Thread: Re: What to do?

ok so every time i download a game (all apart from fallout 3) all i get is rar files that after i extract and install the games never work for one reason or another, can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong or point me to an idiots guide to doing it correctly! or does anyone know any site that the uploaders actually take their time in uploading good content that works and actually installs as the nfo file says it will! or maybe even ones with readable nfo files will help lol!



heres what i get nearly every time i download something,

Any help would be appreciated :)

Post moved into a new thread.

Read the nfo, it has the info you need to make the game work, only installing it without applying the crack won't do.

Damn NFO Viewer would be what you need to read them if you havent got anything installed:
Download DAMN NFO Viewer 2.10.0032.RC3 Free - The BEST utility for viewing text files containing ASCII Art (NFO/DIZ/TXT) - Softpedia

usually extracting only one is enough, they all extract and then just use magiciso or daemon tools to mount the iso. hope i helped

What and how many files are in the folder once you have opened the rar files up to get your Brink Folder?

Alright. You download the torrent, which generally is broken down to a lot of .rar files. This means you need to download and install winrar. Do that.

Once installed, click on the very first listed .rar file in that huge batch of .rars.

After extracted, you'll likely have a .iso file. This is an image (imagine a picture) of the cd or DVD the game came on. But wait, now you need a program that will 'mount' the image. What this does is emulates (acts like) the cd/dvd is in your possession and loaded into your cd/dvd player. Use daemon tool's lite. Be careful when installing it to select custom install, and click off all options for added toolbars.

Ok great, so you have this image mounted so it looks like you have the cd in your possession.

Double click the cd (which is being emulated by daemon tools) under my computer. The program will start installing.

Now you need to look at the .nfo for the file you downloaded. Does it have an included key that you will use during installation? Does it have a keygenerator that you will need to use? This depends on the torrent release.

Once you have the serial part figured out, you'll need to copy the crack (usually included in the torrent) and paste it over the .exe for the game, located under your program files. This removes the program that checks to make sure you actually have a cd in your possession. After this is complete you won't need to mount the game anymore.

Click on the cracked .exe to start the game.

This is the general path for pirating pc games. Otherwise, make sure you are downloading games for your operating system (if you have a mac, pc games won't work). Get to googling as well. There are millions of people who have encountered this problem before you, and if you aren't googling any issue that comes up then you aren't doing anyone any favors. Especially do not bad mouth a release if you don't know the process for installation and therefore couldn't get it to install!

If none of the above posts have helped you, explain what exactly is going wrong... your first post is quite vague after all!

I don't get what exactly is your problem, can't you extract correct or install the game ?!

First of all, you should extract the first of all rar files, just the first. Then you have to tell us what you get when you extract them, if you get the setup.exe file of the game, try to install it, afterwards you should install or put the crack file on the correct place. Try to send us more information.
