first try of conversion i updated to 1.0.0.17-22-28-29 then reencode the maxpayne3
the 2nd dvd exceeded the dvd5 size so i started again the conversion from update 10017-10022, all the conversion fits dvd5. then i started installing the converted dvds then i started to see the connection error. i imediately uninstall the converted dvd & try the dvd9, the dvd9 installation works fine. i started to re-encode again with only 10017 update and integrate the fix file in the conversion, same connection error found. the nxt move i did reencode again and only integrate 10017 no fix file same result again.
last conversion i did is reencode only the dvd9 contents no updates or whatsoever the result is same no connection error again. but everytime i tried the dvd9 the game works fine.
right now i'm installing dvd9 & the converted dvds MP3 in 2 different drives then i will compare all the files to see if they're identical.
thanks
ok here's result, the dvd9 & 4xdvd5 installed in 2 different drives works fine.
i tried to export their registry settings to see if there's a difference in two MP3.
the dvd9 has this extra key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Rockstar Games]
"Installed Applications"="1"
i deleted the registry settings made by 4xdvd5 and import the one from dvd9, i just change the program path for the 4xdvd5.
then i run both games, they worked just fine & the no connection error are gone.
the nxt thing i did is uninstall maxpayne3 in the control panel. there are 2 maxpane3 in the list now, i forgot to look at the registry to see which one is dvd9. then i moved the dvd9 maxpayne in other directory to prevent the uninstall of dvd9, then i uninstall 1 of the maxpayne3. maybe the one i have left is the 4xdvd5 maxpayne3. then i uninstall again the 2nd maxpayne3.
i moved back to program files rockstar games again the dvd9 version then import the registry settings from dvd9, i just change again the path to match the maxpayne3 location & now the dvd9 version has the no connection error now. i was thinking that the original dvd9 has a file that's not included in the 4xdvd5 conversion, so when u uninstall the dvd9 it will also affect the 4xdvd5.
right now i just want to know the complete uninstall list of the dvd9 maxpayne3, maybe it would help to fix that issue.
is there anyone who could tell me where to find it?
thanks in advance
