Tried doing the terminal thing with the Civ 4 app, and got nothing. What am I doing wrong?

63.Posted by kimouette on Mar 28 2008 at 06:39

First make sure you are logged in as an administrator, and since the system seems to block you for everything related to "Content", try this :

I AM CORRECTING MY MISTAKE HERE!!
Go to your application folder, open "Civilization IV" folder, select the "Civilization IV" application, right click, "show package content". In the window that opens, right-click on the folder "Contents", and select "Get Info". Now click on the pad lock on the very bottom right corner, enter password, then change ALL privilege to "read & write" (you, the owner, and groups).

MOKMAC, if you do this, and go back to the patch, do you get the exact SAME error message ?

65.Posted by MOKMAC on Mar 28 2008 at 20:30

Whoeya! Found out what was going wrong!!

I had to set the premission manually to al the files of the error msg!
I think the automatic terminal thing isnt going like it should. So after update 1 you have to put the premission on read and write to all users. You have to do this with these files >>

67.Posted by tomartin on Mar 29 2008 at 04:08

Okay guys, you're talking about 2 different things there.
Kim, I already DID post 6 and 7, but it won't let me update the ipatch file, keeps telling me "Mac OS cannot be modified"
I then changed the permissions of the Civ IV folder, and Civ IV app and Warlords app.
Then I mounted the Civ IV crack, tried to run it, and nothing happened.
I then opened package contents to try and change permissions of the CRACK, but again, got nothing, it won't let me "change ownership of this volume"

69.Posted by kimouette on Mar 29 2008 at 06:32

tomartin

Are you sure you did'nt skip the part in post 7 where it says "2. Mount the crack image and copy the crack executable to your mac (desktop for instance) so it can be modified" ?
If you cant replacer ipatcher (step 4 in post 7) I doubt you'll be able to get any further.
Make sure you are logged in as the administrator of your computer!

And what do you mean exactly when you say : "I then opened package contents to try and change permissions of the CRACK, but again, got nothing, it won't let me "change ownership of this volume"

What message are you receiving ?

71.Posted by crazylegs87 on Mar 30 2008 at 11:25

I got it to mount through Toast by updating my version of toast, but even when mounted that way, it still says "please insert original disc."

73.Posted by kimouette on Mar 31 2008 at 07:01

crazylegs87, I believe you're trying to run the game directly from the mounted disk, this is not the way to install the game!

If you're using Mac Os 10.4, just go back to posts 15, 16 and 17 and follow these instruction word by word!

If you're using Mac Os 10.5, you better wait for tomartin's instructions...

75.Posted by afonso3d on Apr 01 2008 at 06:50

AAAAAAAAAH!

I did it!

Well... to Leopard user:

Follow the steps in intructios.rtf and after that, follow the posts 6, 7 and 8. Dont forget to run all the updates.

In the post 7, only the Warlord crack will work.

After the steps on post 8, try to understand that u have to find, after run the crack, the executable. Just it!



(for dummies, like me, hehehe)

77.Posted by Luke_007 on Apr 14 2008 at 21:24

Please help i have tried everything and i am at wits end here i have done steps 5,6,7 and the crack says can't patch resources, mac osx, civ iv warlords

thanks if anyone can help!

79.Posted by Lucroth on Apr 16 2008 at 17:01

This download probably works fine, but I'd suggest not downloading it, and downloading Civilization 3 Complete instead.
Civilization IV looks nicer, but Civilization 3 was a better game.

81.Posted by kimouette on Apr 19 2008 at 18:15

If you are working with Mac Os 10.5 (Leopard) here is a from someone here who finally installed the game :


First, just follow the steps in "intruction.rtf"

Then, follow the posts 6, 7 and 8. Dont forget to run all the updates.

In post 7, only the Warlord crack will work.

In post 8, (step 3), a correction has to be made... what you gave to type is: sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx


If you are working with Mac Os 10.4 simply follow posts 15, 16 and 17

83.Posted by kimouette on Apr 20 2008 at 20:46

theonecabby,

Natawate (post 34), was telling us she was getting the exact same message.

Unfortunately she doesn't clearly explain how she managed to install the game, but here is the last post she wrote (maybe it will help you) :

"Since ethien says that only the warlords version can be played on leopard. i advise u to just apply patch on the warlords crack. make sure uve done all the permissions thingy."

