@draytalon: Your detailed feedback is very valuable. (Actually most people, myself included, will do what you did at first - Install main game - 2 updates - final patch - block firewall). Hope you continue to find fun and favorite games in this community , hehe. |
@IGGGAMES, Yes I did copy all said files, once i installed the main game, i copied all the files in the plaza folder and overwrote all files in the main folder, did the same for the next update patch and the same for the next update patch, then last off all i did the same for the fix patch, but still comes up with the "Trying to connect to steam" box. |
I tried it as well and followed all instructions carefully including copying all the files in the PLAZA folder to the correct location in the install folder but I too still only get the Steam dialog |
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but i downloaded the main game, installed and copied everything over in the folder, patched it with the update patch, copied all files over again, then installed the final patch and copied all files over. Blocked the games .exe file through windows firewall and via my antivirus program so it shouldn't get online. When I start the game, it just sits in the main lobby trying to connect to Steam. I also downloaded and copied all files from the patch fix, still getting 'Trying to connect to steam' Any help would be appreciated |
You installed step by step? Premium Bowling-PLAZA > v1.9.2 > 1.9.3 > Crack fixed I copied the instructions from someone who had the same problem as you (1 year ago), I don't know if it has been fixed by the developer now: =================================== User 1: Disable your Internet before the installation, apply different updates,apply the crack fix, launch the game to make sure it works, quit the game, block incoming and outgoing in firewall. Works with my HTC Vive. Goodluck. =================================== User 2: It does work. I was receiving the "you must update in order to play" error. Added premiumbowling.exe to my firewall deny list and the game loads right up. |
@IGGGAMES, Yes I did download this crack fix and applied it as per instructions, but still with the same error upon loading the game, maybe steam have managed a work around the crack, thanks for helping. |
"patch fix", do you mean the files in the PLAZA folder? Since as you said, the game connects to Steam after installation, that proves it's not cracked yet. So maybe you haven't cracked it yet. You copy all the files in the folder named PLAZA and paste it to your game's dir ;) |
@IGGGAMES and @MIOK. managed to figure it all out. I installed the main game, blocked the .exe file in my firewall, then patched the game with both the update patches and then the final patch. Now i can play the game without going through steam. What I did at first was to install the main game, then patch it with both updates then do the final patch, then i would block the .exe in my firewall, thus is caused me to try and connect to steam, but doing it the way i mentioned at the beginning of the comment, it plays without any issues. Again, thanks for the help and info IGGGAMES |
@miok, @draytalon: As this was confirmed by both miok and draytalon, so i double checked the info on the scene. Both of you are correct, PLAZA's crack is broken in this version. They uploaded the "Premium Bowling Crackfix READNFO-PLAZA" version then, which you can find here: https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/13845503/Premium-Bowling-Crackfix-READNFO-PLAZA Since this torrent was uploaded 2 years ago, I didn't remember, sorry about this. NOTE: It seems to me that "Premium Bowling Crackfix READNFO-PLAZA" shows "0 seed", I don't know if you can download them again. It is only crack fix only, so only about 1Mb, if you want you can pm me for the link, I will upload them to zippyshare for you. Or if miok allows, I will leave the link in this comment for future convenience, people can download more easily. |
