Pirate/Warez key banned
« on: April 21, 2021, 17:17 »
Banned GUID: 50215410a14df913601e478371eeee6c

The game often costs less to buy new than a pint of beer. Unfortunately for all the people who have used this warez key, one of you has been banned - and that will affect all of you using it.

Maybe a site like this will help you get a legitimate copy - but if you get the gog edition, please ask for your own unique key otherwise you run the risk of that widely used key being banned here too.

https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/unreal-deal-pack-pc-steam

Many other places will sell you a legitimate copy of the game for very little money.


Once you have a new valid game key you can replace the pirate cd key in your windows registry with a new one using this UT2004RegFix-1.3.zip. You must run it as administrator.

It's been pointed out that this utility is also good: ut2004changer.zip.


If you have linux you need to edit the file with the name "cdkey" (no extension) in your ~/.ut2004/System/ folder. Put the CD-key in the file exactly as it is printed on the CD case and save the file.

Yes, yes. Not sure if they changed how they handle it, but when I purchased my GOG copy, an email sent to their customer support was all I needed for a unique CD key.
Previously known as: xS0NARx, Njordr, Latte, or whatever the "name of the week" was.

Just an update for those who are asking me what to do once you have a new valid key:

1. Run the executable. It will show your current game key:



2. Press the "Add" button and input your new key and press "OK":



3. Select the new key and press "Set" and the key you chose is now in use.:



4. Start up ut2004 again and it will be using the new key you set.

Ez a CD kulcsmódosító nagyon alkalmas RPG Invasion játékhoz.
Nagyon szeretem a Black Mesa Server RPG invázióját. A karakterem pedig egy másik saját Unreal Anthology kiadásban szerepel.
Tehát mindig az előző lemez CD-kulcsára kell váltanom a CD kulcs visszaállítót....ha RPG -t szeretnék játszani. Nekünk 2x van meg az Unreal Anthology Gyémánt kiadás, így az előzőn van a RPG karakterem. mivel a RPG a CD kulcsokhoz vannak kötve.

2x vásároltuk meg Unreal Anthology Gyémántkiadás.
És UT2003-at egyszer vásároltuk meg.
Valójában ritkábban használjuk, de már alig kapható példány.
A gyémántkiadás már nem kapható! Sajnos már nem gyártják.
Szerencsére van 2 eredeti gyémánt kiadás példányunk.
Mindkét példányt a Media Markt üzletben vásároltuk.
Egy példány ára 12 780FT - - -> 42,59 USD
