We're a professional team of dedicated sceners with big mark under sceners. We believe on the ground idealism of the root of the real old school scene. We do all this for fun and nothing else. We don't earn anything on our hobby as we do this for the competition and the heart of what got the scene started in the mid eighties. If you think you got something to offer, then don't hold back on contacting us as soon as possible. Skid Row 2009 READ NFO Notes: We are terribly sorry that a such well-known & respected group like BATTERY wanted to score some easy points preing a proper of questionable use and sense. Here we will explain in detail why their release is invalid and useless. *** QUOTE: "The SKIDROW update release misses certain files, making the game nonworking if applied to the retail version of the game." Free tip - when trying to proper a certain release, make sure you test it. Or in this case - even launch it. If you would do the usual steps, you would find out that our EXE starts (!), shows the game menu (!!) and - what's mostly shocking - it allows you to *PLAY* the game. Even more obvious, the Razor's/ReUnion's trainer also works flawlessly - if the game would be nonworking for them, why they would bother to make a trainer?! But this doesn't picture the complete image of BAT's negligence and willful wrong, so let's have a look at those very important files offered by them. *** When the game was released, the initial 1.0 crack came with 2 extra files - clownBold.ttg and lib_art.map plus a grass.tga which was presented as a fix. The hindmost one was addressing missing ground textures and game crashing after 5th mission in each campaign as reported by some people. Some means not everybody - others had problems despite RELOADED's fix, others - didn't have them at all. It soon became clear that among those people were also paying EA's customers. Those issues have been solved by the first patches what you can see exploring various C&C fansites and forums. It is also stressed out by the makers of a popular CO-OP mod at their site: http://teknogods.com/?page_id=37 Of course, we took our time & tested our release under different operating systems and playing through the campaigns and skirmish missions and no encountered a problem except an utter waste of time. *** As a bonus, we also analyzed the important files which our release was lacking. Not only they are never accessed by the game (get yourself a file access monitor peeps!), but they seen completely broken. Just compare the 1st file with any TTF file to see eye-popping differences. clownBold.ttg AKA broken True Type Font file -------------------------------------------- 0000h: 00 01 00 00 00 12 01 00 00 04 00 20 47 50 4F 53 ...........

[uh-oh, i'm incomplete] What's even more funny, the game at 1.0 version also worked fine without those two scraps of data. That makes us wonder why to include a bunch of random, broken files to the release and be so confident about their use? Maybe a better option is to test the release thoroughly and put the attention to other, more important tasks? We believe that was just a one-time prank & we won't be disturbed with worthless propers. If you want to be treated serious, act like serious. And if something is *TRULY* not working, provide some ***PROOFS*** at least. Thanks for reading. On with the update release information: Update Command And Conquer Red Alert 3 Patch 1.012 Fixes: This is an emergency hotfix that corrects the Assault Destroyer Black Hole Armor error from Patch 1.11.
