Flashpoint cheats?

[tglatz02]

Ok, I went to a site that had some cheat codes. THey explain how to use them while playing in campaign mode.... Now here is my question.... They claim this, quoted:

"NOTE: It's important to note that using any cheat code for Operation Flashpoint will activate the FADE feature. This will result in reduced weapon accuracy, problems loading, until eventually your computer will not even recognize the CD in your drive. Once this happens, you have to uninstall the game, delete the OFP folder and clear the entry from your registry in order to play the game again. (thanks: Troy Kochner)"

Is there any thruth to that??? Will codmasters blow away my "Legal store bought" copy if I use a friggin cheat code??
If so, what kinda crap is that?? Ok, cheating while playing the first time is kinda stupid. But if I finish the campaign and want to just activate "god" mode and have fun, why cant I do that? Why would they go and blow up my copy?

Now, I just read the manual and it does say somthing about fade mode and Illegal copies... But that does not apply to me, I purchaced the dam thing... However, there is nothing in the Licence aggrement about using cheat codes.....

Please let me know, before I try any cheats.

Thanks.

well, like any other ligitamate OFP gamer who bought his copy fair and square, i wouldnt risk it. From what iv heard about the anti-piracy functions put on the software, it seems to me that the developers really want people to play it the ligitamate way. maybe they werent thinking about cheat codes at the time, but it seems to me that bad stuff can happen if you try to do things with this game that werent intended to be done. i.e. counterfeiting, and could very well be, cheating. I'd just stear clear of it all. I like being able to die.

Nope a built in cheat will not activate FADE.

FADE protects against modifications to the executable itself and illegal copies, but the cheat codes you found are built into OFP itself, and were left in the game by the developers. They will not damage your OFP installation.

trainers also activate FADE
