Hi

i have gotten the game to work with the fixed image( that is, the game launches, but right after the black screen with "2006 electronic arts" the game exits to desktop... anyone experiencing the same problem, i have new drivers, etc.

yes, the fixed image does the same thing that both cracks and the original image mounted in d-tools 4 did, and that is crashing after the first splash screen (the ea copywrite info). one of the cracks played the first two seconds of the audio for the next splash before crashing and actually giving me a crash notification instead of the straight to desktop action. quite frustrating... and apparently not universal.

well i really suc at backing up my stuff hehe ah hmm

any way i've downloaded a cloned version and loaded it in dt with no emulation crap, no blax, nothing. and it works like a charm. i'm about 22 hours into the game now with no probs.

the +7 trainer also works without a hitch.

well that is super interesting... can we can some other input from people who have it starting/crashing at startup? this is going to suck when its a problem with drivers or something--i'm using the modified for laptop newest nvidia update, perhaps i should try reverting to manufacturerer set? ACB what driver set are you using?

make sure you are replacing the EXE back with the Original one. and don't have the original file in compatibility mode

Guys, if the game crashes without a crack, too, you're experiencing some crack-UNrelated problem. Read the FAQ on what software components to check/update and contact the publisher for help (that's their damn duty! ).

joe, we know that, we're just troubleshooting the problem--and for those interested, my alienware 5500 is now starting the game just fine after reverting to their released driver set for my nvidia6600 so this error is a driver issue--no idea which drivers are affected, but it IS a driver issue, so rollback my children, roll BACK.
and now i'm off to play (using fixed img btw, which works)
