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.

[MontyBurns1985]

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.

[DABhand]

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

[god_mode]

I tried this again. Just like how you showed and it still doesn't work, now it says GetLastError not found in kernel32.dll instead of RestoreLastError.

Yes, please someone make a working rd2.exe for win2k and upload it. or place a link here so everyone that wants it can grab it.

Thanks!

[MontyBurns1985]

Could someone please make a proper NO-DVD-CRACK for version 1.2 of "DTM Race Driver 2" that works on all Windows operating systems, like "Windows XP with SP1"?!

[god_mode]

Why is it that everyone offers work arounds instead of a solution for the problem? You guys are just as bad as the programmers. Make shifty software that is buggy or doesn't work on all platforms. Then instead of giving or providing a valid solution your instead just talk about work arounds and what people "should" do.

I run win2k, If it doesn't work and I tried to make it work then screw it. I'm not going to format and reinstall over some groups half assed crack that doesn't work on all platforms. I will however install vmware and install xp-sp2 and then run this game. Just to see if it works.

Are you paying anything to either members of this forum or the crackers making no-CD patches? Obviously, no. So why do you think you have the right for any kind of support here, for that matter? Don't demand, don't whine; rather, be happy and thankful if you get help of any kind.

By the way, have you noticed that, because of Starforce 3.x, currently there are only workarounds but no "clean" no-CD patches as before? But if you're as smart as you think you are, you'd better start learning assembly and the Windows API and making proper no-CD patch yourself!

How about this Joe, Here is my contrabution. intead of bitchin'!

Here is a walk through.

*reloaded* no/cd (RD2.exe)
XVI32 Hex editor

Open up the RD2.exe in the hex editor.

Then click search and find. Type in RestoreLastError into the text field. click search.

Then Edit>Overwrite String and type in SetLastError then click ok.

Now, STOP, and vary carefully look, you will see that it still shows rror at the end of Error. You want to click on the left in the hex area in the designated box for the firt letter that shouldn't be there. Then type in 00 for each letter that shouldn't be there. DO NOT DELETE THEM!

Now click search>find and click the hex string field. and enter in B1 B6 80 7C

Now replace these with 00 00 00 00

Now save the file as something other than rd2.exe . Then copy it into game dir name it back to rd2.exe after you have renamed the orignal.

Have FUN!!

SKUZZ YOU THE MAN!

I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR XP SP1 EDIT: WORKS FOR XPSP1 AND XPSP2. I don't know about 98se or winme though.