85.Posted by kimouette on Apr 26 2008 at 08:30

Hi Aedan,

1. First, make sure you are logged in as the administrator of your computer
2. Then, make sure the entire content of your CIV folder is not "locked" :

Right-click and "Get Info" on the Civilization IV directory (which should be in your application folder). Open the bottom tab (Ownership & Permissions). If necessary, click the lock icon in front of "Details" and change the Privilege entry for each group (You, owner, group and others) to "Read & Write". If prompted, enter the name and password of the administrator user of your computer.

REALLY IMPORTANT before closing this window, click "Apply to enclosed items"

This should resolve any permissions issues.

After that try again to run the patch and dont forget to choose the right application (in your case, for the first patch in "Update 1" you should "link the patch to" Application/Civilization IV folder/Civilization IV logo

87.Posted by Aedan on Apr 28 2008 at 22:27

It thinks for about 15 seconds, and then gives me that error message. To be sure, I have double-checked my permissions, and all are set to READ & WRITE - admin through guests.

Again, the game seems to be installing fine. The first update is installing fine ("Civilization IV Installer" - "Update 1" - "Civ IV updates", but I cannot seem to get past that.

Any ideas?

And thanks so much for the help, kimouette. Much appreciated, my friend!

-A =]

89.Posted by Aedan on Apr 29 2008 at 20:47

Ok, I did the permissions procedure again on all files - hidden and visible - after re-installing. However, I am getting the same error message:

"Can't apply crack on this file !"

I am almost 100% sure that this is, in fact, the correct file (The Civ IV logo - "Civ IV.app", just because this is the only file that it "thinks" on for more than a half-second. However, as soon as a progress bar appears within the crack window, I then get the error message. I can't even get as far as the message asking if it can edit the selected file...

I have set all files to READ & WRITE - both hidden and visible.

I'M GOING CRAZY!!!!

-A =]

91.Posted by kimouette on May 01 2008 at 11:31

Hi again Aedan,

I found other people (in different forums) having the exact same error message.

Some of them claim that it worked by manually changing permission for almost each damn file located in the hidden "Contents" folder (see next message to get a copy of that manual procedure). To me, that seems weird cuz normally by clicking "Apply to enclosed items" it should do the EXACT same thing! But I dont know, maybe you should give it a try.

Other people are saying that skipping the problem by simply following the rest of the procedure allows them to play with the Warlord version. In other words, they did'nt get that "Can't apply crack on this file !" error message when applying the other patches.

I dont know if one of these alternatives will work. But just thought you might wanna try these!

Good Luck!

Kim

93.Posted by Aedan on May 01 2008 at 19:35

UPDATE:
Ok, I un-installed the game again and attempted a re-install on the off-chance that it'd work. As I was getting ready to install, I remembered that I had the Civ IV demo installed from long ago.

Long story short, I un-installed that, then re-installed the full ver. - and volia! It's now applying the cracks properly. My best guess, is that the crack was somehow crossing some of the resources from the demo (which were not touched - as far as permissions go). Hence, the error, "Can't apply crack on this file !".

95.Posted by kimouette on May 02 2008 at 09:56

Hey Aedan,

If you already tried what I'm about to tell you, then there's really nothing I can do to help!

So Last chance ....

Make sure you're not trying to run the game directly from the mounted disk, but from the image created by Toast.

So, mount "CIV IV.cdr" with Toast and close Toast : the image should appear on your desktop. Double-click on the image (which will open a new window) and drag the "Civilization IV" folder in your Application folder, and follow the rest of the procedure in post 16.

If that's exactly what you already did, try to leave the image on your desktop while launching the game instead of immediately eject it.

If this doesn't work, then I'm affraid you'll have to play with Warlords and forget about Civ IV ! Unless a generous soul here had the same problem and solved it!

Good luck!

Kim

97.Posted by kimouette on May 02 2008 at 23:15

a little update:

so, i installed the game and the updates and cracks with the ethien way, because i'm running leopard. the only error message i get BEFORE trying to start either one of the game versions, is the 'can't apply the patch to this file' with the crack 'civilization iv nodvd & nocpu'. both of the other patches work fine. this is as of yet an unsolved problem, so i turn to you guys.

THEN, when i try to start either one of the game versions, they suddenly start and i get the aspyr greeting and suggestion to register. i click 'skip' and this message comes up with civ iv:

fatal error

failed initializing python

and these messages come up with warlords:

xml load error

failed loading xml file xml/gaminfo/civ4playeroptioninfos.xml

xml load error

loadxml call failed for gameinfo/civ4playeroptioninfos.xml

current xml file is:

what should i do to solve these problems?

