You obviously misunderstand. They ARE the same game, they just either have different versions of Starforce installed, or Starforce is installed differently, but, the game is the same.

Has anyone managed to get the 'no cd' hack to work properly with the U.S. version of SR2? I've tried a few re-installs, but swapping the hacked .exe file always leads to a crash before the game even gets underway.

Any thoughts?

I have a U.S. English version of the game, with a 1.3 build. There doesn't yet appear to be a no-cd fix for this version. Any idea if one will be forthcoming?

RincewindTheWiz has cracked his 'Crystal Ball' so now non of us here have any idea when!!! Our psychic abilities have been drained!

We dont make the cracks they are sent in by various members who just happen to find them somewhere on the net!

Thought I'd check back in, but I see that a new no-cd hack still isn't available. Is anyone playing this 1.3 build of the U.S. release? Anyone managed to bypass the Starforce protection yet? Or is everyone playing with the cd in the drive?
