Downloading games - New user

[PatheticTroll]

I have started using the Bay for some days and I tried to download some games like Civilization V and Football Manager. I have been trying to understand what to do after it is downloaded in the Utorrent but after then, even though I run the program, its fails to launch it. I have been reading the comments written below the game description in the Bay, but I cant understand anything. Can someone please explain me excactly what to do?

Welcome to TPB.

Could you post an link to the torrent(s) you've downloaded? 

Would make it alot easier to help you

[PatheticTroll]

Thank you very much!

This is one Example.

[EddieXTC]

Tested, and worked here. *Windows 8.1*

It wasn't really hard tho.
Click on setup.exe, then u get to choose between two diff cracks, i chose ALI (since i read in the comments that that one works)

After that go to the folder u installed it in (default is program files) and click on Launcher. (if it doesnt work try to run it as administrator)


Let me know if this worked for you.

Thank you very much for helping me! What i was doing is just double clicking and it didnt launch. After your post, i selected "Run as Adminstrator" and it launched.

I would also need some help with another game. Even though I read the instructions for how to install it, I dont understand how to do it. Can you please explain me what should I do?

These are the instructions:
How to install:

After download is done:
- Mount/burn or extract the ISO file ,
- Install ,
- Copy crack content to the installation dir of the game ,
- wait until is done
- play game.

Mount/burn or extract the ISO file.
Just burn the ISO into the CD. To do that, make sure you have a program that will burn ISO (also called images) into the CD/DVD/Blu Ray. It's kind of like having a RAR/ZIP and extracting its contents onto the CD, except, you're using an intermediary to put the data onto the CD, or in my analogy, extracting the files onto another location. The difference in style is that once you burn the data into a disc, you won't be able to change it later, whereas you can if you just unzipped a file to a directory or some place on your hard drive.

Now, if you're talking about mount, you'll need an image mounter to do that. What it does is that it will create a virtual drive that will pretend the ISO file was a real disc that you burned and placed inside the virtual drive. Normally, I would just use an optical (i.e. CD/DVD/Blu Ray) disc and burn the data onto it.

Install
Install the game as you would to any computer program or any game that you have on a disc, copied or otherwise.

Copy crack content to the installation dir of the game
Find the crack folder on the DVD/mounted image and put it onto the game directory, something like c:\footballmanager2015\. Normally, this is an .exe that will replace an earlier version that you installed along with the game files. If the computer asks if you want to replace the earlier version, just click yes.

Does this help?

What robertx says. What os do you use? 

If Windows 8.1 then u can do rightclick on the .iso file and select open with (windows explorer) 


If windows 7/vista then u should download a program like winrar 2 unzip it or a program like daemon tools to mount it. There are plenty of tutorials howto use it. 


If you can't figure it out just let me know and ill find you an good tutorial

[PatheticTroll]

Thank you RobertX for what you wrote. You really helped me understand the basics, but still I am not 100% sure how to do it.

EddieXTC could you please give me a link of a good tutorial for how to do it?

[RobertX]

Let's take a hands-on approach. Using what EddieXTC and I told you, just try to follow the instructions to the best of your ability.

If you're stuck on a step, then tell us.

It's easier this way for all concerned.

[PatheticTroll]

Ok, I will try it the next 24 hours when I will have time and I will tell you