101.Posted by Majuri on May 04 2008 at 19:01

update:

all the patches and cracks work, all the permissions are correct, installations have been done in correct order and following instructions

this time, when i try to launch civ iv it asks for the original dvd

the error messages are the same when i try to launch warlords

103.Posted by SeijiBrazil on May 05 2008 at 02:03

Hello, I'm running at OS 10.5.2 and finally made it!

1- install the game (I didn't use the Toast, just double-clicked on archive "civ_iv.cvr"
2- install the first update ("Civilization IV Installer.app"at folder "Update 1"
3- install the Crack "Civ4.v1.61Beta[9022]UBCrack" in the Civ iV folder that u installed the game
4- Open the Terminal and run "sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx path_to_your_civ_folder"
5- Before running the crack, u need to replace de iPatcher archive with the new iPatcher (see my next post)
6- Run the crack and enjoy the game!

Do the same thing for the updade 2 and warlord

105.Posted by SeijiBrazil on May 05 2008 at 02:35

aaah, sorry. when i installed Warlord, civ iv stoped to work... ****.

107.Posted by Majuri on May 05 2008 at 21:02

same error messages no matter what i try. if something in the middle goes wrong, i get the 'can't apply patch to this file' and civ iv askes for original disk and the warlords error messages stay the same. if everything goes as described here, the civ iv complains about the python and the warlords gove me the same error messages again...haven't tried the toast approach, but it seems that that works only with os older than my 10.5.2 leopard. i tried the ethien way and the seijibrazil way, neither works for me...i'm gettin sick of trying, i'll buy the god damn game and beat up a squirrel for the pain of losing *****...

109.Posted by kimouette on May 06 2008 at 15:06

Poor squirrel
Dont do that, use someone in your family instead.

Ok I know I installed to whole thing easily probably because I'm running Mac Os 10.4, but Majuri, may I suggest you read the post written by :

"Andyr005 at 2008-04-20 21:05"

it's right here :

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3872926/Civilization_IV_for_MAC__universal

And if it doesn't work, keep on reading the advises on this forum it's basically the same torrent and a lot of Tiger users finally managed to install the game.

So give it a try and good luck!

Dont forget to leave the squirrel alone it's the Tiger's fault (and good luck for beatting him up!

Kim

111.Posted by kimouette on May 06 2008 at 23:19

Majuri,

First of all, yes, I meant Leopard! Tigers are innocent!

No matter what you are about to try, here's a tip : YOU MUST UNINSTALL CIVILIZATION COMPLETELY before attempting ANYTHING.

I read on different forums that this specific error can occur with a lot of different games (even with original, 100% legal games) and miraculously uninstalling and reinstalling them works in 50% of the cases.

Otherwise, even though this post is not about the exact same version of Civilization, you might wanna read this :

http://forum.mininova.org/index.php?s=f08db8d70a718de72fbcabf8a14ba2b6&showtopic=234997975&st=0&p=289429&#entry289429

I have no idea if this solution can be applied to Warlords... just thought it might help.

If you are really motivated and have a lot of time to spare, go ahead and backup everything on your computer and reinstall Leopard... but personally I would install Tiger

Your explination up to the RUN TERMINAL part was great. I have no idea how to break down these files, but it really comes down to me being absolutely new to a mac. Please, if you could, help a long time contributor and new mac user understand what I must do. The line that you wrote:

Replace "/Contents/MacOS/iPatcher" in the 1.61 and Warlords cracks with the
"/Contents/Resources/iPatcher/Contents/MacOS/iPatcher" from the current iPatch application from www.ipatch.org

I am having trouble getting it. I have Ipatch, but I am lost to that point. God how different the architecture of a mac and pc are.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Answer to wafflest0mp (message 2 of 3 )

Now back to the cracks....

- Double click on the crack called "Civ4.v1.61(9565)UBCrack.dmg" : it opens a new window
- Drag and drop the crack (which is the icon) on your desktop
- Rick click on that crack and select "Show Package Content"
- Now go to Contents, then MacOS to finaly get to the ipatcher file we want to replace
- Keep that window open and go back to your desktop where we left the latest version of ipatcher
- Right click on it, select "Copy ipatcher"
- Go back to the window we left open, right click somewhere in it and select "Paste" (a window sayying that the file already exists will show up, that's fine, just click on "REPLACE"

I'm in 10.5.3

Hi all, i have tried several ways to install this wonderfull game. Though i am quiet sure i have done all necessary, the warlords.dmg just doesn't work. When i try to open it, i get an error message saying this copy can't be activated, there are no 'filesystem' to activate (sorry i am just very stupid and new with iMac. I use the iMac in Dutch language, so i tyried to translate the error

Is it somehow possible to just run the normal game?

