Just patch RLD's fixed EXE and play finally w/o CD & image.

I have exactly done all this and the game still does NOT start!
I copied the "RD2.exe" from the RELOADED-crack for version 1.2 to my game directory! Then I applied the CRASH FIX for this crack from MegaUpload.com and patched the crack! But I still get the error message "RD2.exe has caused an error and has to be closed." Thats the same what I also get when I do NOT patch the crack! ORIGINAL DVD works fine!
Any ideas??? By the way I am using "Windows XP Home Edition with SP1"!

Also for me. Don't works with XP SP1
I think that RLD has decrypted the game under XP SP2 and not tested with SP1.

yeh service pack 2 only....funny things in most starforce based games (espeacilly codemasters) it states that service pack 2 is essential.

so running it on service pack 1 is like running it below minimum specs.

Damn, I don't want to update my XP to SP2 because of the incompatibility to older games! I heard that most of the older games do not work with XP with SP2!

Is there no other solution??? I would really appreciate having the chance to play this game without DVD finally, but like I already said I don't want "XP - SP2" on my computer!

Another Question: Is the crack really a NO-DVD FIXED EXE or is it only a BACKUP-DVD FIXED EXE??? When it is only a BACKUP-DVD-CRACK it's senseless for me, because then I can also put in my ORIGINAL-DVD in the same time!

Well I used the hex editor and made the the change from Restore to Get. I then made sure that the 00 was at the end. I then saved it copied it over to the installed dir. and tried it. Now I get RD2.exe is not a valid win32 application.

There is a way to make this work. I just don't understand why the people that say that they have it working on win2k can't just put up a link to the modded rd2.exe? Or msg me and I'll host it. Or send it to gcw and they will host it. Either way this should be out there.

what older games monty? everything works on my pc that i own all my old windows 95 games,some aquire dos box,like they did on sp1.

theres alot of myths about sp2,dont believe the hype.

and even so,you can uninstall it if you dont like it.(sp2)

but honestly try it and see,i bet all your games run exactly the same.

Alot of mad people who dont run SP2, not only are you open from various worms, SP1 was buggy as hell.
