Wont work with patched version,has to be original.If you have patched you will need to reinstall game AND use starforce removal tool.Patch makes some changes to starforce to prevent lan work-around.Cunning Codemasters.

i had a previous problem withfarcry and UT2k4 dvds

i think my nforce2 mboard & my sata were the culprits.

when u use sata it installs a scsi / virtual driver like daemon tools and alcohol 120%

i was thinking though (with starforce) in the previous post in this thread ppl kept talking about how it checks or modifies the ide driver

since i use sata for my hard drives and use my cdrom on the ide channel would thiis procedure still work with out the 1.2 patch

thanks for letting everyone know about a work around

nope i have a raid with sata ..... doesn't fool sarforce ....... hope thats what u ment ..... game runs fine with 1.0 and 1.1 though -don't know a way to make 1.2 work without o-cd ...(yet ^^)

@baumdoktor:

Your RAID must be configured with ATAPI support. IDE connected through will pass SF guard system. Anyway, there MUST not to be ANOTHER IDE drive connected.

Good luck!

i know talking about toca 2 is very touchy in these forums as far as asking (the any news yet) thats why i wont ask it (even though i would like to)

what i would like to ask however; is there a place we can talk about it or a special forum area for that kind of discusiion?

thanks

About the mini image. I was having trouble getting it to work with the euro version but a bit of poking about in the registry and got it working Here is what to do

1: First u have to get the USA Serial (search and u will find)

2: Run Regedit and find key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CODEMASTERS\RACEDRIVER 2

3: Goto RACEDRIVER2 tab and modify your EURO key for USA key

4: Modify SKU tab from Euro to USA.

5:Play the game

before u use this follow mini image instrusions first.

!!!DO NOT PM ME LOOKING FOR THE SERIAL!!!

Okay, I already asked about this in another thread, but got no response-
anyway: Is there any method to disable your IDE Drives other than unplugging it (no option since playing on a Laptop)?
I already tried savely removing it in Win and disabling IDE adapter in Sytem BIOS- no effect since the machine is running WinXP which recognizes the Drive nonetheless.
Any suggestions would be welcome...

The "StarForce fixed image trick" doesn't work for all systems, I have discovered that on some computer it fails. Does anybody know why?

On Megagames.com
In the Forum Crack/Patch Locator Look for the Posts, in 2 of the posts ive included a Mini Image for the German DVD.

It won't run:
1. If youve Made an Minimal Installation
2. If youre using a wrong Image
( Theres a USA Version ; A EUR Versin; ANd a GER Version out)

get the right Miniimage on Emule if you don't know how else get them...
Have Fun
