Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
0. What is the password for link protector ! i can’t find the password for rar ?
in every game post you will find the password for link protector and for rar, the password is the same for both.
1. i get an error like “CRC failed in the encrypted file, checksum errors (wrong password ?)” ?
first, make sure that you selected the password without adding a space or try to write the password manually. if you still see the error that’s mean that the file is corrupted because RAR cannot distinguish a corrupt file and wrong password. We test all games before publishing, so such message indicates 99% a corrupted file. sometimes it happens for those who have bad internet connection quality and especially who download from mega. to solve it, first download the last Winrar version 5.xx if you don’t have it, then delete the corrupted part or file (Winrar will show you the number of corrupted file part.xx) delete the corrupted completely (empty recycle bin) and you have to redownload it, we recommend you to change your current browser to redownload the file, try Firefox or Chrome or use a software like jdownloader. you can also download the corrupted part from a different host because all links are interchangeable (you can for example download part1 from mega part2 from uptobox part3 from uploaded)
3. How to download with MegaDownloader ?
first download and install MegaDownloader. if you don’t have it link or link (your antivirus can detect it as a virus, but it’s safe)
1. Download the .image (right-click > save image as…)
2. Run Megadownloader
3. Options > Steganography > Retrieve Links from an image
4. Browse > Add the image > Put the Password > Load

NOTE: how to know if the links are dead or not. screenshot here
4. i installed the game but when i click on the game .exe or the shortcut, it opens “STEAM” or “ORIGIN” ?
Probably you haven’t copied correctly the crack or your antivirus has removed the crack files or block them.
if you haven’t copy the crack, read the tutorial here
if you copied it. add those crack files to the white/exclusion list on your antivirus or disable your antivirus and reinstall the game and recopy the crack (here a tutorial how to add an exception for a blocked application for some antivirus AVAST | AVIRA | NORTON | KASPERSKY | AVG | ESET | BITDEFENDER | F-SECURE | PANDA

Repack it’s similar to a full game but with a reduced size, this reduction is due to:

No ! you can’t play on official servers with a cracked game but you can play on unofficial servers using some software like Tunngle, Hamachi or Gameranger.
