View Full Version : Help With ToCA Race Driver 2
I have Toca Race driver 2 on DVD, when it gets to the point where I need to enter the CD key it starts to check the disk and takes about 10minutes before it gets to the end and then says the key is invalid.
If I enter a different key that is wrong it tells me it's invalid in about 2 seconds, but with the right one the DVD it takes ages before it says it's invalid.
I have tried patching it and it didnt work and have tried all the no cd fixes I can find online and none of those work either.
Does anyone know what it might be? It's really annoying because I have the DVD right here with the right key etc it just refuses to accept it.
Thanks.
Is your original CD scratched badly?
No, it's brand new. It came with one of those game packs you get when you buy computers sometimes, my friend had it and didnt play it once it so gave it to me still sealed.
anyone have any other possible suggestions?
thanks

Reloaded's crack is for the 1.2 patch as well so you'd need to patch first.
from what i have read the reloaded crack only works with the reloaded rip of the game.

It will probably be available on GCW soon; be patient!
from what i have read the reloaded crack only works with the reloaded rip of the game.
where did you get that ??? tested by yourself?
gotta test by myself, īcos i aint taking your word for it :)
Andre2779
13-10-2005, 10:18
yeah will also test it for my self, can anyone upload it @ rapidshare.com or so
no i havent tested it nor seen it on the internet,i have read it on forums when doing searchs for the crack.
and as far as i have seen the reloaded game rip is not available yet anyway,from what i have read.
i saw it on nforce...made the search,couldnt find it,nor did i read where to find it.
what i am planning on doing is waiting for it to hit a torrent site then i will download it,(the crack only) and then i will upload it here,aslong as reloaded hasent already done so.
Andre2779
13-10-2005, 11:31
really no one here who can upload it that we all can test it ^^
i cant find the stupid thing anywhere,it almost seems to good to be true.
I cant see it anywhere. So I cant comment

13-10-2005, 15:40
so now i have tested it with the original version but it wonīt work, you need to have the full release of reloaded
here you can test yourselves
http://rapidshare.de/files/6249283/Crack.rar.html
my mate just tested it,it dont work neither.
Works fine for me......
Install game from orig DVD
Update to 1.2
Copy over crack
Remove DVD and use mini-image (or it asks for the disk)
Play!
You are right it works
1. If you have the right Mini-Images, there are several Versions out-for Uk,De,Us and maybe other languages too
2. You need the Key of the Polish CD Version to run the game with the mini image.
In most releases the Key was Killed "for obvious reasons" , but you can get a e real one on The Edonkey/Emule Networks. Files don't get modified on edonkey, no bad Law Freaky persons there ...
Joe Forster/STA
14-10-2005, 03:43
If you meant "law freaky" as an insult, you might wanna apologize for it. GCW admins don't remove serials and CD-keys from no-CD patches and mini images only to annoy you!
Andre2779
14-10-2005, 08:47
worked for me too, have to need the right mini image:D
Big THANK "Andre2779" your linked crack is a "Fixed.exe" so you can use it with a backup copi from game in DVDrom drive or with a mini image & virtual dvd drive without. this "fixed.exe" work after update 1.2 I have tested with a backup copie in drive, on win XP SP1. :D
Tested it in french. don't know how it work in polish or italian or other but french is ok. :)

I have the reloaded version of the dvd and the crack. I installed it off the drive, updated it to v2.1 and then copied over the crack. Every time that I try to run it I get (RD2.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point RestoreLastError could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll) I have not burnt it out yet. I will try this next. If that doesn't work, I'm done with it. It's just not worth it.

I have the reloaded version of the dvd and the crack.

YES already i have make a test on SP1 and dosn't work.
make test with different type of system modes,possible it work. :D
Nothing to do dosn't work on SP1 in all possible modes.
Now i updated offline my SP1 to SP2 and the crack & nocd patch work Proper. :D
Possible if you update to SP2, you encounter "Blue screens" they are due to the execution mode from DDRam drive on SP2, than Go to your BIOS and remove all DDRAM overclocking modes and high performances settings SET to default .blue screens will desapear. and your OS dosn't work slower, SP2 run allways the ram with bether performances as an "overclocked SP1" :cool:
Have fun play a game withot DVD in drive.

