star wars weirdness

[luvthegames]

hey guys this is a bit weird
I have star wars empire at war
had the crack in and using the no cd
but now when i go to play it
it comes up with the first screen then back to windows
I've only got the 1.02 patch in...
should i put the newer patch in with the newer crack?
if so do you just put the new patch in on top of the other
thanks for any help guys

Is the game working when you use your original disc without a crack?
Do you have a original disc?

[luvthegames]

yeah I just tried it with the disc
it works fine
I'm wondering what the 1.04 patch does
does it make the game go a bit faster does anyone know?
sometimes when theres heaps goin on the screen
it slows up heaps
is this normal?

Apply the 1.04 official update and see it for yourself; use the original disc until a (proper) crack is released for the 1.04 version; see the official support forum or ask the publisher, if the problem is still there when using the original disc.
