As I did 4 days ago !

It dosen´t work:( then i´ve changed the .mds files from the FileArchive with them from my Image and try again but then the game dosn´t start (plese insert the right DVD)

Would you please post the exact Securom error message + code ?

I am running R2 with a full Alcohol image + the mds of the MAXI; no problems

P.S.: I wasn't able to create a working MAXI, too. Don't have a clue what Securom is looking for at this title. As far as i can see all needed sectors are in the image, but when loading a savegame -> "Insert R2 DVD" :confused:

Maybe it is not a cd check by securom but by runaway 2 itself like in runaway 1 :)

Insert Runaway 2 DVD
 

I have exactly the same problem like Homer Jay. I can start the game with the fixed image from gcw but if I want to start a new game there is the message " Please Insert Runaway 2 -DVD" . Can´t someone program a NoDVD Crack? I mean there is one for Gothic 3 which has TAGES and there isn´t one for a game which has "only" SecuROM?????;) Would be nice if you could help me...Thx

Excuse my english, i´m german^^

Securom 7.29 seems to be a little harder to crack.

The french nocd doesn't work...when you save your game and change screen, you exit to windows directly...

If you launch R2 and then try to load the saved game...same reaction !

No problem until you try to save....

I saw that Reloaded released a crack for the english version, and that it has Tages protection. Have anyone tried that with the french version?

well, tried on german version. does not work. should be same on french version.
seems to me to be a problem with the bublisher-video, because if it tries to play it, it always crashes at that moment (also with french nocd).

I dont have the german version，but I have the english version.
The english version will check file(s) in disk when it run.
I think the german version also need check file.
so i create another maxi-image, it fixed from bended's maxi-image and english version image.

i dont test the maxi-image, because i only have english version.

maby it can be worked.

- Install the game - Full Installation
- Mount the ns-Runaway2_maxi-poseden.mds Image in Daemon Tools v4.08
- Run YASU 1.03/1.04
- Play the Game!

i am not sure the method is right, because i only have english version

I looked at reloadeds English crack and think if you change bytes at offset 0x00015CC0 in the file from 81 EC 08 02 to 33 C0 40 C3 it may make it NoDVD, It might crash it too but it looked about the right place for the DVD check :)

Can't test as the UK version is not released till the middle of next month, I think Canada and Australia have English versions in stores now, lucky bastards :(

Ok, today I got this game started!!! This is for the german users:
To get the game started:

1. Download an unpack the fixed image from gamecopyworld.
2. Now start the game using Daemon Tools 4.08 (you need two Virtual Drives) and Yasu 1.04.
3. When you're asked for the "Runaway 2 DVD", press the "Windows-Key" (next to the "Alt" Key. Now the game should be minimized to the tray.
4. Now its time to load the image from which you installed "Runaway 2" into the other Virtual Drive. (Alternatively you can put your Backup-DVD into a drive.)
5. Now you click on "Runaway 2" in your taskbar to maximize it again.

Now the game loads and you can play the game!!!! Have fun!!!!!!!

P.S.: It is exactly what poseden said - the german game checks some files or one file (I don't know) on the games dvd. When you mount the "Installer Image" after the game has started (as described above) the game will continue!

No need to Alt+Tab when using two virtual drives, first vdrive: Bender image, second: Poseden

P.S.: ... and no need to have two drives/images when using full image ;)

@Poseden
Your 44(+10) sectors-image doesn't pass Securom check (though mds is the same), "only" ingame check.
What are they looking for :confused:

I dont know！i dont have german version, so i dont know the german version how to work.
If must mount 2 images, then not need my maxi-image, only a "45 sectors mini-image" is ok.

Yes, a "45 sector MINI" does pass ingame check :)

Just to sort that out as a reason why your MAXI doesn't pass Securom check: The 45 sectors are identical in german and UK version