The NEW NO-DVD-CRACK for version 1.2 of "TOCA/DTM Race Driver 2" can not be downloaded! Someone has linked to the old NCRYSO-crack for version 1.0!
I have tested it it really is the old crack from NCRYSO and not a new one from RELOADED!
IF A MODERATOR / ADMIN READS THIS PLEASE TELL SOMEONE TO FIX THE LINK, PLEASE!
xImmortalx
15-10-2005, 05:41
1st of all, that isn't the new crack, it is simply a fix for NCRYSO's original crack which didn't work at all (not that the fix works much better). 2nd of all, that crack is actually a loader which supposedly works for all versions so you're maybe expecting a bit much. 3rd of all, stop spamming forums when you didn't even give the crack a good lookover. It's exactly what it says it is. Nobody has even tried to upload the RELOADED crack yet.
That being said, I do posess the RELOADED crack, have confirmed it works on any flavor of RD2 as long as it is patched to 1.2 and will attempt to upload it as soon as I finish this post. So be on the lookout.

I stand corrected on it not being available. But GCW will help spread it much better and that doesn't make the first part of my post any less right. Hey, at least no more of that Starforce headache.
yep its working guys,just install 1.2 patch and paste teh cracked exe over teh original,and play :D
Well, maybe it works, but you cannot save your progress in game (at least, in the spanish version). I' ve tried to run the free race mode, and after i finish a race and i try to race the following one, it always shows me the first race (no matter what championship you are trying to run. I' ve running my own and legitimate copy of the game, and i have applied the crack, but no way. In my case, it's true i can run the race i want, but i can't run a complete championship, because of the problem i am telling you: always the first race, and no option to go to the next one... :mad:
greetings
maybe the crack isent compatiable with teh spanish version,cos this works perfect on my mates machine.

I'm using the reloaded patch.
I'm running win2k (SP4- fully updated), P4
[email protected] / 6800GT@415/1100 (81.84's) and every other game works! Toca 2 is the only game that Does Not Work! And I keep getting this error.
RD2.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point RestoreLastError could not be located in the dynamic link libarary kernel32.dll
Now if this is an issue with my configuration or software then why is it that toca2 is the ONLY! game that does this? I have like 25 other games installed non of them do this. GTR even runs on this system without a problem!!
By the time that this acutally works Toca 3 will be out and that will be even more of a P.O.S.
RestoreLastError is an XP (or higher) export from kernel32.dll, technically the crack is bad for any os under xp, because RestoreLastError has to be changed to GetLastError or SetLastError (cant remember which but i think its the first one), this can be done by hexediting the import table of the exe, fixing it and making it work on 2k (or higher) again... its been discussed before..
or he could just get xp :P
god_mode
15-10-2005, 17:37
I found out that toca2 works on win2k, it's just the crack that isn't compatable. But I guess that there is a fix for the fix. Now I'm just trying to find it :D

Thanks for the info but i can't get it to work, what am i doing wrong ?
W2k up to date.
With the reloaded exe i get a RestoreLastError so i edited it with XVI32(free hex editor), replaced Restore with Get or Set i get a different error; "The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll".
Any other things to be changed ? :)
GetLastError and you have to overwrite the RestoreLastError with that, and make sure that the last character is 00 hex, so its terminated, im guessing you didnt hex edit it properly

Did it like this (also with Set instead of Get, same error);

When i'm done i just save the file and run it. (saved its exactly the same size as reloaded one)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SFXNE9HB
Just patch RLD's fixed EXE and play finally w/o CD & image. ;)
I have exactly done all this and the game still does NOT start!
I copied the "RD2.exe" from the RELOADED-crack for version 1.2 to my game directory! Then I applied the CRASH FIX for this crack from MegaUpload.com and patched the crack! But I still get the error message "RD2.exe has caused an error and has to be closed." Thats the same what I also get when I do NOT patch the crack! ORIGINAL DVD works fine!
Any ideas??? By the way I am using "Windows XP Home Edition with SP1"!
alex_voyager
16-10-2005, 09:01
Also for me. Don't works with XP SP1 :(
I think that RLD has decrypted the game under XP SP2 and not tested with SP1.
yeh service pack 2 only....funny things in most starforce based games (espeacilly codemasters) it states that service pack 2 is essential.
so running it on service pack 1 is like running it below minimum specs.
MontyBurns1985
16-10-2005, 10:44
Damn, I don't want to update my XP to SP2 because of the incompatibility to older games! :mad: I heard that most of the older games do not work with XP with SP2!
Is there no other solution??? I would really appreciate having the chance to play this game without DVD finally, but like I already said I don't want "XP - SP2" on my computer!
Another Question: Is the crack really a NO-DVD FIXED EXE or is it only a BACKUP-DVD FIXED EXE??? When it is only a BACKUP-DVD-CRACK it's senseless for me, because then I can also put in my ORIGINAL-DVD in the same time!

