You are playing Version 1.10 !!
You can see the Version "1.12" in the starting window, when you updated it correctly.
The cracked exe is only for Version 1.10.
You have the data2.pak from version 1.12 but it is not supported by the Version 1.10 EXE. It means, the changes dont take effect.
But dont worry, the savegames are compatible.
I am sorry for the bad news...
But if you follow my instructions VERY CLOSE (in the Topic called "Arx Fatalis"), then you will be able to play Arx Fatalis version 1.12
Everybody I know can play it with daemon tools (so why you shouldnt be able to do it ?).
@ in utero
I dont understand, why you play the old version, allthough have have the original backup ?
I dont know why it takes so long for the NOCD 1.12 to come out...
The NOCD for 1.10 raised quite quick
But there is a little sunlight at the end of the tunnel:
You can read more details on the Website of Daemon Tools about Securom New V2 !
And there is a new daemon tools Version out ( brings it to 3.17). Lets see, if the mounted image starts the first time with the new daemon tools Version (instead of 2nd or 3rd time with Version 3.16).
