Help! 1.52, left CD at home

[marshill]

I have CIV IV installed on my desktop and my laptop. I hate having to always insert the CD to play because I have to lug it around with me everywhere. When I get ready to leave the house, I've had to remind myself 'dont forget to eject the CD and put it in your laptop case'. until now, I haven't forgotten to do it, but now I'm at my moms house for the weekend. I pulled out my laptop thinking I would have a relaxing morning playing CIV and am horrified to realize that I FORGOT MY CD, which is at home almost 160 miles away! I have the full program installed and patched to 1.52. Is there any way at all I can play this thing without having to insert the CD? Please. i don't go home until tomorrow and I'm so bummed about this

Playing Civ4 without the CD or DVD is NOT POSSIBLE. This is deliberate anti-piracy by the producers.

You are wrong. It is always possibly to play any game without the CD, no matter what anti piracy device they put on the disc. You just need to find the correct resource or be smart enough to make them.

Let this be a lesson, never visit your mother.

False. I play Civ IV with the latest patch and do not use the CD/DVD.

I've purchased Civ IV and if I want to use a no-cd patch, I guess I'm entitled to do that.

Don't be so naive-- pretty much any game or application can be cracked.

So you've cracked the security.
What's next ? Selling cracked copies to your pals, at a moderate charge ?
Better yet, make the cracked version downloadable at a very moderate price from a website in some country that has no piracy regulations. Or even free, but I doubt that you would be so philanthropic.
Piracy, pure piracy. Not at all laudable.

It's not piracy till you haven't paid for it.

Your high horse is over there. You seem to have fallen off it. Would you like directions on how to get back on it?

Moderator Action: Nope, you can't. Asking for ways to get around it is piracy, and that's not allowed. Thread closed.