16-10-2005, 11:25
Well I used the hex editor and made the the change from Restore to Get. I then made sure that the 00 was at the end. I then saved it copied it over to the installed dir. and tried it. Now I get RD2.exe is not a valid win32 application.
There is a way to make this work. I just don't understand why the people that say that they have it working on win2k can't just put up a link to the modded rd2.exe? Or msg me and I'll host it. Or send it to gcw and they will host it. Either way this should be out there.
what older games monty? everything works on my pc that i own all my old windows 95 games,some aquire dos box,like they did on sp1.
theres alot of myths about sp2,dont believe the hype.
and even so,you can uninstall it if you dont like it.(sp2)
but honestly try it and see,i bet all your games run exactly the same.
Alot of mad people who dont run SP2, not only are you open from various worms, SP1 was buggy as hell.
god_mode
16-10-2005, 22:48
I tried this again. Just like how you showed and it still doesn't work, now it says GetLastError not found in kernel32.dll instead of RestoreLastError.
Yes, please someone make a working rd2.exe for win2k and upload it. or place a link here so everyone that wants it can grab it.
Thanks!

god_mode
17-10-2005, 09:08
Why is it that everyone offers work arounds instead of a solution for the problem? You guys are just as bad as the programmers. Make shifty software that is buggy or doesn't work on all platforms. Then instead of giving or providing a valid solution your instead just talk about work arounds and what people "should" do.
I run win2k, If it doesn't work and I tried to make it work then screw it. I'm not going to format and reinstall over some groups half assed crack that doesn't work on all platforms. I will however install vmware and install xp-sp2 and then run this game. Just to see if it works.

Are you paying anything to either members of this forum or the crackers making no-CD patches? Obviously, no. So why do you think you have the right for any kind of support here, for that matter? Don't demand, don't whine; rather, be happy and thankful if you get help of any kind.
By the way, have you noticed that, because of Starforce 3.x, currently there are only workarounds but no "clean" no-CD patches as before? But if you're as smart as you think you are, you'd better start learning assembly and the Windows API and making proper no-CD patch yourself!

How about this Joe, Here is my contrabution. intead of bitchin'!
Here is a walk through.
*reloaded* no/cd (RD2.exe)
XVI32 Hex editor
Open up the RD2.exe in the hex editor.
Then click search and find. Type in RestoreLastError into the text field. click search.
Then Edit>Overwrite String and type in SetLastError then click ok.
Now, STOP, and vary carefully look, you will see that it still shows rror at the end of Error. You want to click on the left in the hex area in the designated box for the firt letter that shouldn't be there. Then type in 00 for each letter that shouldn't be there. DO NOT DELETE THEM!
Now click search>find and click the hex string field. and enter in B1 B6 80 7C
Now replace these with 00 00 00 00
Now save the file as something other than rd2.exe . Then copy it into game dir name it back to rd2.exe after you have renamed the orignal.
Have FUN!!
SKUZZ YOU THE MAN!
I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR XP SP1 EDIT: WORKS FOR XPSP1 AND XPSP2. I don't know about 98se or winme though.

