Deus Ex: Human Revolution no-ads

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

This will disable the game from downloading ads for the billboards in-game loading screens.

  1. Download no-ads.zip
  2. Extract DFEngine.dll to the game directory (eg: X:\Path\To\Steam\steamapps\common\deus ex - human revolution), overwriting the original. Backup the original if you wish before extracting if you wish.
  3. Play game.

From Dust startup hook

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Use this at your own risk, I don’t know how UPlay treats code hacks in the long run.

How to use:

  1. Download startuphook-v1.zip
  2. Extract both files (the DLL and startup.txt) to game directory, such as: X:\Path\To\Steam\steamapps\common\from dust.
  3. Edit startup.txt if you want.
  4. Play game.

startuphook-v1 was made for the latest version of From_Dust.exe (as of this posting) which has an md5sum of b9c5470f75d047f18fbcd1ed21534bdc.

What this DLL does:

  • Patches the FPS limiter to 120 (instead of 30).
  • Hooks engine initialization so you can change a static set of startup arguments to whatever you want using startup.txt.

If you have any issues please comment this post, new patches will break this hook (but the hook will safely warn you).

Important: don’t remove the existing text in startup.txt (/lynfs "/BinPC" /projectid:DUST), only add to it!

The default contents of startup.txt: /lynfs "/BinPC" /projectid:DUST

Example: /lynfs "/BinPC" /projectid:DUST /vsync:2

Possible arguments:

HOARD data decrypter

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

At someone’s request, I created a tool that will decrypt all data in HOARD’s encrypteddata directory.

Running DecryptData.exe will automatically detect the game path and decrypt all files in encrypteddata and write them to their paths under data. I’m not sure if the game will prefer files in the data directory over encrypteddata, but if you rename or delete the encrypteddata directory it will force the game to load everything from data.

Download.

Dawn of Discovery / ANNO 1404: Unlock Preorder Content

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Want the preorder Silver Ship or Preorder Emblem but didn’t preorder the game?

  1. Extract preorder_hack.zip to your game directory. It should not overwrite any files.
  2. Set PreferLocalFiles in Engine.ini to 1. This file can be found on Vista/Win7 in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini. It’s probably something like C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini on XP.
  3. Start any game, rename one of your ships to the The Silver Ship. If you are playing the game in a different locale than English, you will need to extract change_achievement_name.zip to your game directory as well.
  4. You should see at least one achievement unlock.
  5. Silver Ship and Preorder Emblem should now be enabled. Silver Ship toggle is in game options, Preorder Emblem is listed with all other unlocked emblems.
  6. Remove the extract file(s) after you’ve saved and exited the game.