Regards,
Jeroen

eldavuio,


Try doing what I suggested to Jaruh, but for the Civilization IV.dmg :


- Go to your "application" folder / "Utilities" folder

- Open the application called "Disk utility"

- Drag and drop the Civilization IV.dmg into the left pannel of Disk utility

- Select it by simply clicking on it

- By default you should be under the tab "S.O.S", if not, click on it

- Click on "Verify disk" that figures on the bottom right of this window

- If there's any error, correct it by clicking on "Repair disk"

- If everything seems fine, maybe you could try downloading the whole game from the torrent again, so from the beginning, to make sure that an error didn't occure during the download

n0n4m3azuma,

Dont try to drop the application on the crack. Instead, use the button in the crack to reach the application where you have put it.

Hi kimouette,

thanks for putting out a hand!

I have troubles with entering the "sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx [/Civilization\ IV]" command. After mounting and installing everything, I opened the Civilization IV icon that I installed on my hard drive, by clicking, 'show package content'. Then I double click on "contents", after that on "Mac OS" and then I get to the Civilization IV terminal. I open it, and the computer says: "Please insert disk". I ignore that and I enter "sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx" followed by dragging the complete Civilization IV folder into the terminal. Then I press enter and nothing happens. When I close the window, it says "do you want to shut down all your active processes?". So I do

I probably did a couple of steps wrong here. The posts 122, 123 and 124 are not a problem. Those work fine (I guess, wasn't able to test them off course).

What must I do, to fix that first step?

Thanks

Hi kimouette,

everything is clear now! Tanks a lot.

Now, the next problem . When I try to run the cracks, i get the message, that "it's not supported by this architecture". I also tried everything indicated by previously posted posts (I did not install the first update etc.).

Is this a dead end, or is there still a solution?

Tanks for all your efforts Kimouette!!

143.Posted by wpeelaer on Jun 25 2008 at 01:22

Hi kimouette,

i just simply click on the cracks' icons (after having changed the iPatch and stuff).

OMG I need Help!!! This is so not like the PC, but still love my MAC.. I have a 10.5.3 mac book pro and I cant seem to do it correctly and/or the patches are not working. I keep installing, then follow steps on here, then uninstall to repeat process cause it does not work. During the terminal, I did the steps and after I entered password, it does not do anything but go to command prompt. Did I do it too many times when I kept installing and uninstalling?

Mount Civ IV Image, copy folder to HDD (to your Macintosh HD)
Install second 1.61 update
Install Warlords
Run terminal & enter: sudo chmod -R ugo=rwx [CIV IV Folder] (Drag folder into terminal.)

- Go to www.ipatch.org
- Download the file there : you will get a .dmg file (this is an image file)
- Double click on that file (called "iPatch3.7.1.dmg"
-It opens a new window : take the "stamp icon" and by simply doing a drag and drop, put it on your desktop
-Right click on that ipatch icon and select "Show Package Content"
-Click on Contents, then Resources. From there, right-click on iPatcher, select "Show Package Content"
-From that new window, click on Contents, then on MacOS and there you will find "iPatcher" (which is what we are looking for!)
- Drag that file on your desktop

159.Posted by Neec0 on Jul 11 2008 at 05:21

and same procedure for the other crack ...

- Double click on the crack called"Civ4.Warlords.Crack.dmg" : it opens a new window
- Drag and drop the crack (which is the icon) on your desktop
- Rick click on that crack and select "Show Package Content"
- Now go to Contents, then MacOS to finaly get to the ipatcher file we want to replace
- Keep that window open and go back to your desktop where we left the latest version of ipatcher
- Right click on it, select "Copy ipatcher"
- Go back to the window we left open, right click somewhere in it and select "Paste" (a window sayying that the file already exists will show up, that's fine, just click on "REPLACE"

Now that your cracks have been updated, you can get rid of the original ipatcher we left on your desktop, and finally run the cracks! So simply double click on each crack!

161.Posted by Neec0 on Jul 11 2008 at 05:25

Oh and one more thing... Where is it that Civ IV the game not Warlords gets installed??? Is there a need to? Or is this the first step... "Mount CIV IV image, copy folder to HDD"??

boycheck42,

Here :

http://www.serialgamer.com/direct-518544.html

Scroll down the page a little, and click on "Download".
That will bring you to a new page where it says "Your download is initializing. Please wait 5 seconds!"

After 5 seconds that sentence will be replaced with :
"Your download is ready. Please click here to download the file."

so just click on it!

169.Posted by boycheck42 on Jul 21 2008 at 08:20
