Windows XP SP2 to SP3 reg hack for GTA IV

Gta IV has been released few days ago,and it (kinda) needs service pack 3 instaled.
As some people (like me) don't want to install sp3 just for gta,here's this simple registry tweak.

Instaling sp3 ain't bad thing,so you can do it anyway.
Srbija do Liberty City-ja :-)

P.S.
Here's divx version on rapidshare,it's better quality.

i have sp3 its gonna work in my xp?

[bujooo]

@gtabigfan34 it should work. but be sure to instal .NET 3.5 (or was it 3.0 ?). that used to cause problems. as long as you instal all patches (i think that there are 5 or 6 of them),and update drivers for graphic,you shouldn't run into any serious problem (except missing textures (not enough of ram) and low framerates (weak gpu))...

Hvala! Vidim da je pitanje već postavljeno, radi li i na x64?

Maeni treba zbog instalacije Sony Vegas 10 koji traži SP3 a Windowsi x64 nemaju SP3.

[bujooo]

@HDVideoArt nemam nikakva iskustva sa 64 bitnim XP-om,pa mogu samo da nagadjam. ako mozes da nadjes kljuc koji trebas da izmenis,pokusaj pa sta bude (ali obavezno napravi backup). u principu to nebi trebalo da napravi neki haos ako ne radi kako teba,ali odluka je ipak na tebi. kako sam procitao na net-u,SP2 za x64 je ekvivalentan sp3 za x32 (x64 koristi SP2 (izasao negde polovinom 2007god) za win server 2003).kao sto sam vec rekao,ovaj hack prolazi kod igara koje realno ne trebaju SP3.

[bujooo]

@HDVideoArt jos nesto da dodam (ostao sam bez slova :-) ).ukoliko redovno updateujes win,ovaj hack bi trebao da prodje.mada mi nije jasno zbog cega vegas trazi sp3 za sistem koji to nema ??? verovatno konta da je x32 win...btw,dali je vegas 32 ili 64 instalacija ?

[MrKostale]

Buraz hoce li mi ovo pomoci oko nekih drugih problema kao sto je LAN konekcija?? Ili je to samo fora za igrice posto nisi nista instalirao ??

[bujooo]

@MrKostale ovo samo resava problem oko verzije servis pack-a,i nista drugo (koliko sam primetio).ako odredjena igra trazi sp3,a instaliran je sp2,onda ovo moze da upali (ukoliko sp3 nije stvarno potreban,vec cisto force upgrade fora).primetio sam da ova fora moze jos kod nekih igara da upali.ali to mi vise nije bitno,jer instaliram win sa integrisanim sp3.

@061915615 pa jebemliga...dosada se niko nije zalio :-)

sanse da se nesto lose desi su male,i gotovo da nepostoje.

ako ti se nesto sjebe,onda si bas baksuz ;-)
