City Racer No CD.....

[LabShark]

I have purchased 2 (count 'em two) copies of ths game at our local CompUSA. I have tried the game on 3 different computers with 2 different Operating Systems and 5 different optical drives. Game will not run because it cannot find the CD. Yet - it installs fine from the same CD and drive.

I'd love to be able to play the game and UbiSoft has been no help. In fact the game isn't even on their own website.

If anybody has a NO-CD crack - please let me know. I'd even create it myself if I knew how.

Thanks!

You could try Alcohol120%, unless it's starforce 3 protected, you can make a hard disk image and mount that.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting idea. But if the program CD is screwed - won't the image be screwed as well?

Not necessarily. It happens all the time that you can make an image and use that, yet the cd won't play in the real cd drive. Usually because of incompatibilities between the copy protection and the cd drive in question. Just try A120%, you can download a free timelimited version. Once you have the image made, you can also mount it with the free Daemon Tools, but try it in A120% first to see if it works.

PS I could try explaining WHY this would work while the real cd rive wouldn't, but I've got a nasty headache and will probably hit the sack after this
