Republic Commando not working
 

I installed republic commando and have tried every no-cd patch I can find. But none of them work. I load the launcher, click to play, it comes up with the republic commando screen; then it begins in full screen, just black. Then it crashes and gives me some error report. I have tried this with both pcgame's no-cd patch and vengeance's. My drivers are all up to date and I have the latest directx, I don't understand what is going on with this. Somebody please help me.

Do a 'search' of the forums as there are now a few threads concerning this game! Start with this one! ;)

Is the game working, when you use your original cds without a crack?

i've read that thread and the game does work with my original cd's.

I was having the same problem and came across the solution at lucasarts' forums. Your problem is not the cracks, it is the game. For some reason the logo movies that play at the beginning are not playing correctly. Here is the fix:

(copied and pasted from a german site)

After Double-Clicking on the Star Wars Republic Commando-Icon and clicking on "Start Game" the game crashes and the desktop comes up.

It seems the videos from nvidia and lucasarts were the problems. So you should do following things:

1. Go to Directory "installDir/GameData/movies/"
2. Copy the files "LECIntro.avi" and "NVIDIAIntro.avi" to another Backup-Directory
3. Delete the both files from the directory "installDir/GameData/movies/"
4. Try to start the game
5. Perhaps this will be fix the problems at startup

Looks more like a codec problem if the AVI files are not playing than a crack problem!

Try one of the codec packages here:

Hi guys,

If you're having problems with codecs, grab GSpot from http://www.headbands.com/gspot . It can tell you A) what codec a given movie is using, B) what codecs are installed on your system, C) if there are any problems with the codecs installed and D) it tries to play the movie and tell you if something went wrong. Nice software!

but i can successufully go to the stary up and open a profile, but as soon as t"the begining" is loaded the programme jump back to window desktop, an d

a mini window coming out saying the exe. has had a great problem and the xp close it, i try all no cd, and i even try the demo, same problem after loading , in stead of enter the battlefront, it jump out

by the way my 3d card , is mmx440 and don't support pixel shader, so is it the problem?

Yes I would say your graphics card is the problem! The mmx440's are not much good when it comes to the latest games! ;)

Run the game from the shortcut and click the 'Help' button then click the 'Analyze Your Computer' button, this will run the System Checker and tell you if your card or anything else is compatible with the game.

This game REQUIRES Pixel Shader 1.1, which your card DOES NOT support, so Grumpy is correct, your card is the problem!

BTW, your card has an MX440, not MMX440 GPU :)

I was reading the lucas art forums of this game and seems al lot of users are having crashes with is game even with better cards than geforce mx it seems to have a lot of bugs

i did not have one single problem with swrc. saw the epilog/credits after only 3 evenings of playing. :( could've been a bit longer if you ask me......but i'm sure theres a sequel on the way.... ;)

don't use the shortcut the game installs,make a new shortcut from the actual no cd that you copy n paste over..ie from the rep commando exe itself

the same thing happens to me but nothing happens..the beggining load fully then it just stops and i have 2 turn the computer off and when i turn it back on it says error caused by your graphics card..btw its a radeon 9000 which is meant 2 b supported by the game

Try this work for me, remember #4.
