Why do people upload cracked steam versions of games that also released on gog and already have a DRM-free installer?
  • It's the achievements for me. Achievement Watcher doesn't work on GOG games installed offline.

    I usually grab clean steam files on cs.rin and "crack"(my vocab sucks) the games by myself by using goldberg emu. Problem is the games I want isn't always uploaded and updated unlike Scene releases so I instead download from them if this is the case. Scene release aren't pre-cracked when you download them. You'd still have to copy the steam emu on the game directory first before you could run it.

    Also, anyone who owns the game on GOG could just share it by downloading the offline installer on GOG Galaxy. There's no cracking happening so I think it's not Scene's job to upload DRM free games. We already have gog-games and torrminatorr doing that.

    I guess the reason why Scene still cracks steam games that are also released on GOG is because of tradition. Plus, it's nice to have some other options.

    RIP Google Drive. You will, once again, be missed.
  • It downloads fast compared to other file hosters. Pixeldrain somehow caps my bandwith even though I haven't reached the data limit yet. I use JD2 or IDM.

  • My apologies. I wasn't clear on this post. Google Drive is very alive. It's sharing clean steam files on Google Drive that doesn't work.

  • Thanks but I only go fitgirl for small games 'cause I'm too impatient and my pc is on the low-end. Big games are still playable although I have to set the graphics on the lowest setting and lower the resolution. I don't mind waiting weeks to download a game

  • Is there a public tracker where scene releases of video games are not uploaded by IGG?

    TGX abd 1337x both has scene releases uploaded by IGG. I can't seem to find non-IGG ones.

    A nagging screen from AutoCAD 2018 suddenly appeared after using it for 3 years.
  • Just an update. I did a google search and found that it was the program/process called AcWebBrowser.exe so I created an outbound rule for the program and the nagging screen finally stopped.

    A nagging screen from AutoCAD 2018 suddenly appeared after using it for 3 years.
  • Thanks. I didn't go through every process carefully; just skimmed through them, but I saw one process about Licensing manager or something. Went through it's directory folder and found an xml file which contains the words "autocad". I assumed it was the one 'causing it so I killed the process but unofortunately, it didn't do a thing.

    I apologize for the lack of info, I'm on mobile atm and have no access to my pc yet.

    Were you able to stop the nagging on your side?

  • Today I encountered a nagging screen from AutoCAD 2018 telling me that my AutoCAD license is invalid. It appears every few minutes. You can close it and continue using the software freely but the nagging dialog is getting annoying.

    I downloaded it from rutracker years ago. No nagging screen appeared until today.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this? I already added a rule in the Firewall settings to block connections.

    Apologies if my wordings are bad, English is not my native language. Also, I'm not savvy about these stuff so please bear with me, thank you.

    EDIT: added the version of AutoCAD to the title and body.
