Is there a NO-CD for this yet?

I have your problem too.

Have you guys tried to use the original CD in the drive to test that it works with that atleast ?

I have no problem with the Patch 2.1.1, but then again, I'm using the original CD in the drive when I play. And it's a great great game. Really looking forward to the new data update to get the latest rosters.

you have us version ?

those that can't run it i believe have the original Uk verision, - myself included, we can't run the game unless someone creates a mds file for UK 2.11.

Can't you just use the original CD in the mean time before someone comes up with a way to play without it ?

yeah i know, but like i said before, i use an ultraportable laptop that requires a USB CDR to run cd's, i find it quite annoying to carry the extra cd reader around, as its almost 1/2 the weight of my laptop (1.2kg) :(

update - btw i found out that the new patch fixes everything, those with UK version, just install fully, update to 2.12, then mount mds and it should work
