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

I did same as you wrote but I could not finish even the upgrade, as before. I did not use the c::::k,
and the upgrade is finished with:
[COLOR="Magenta"]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 -----
Error code: 36"
[/COLOR]

Maybe, the int.big file is the reason of the error

Can somebody send it or something...

pls help

Make a new copy and reinstall

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
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.

dont know, prehaps it is a later version release all i know it is a box of games called hitlist 2005 and it contains toca race driver 2 pc dvd game al well as others

@bandit
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. ;)

DAMN, and I thought that the reason for me being able to do ONE DAMN LAP on Bathurst at reasonable speed and without crashing the car very badly was that I finally managed to learn to control the cars properly...! :D
