GRID v1.2 [MULTI5] No-DVD/Fixed EXE

[nando2002]

DABhand, even Codemasters doesn't know why the game crashes on some machines.

In my PC the game crashes sometimes. Usually after finish the race (when the game is going to loading the next race or returning to the garage).
The console version also has some faults.
A good game with a good engine but 10,000+ files (with compressed data inside) in 1000+ folders must be too much for the game.

What worries me more is the fact they're going to use the same engine in the new F1 game.

Myself and a few members of our Gaming Clan play GRID. A few of us had nothing but trouble getting this game to work or keeping the game running using our original DVD's.
The NoCD cracks are more trouble than they are worth, they cause more crashes than using the orginal disc! A few of the clan members tried to say the v1.2 cracked exe by battery was working for them but sure enough just after they said that the game crashed for them. :P

What has worked for us is mounting a mini image into a more recent version of Daemon Tools. Game runs like a dream for me this way.
I am using Daemon Tools Pro v4.10.0218.0, no need for Y.A.S.U or anything else, just mount a mini image and play.

sounds a lot like the problems I had to get CMiRT runnig (also based on the same engine)

I finally opted for a clean install because I couldn't get comfortable with DiRT crashing all the time (sometimes hanging at loading screens, sometimes during races) it was weird and unsolvable.

so.. clean install for the win!

(I have absolutely no problem running DiRT and GRiD after my clean install)

Hi all,

Sorry I didnt reply earlier (I thought I had it set to notify me of replies). The game is legitimately downloaded (I paid £24 for the bloody thing so I wouldnt have to treck to town) through Metaboli. I think the problem here is 3 fold, 1 the game is shakey as hell - codemasters, two its been downlaoded bia a third party - metaboli and 3 its got insane copy protection on it. I havent had an answer from metaboli yet. I got an answer from Securrom saying the log file I sent then said it was working fine : / I'll ask Codemasters soon but I think they will be next to useless and it seems the porblem is securoms.