I see that there is also a link on gcw for this game. It says /win2k now. I haven't tried it because what I have works. It's just weird that reloaded didn't do this from the get go. They might have had their reasons or not. Either way. It's all good! :D
Just to make this complete (hopefully) you can remove the DVD Check by doing the following:
Find offset 000C8FA0 in the Reloaded RD2.EXE
Change the bytes starting at that address from:
81 EC 84 00
to
33 C0 40 C3
Only tested this NoDVD with the English/UK version DVD (I patched to v1.2) as that's the only version I own but it works for me, hope it works for others!
You could always use CodeFusion to make a patcher for people, since I dont have the game I cant make it.
CodeFusion is straight forward and you can tell it to patch coding in a file.
The "fixed thing" works fine with the german patched 1.2 file. I have to say BIG THANKS to all supporters, because my orginal DVD wont work since i've bought it (thanks starf....) . Now i can play it and thats why iam happy.
First by it, then try it. :)
Sorry for my bad english, greetings from germany.
@dede: My game asks for the 'CD' to be inserted when using the Reloaded crack so I just removed the check, thought others may have the same problem so I posted the info.
I got this message on a fresh install of TOCA2, patched to 1.2 and using the fixed RD2.EXE. I then tried the original reloaded crack on my already installed game and it didn't ask for the 'CD' so I think people will only see this with a 'fresh' install of the game!
On my system it works fine also with an "fresh installed" Game. No asking for an CD or else. (But my original Game is on DVD and not on CD)
German Greetings
:D The final nodvd win2k compatible file are available on GCW main page. Now all patch's are useless have fun. :cool:

Update the drivers of all components in your PC (motherboard, chipset, audio, video, Ethernet, IDE controller) to the the latest ones. There is a definite reason for BSOD's! :(
doesnīt work.
update your graphik card driver & check your ram copatibility with XP SP2, often the RAM chips are from to poor quality or incompatible with SP2.
Remove all ramdrive overclocking in your bios than work bether overclocked ram make many errors on XP SP2. don't use High performances setting in bios with SP2 if your ram is not high quality certified set to default or [by SPD] :D
If i look your hardware description (i sea you have P4 HT) probably (check your description manual) you need 100% certified dual compatible RAM & you need to use chips's from same manucturer and from same size NO differences between chips are supported by dual system's. Blue Screen are most time Ram compatibility problems & most time with Dual compatible system's. A simple help, remove after unplug the power cable, the second ram chips & test the game with only one chip if work, you have a ram compatibility problem. if don't work make the test with chip's 2 in dimm 1 alone :eek:

Hi,
I have problems with my Reloaded version game. :confused: I could'nt install the 1.2 patch 'cause, I received this error message:"Applying MODIFY File Patch for 'GameData\cars\int.big'
error ept0036: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was
found. No update done since file contents do not match.
----- Race Driver 2 Patch Finished -----

I tried to replace and copy the int.big, but its same as on the DVD. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times but I got same results.
Is it possible if this file in- my Program files -is modded already?
Please help!
Check the version number on the main menu screen, the patch will only patch v1.0 to v1.2.
Unfortunatelly I could not check the main menu, because the game doesnot work without the patch. As I mentioned I use the Reloaded version and the GCW has the crack. I also tried the ver1.0 patch and still exist my problem.
Please help
thx

Update the game FIRST & overvrite the ***.exe file with crack after the update it's all. Don't use the crack first because the update can not found a original ****.exe just found a crack they are same name as original but are not the old file.
Reinstall the game update it use the crack and play.:D

hi did u get toca working? and was the game pack hitlist2005? if so i had the same problems all i did was update to version 1.2 (patch was on the disc) then d-load the 2 files from gamecopyworld and follow the instructions that was there. the files are under tocs race driver 2 v1.2 (multi) no-cd patch by me (not me but some bloke called me lol) 17-10-2005 any more info please ask B
@bandit
all i did was update to version 1.2 (patch was on the disc)
Hmmm, you wont find a 1.2 update patch on the 'Retail' (purchased) disc!! :rolleyes: Brings me to ask, what disc are you talking about?
for those XP sp1 users who are still confused how to get past the "start game error" after using the 1.2 updater i used this file Win2kFix.and.NOCD from GCP.

@bandit
perhaps it is a later version release all i know it is a box of games called hitlist 2005
It must be a later realease, I have the Australian release (its called V8 Supercars over here but is exactly the same game as Toca 2) and I purchased it on the day it was released. The 1.2 update came out a few months later so I guess they now include it on the DVD. Personally I dont like to use the 1.2 update, as it smooths out some bumps in the Australian Bathhurst track, and I actually prefer the track with the bumps. It is more realistic with the real track without the v1.2 update. ;)
