There are several NoCD exe's by Reloaded for GRAW, one for 1.0, and there's also one for 1.02 floating around.
I'm completely unable to start the game on my system with CD 1 in the drive, but the the Reloaded 1.02 NoCD works fine and I was able to get the pre-patched game going in both SP and MP on servers without issue.
Now the 1.06 patch is completely unplayable, my GRAW CD just sits in the drive and spins and nothing happens, I put the Reloaded 1.02 NoCD exe on in the 1.06 patched game and it starts fine -- but it versions the game as 1.02 making it unplayable on servers -- go figure.
I've tried the mini CD's even tried making my own mini image from my original GRAW CD with MIR and of couse using SecuROM Loader (and a few other SecuROM tools) to no avail -- can't start the game...
My only hope appears to be if Reloaded or someone else makes a new NoCD for 1.06 (and any future patches) or if Ubisoft and GRIN wise up and do what Epic did with UT and after the games sales have peaked release a patch that integrates NoCD....
In the mean time I've returned the game -- and will wait till this crap is ironed out... Quite a bummer as I was really excited about this game...
Anyone know if any other NoCD's for GRAW are in the works or planned by anyone?
