it finally worked just run EASetup.exe, keep clicking next until it asks for your serial number, go to task manager and force close (end task) activation manager, next wait until finish. if done, open crack folder copy everything to the main game folder, overwrite if prompted. Run shift2u.exe and there you go
I found this guide for NfS The Run. It might work here as well. Force the game to run offline.
Guide:
=== Open up "Windows Defender Firewall". You can find this by searching in your Start menu.
Click on "Advanced Settings" on the lefthand side.
Click on "Outbound Rules" on the window that opens afterwards, then click on "New Rule...".
Under Rule Type, select Program and click Next.
Select "This Program Path" and navigate to the .exe for The Run, then click Next. (In my case, the default install location was C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed The Run\Need For Speed The Run.exe)
In the next window, select "Block the Connection", then Next.
Leave all three boxes checked for Domain, Private and Public.
Feel free to put whatever you want in the Name and Description (optional), then click Finish.
Are you sure? Im new to these cracked games so i dont know if it is normal for them to give false positives, is there a way to know if it is indeed a false positive or actually a virus?
Usually, the only way to know for 100% sure is if someone else has tried it out. I've downloaded this game twice, the second time being because I forgot that I had played it before. This site never has anything with a virus in it, so you can trust games from here, though of course I can't give you more than just my word for it. If something is indeed a virus it can usually do it's thing without you giving it admin privileges anyway; the people who write them are quite sly, after all.
Even if the game somehow works in Windows 10 after you install PhysX included in the DVD image, you still have to watch out. The 1st thing I did after installation is cracking the shift2.exe file and copying the shift2.dll file to the game's directory. I of course force-ended activation process during installation (task manager, kill process). BUT!!! If you want to play with DLC, you'll not do that. I applied the patch 1.01 (this is probably the only patch) and then installed the DLC file for DVD release. The game runs, but no DLC is available! Forget about Legends, don't think you'll confront SpeedHunters either. Is this release broken? Or am I doing anything wrong?
bruh shift2.dll was not found when it's literally right in the same folder xD. I'm running the game with Autorun btw. But if I run the game through exe, it says missing bink soundtrack or whatever. I'm done trying lol
copy all of the contents in part 2 file into part 1 file. if there's a pop-up saying there are a few couple files that are similar, click on 'replace file in destination'.
For those who get the error "Sorry your time has expired":
Open "Run" from Start Menu
Type "regedit" and press OK
In the Registry Editor go to Edit, then Find (or press Ctrl + F) and search for [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface{5E6F93E4-59E3-56F4-5896-5DE400A8A6C0}] - If you have a 32-bit operating system [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\Interface{5E6F93E4-59E3-56F4-5896-5DE400A8A6C0}] - If you have a 64-bit operating system
After you found it, right click and delete it. You're done
for those who get crashed after the loading screen,try to reinstalling the game without uninstalling it 1st,the 1st install should be in a different problem,i tried using the original and the cracked one,and it worked,if u still cant try to uninstall both of em,and try to install it again
Hey guys, When you're don extracting the files, go where you extracted it and run EASetup. Let it load, and when it comes up just accept whatever until you get the serial key. If you don't have one, run task manager find activation with the same logo, and end the process, it should bring you to the next step.
Hey man, thanks for your instructions. I was able to get past the serial key part and went straight to the download. For those trying to get past the key activation, try the method that "some guy" posted, although it might not work for everybody. But at least give it a try. Again, thanks man.
Unplayable.
Force the game to run offline.
