Razor1911 (RZR) cracks Far Cry 2 DRM protection

Yep. The one of oldest groups in the PC game scene have come back to show everyone how it’s done. Razor1911 claims to have cracked the Securom DRM protection in Far Cry 2 and have released a modified executable along with an ISO image of the full game. It seems that this modified exe will work with the previously leaked CloneDVD; The sizes of both are almost identical (both around 3.7GB).

The following information is taken from the release NFO:

Razor 1911 proudly presents
Far Cry 2 (C) Ubisoft
Date: 2008-10-22 Game Type : Shooter
Size: 1 DVD   Protection: SecuROM+Activation+Custom

Be warned that there are several fakes being swapped on bittorrent networks (public ones) with Razor1911 tag but this was just released a few minutes ago. It looks like Razor1911 are here to stay once again. Look at the closing line on NFO:

Razor 1911 Greetings

Far_Cry_2_cover_art 

Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal," a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit your their weaknesses, and neutralize their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force. Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives. Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat.
