myst 3 exile no cd does not work!!!!!!!!

I did a full install of the game and ran the crack in the bin folder just like it said it did not prompy me for the cd at start but once in the game i click on new game and it tells me to put the cd in the drive? Is this a full no cd version or just bypasses the startup no cd #####? if that is the case anyone know if they will be releasing a full no cd crack with a 2.2 gig full install i would have to think all the files the game needs are on the drive.

I found the same problem. Since my cd is assigned the letter "J", i can't play the game at all. I had hoped GCW would release a fix soon, but alas, it does not work. Maybe it does work if your cd drive has a letter of "H" or below as the original requires.

I noticed also that the "fixed" EXE is the exact same size as the original. This is usually not the case with a fixed .exe file. Perhaps the "cracker" rushed it a little on this one.

Hopefully a fix that works will be released soon. If you find one, I would appreciate an email letting me know about it.

The Ubisoft programmers really screwed up on this one, assuming that no one would ever have a cd drive with an assigned letter higher than "H". And I doubt if they are in any hurry to fix it since the group of people it affects would represent such a small segment of their sales.

Fortunately, I bought my copy from EB and I can easily get a refund.

UBISOFT..... Next time, get it right to start with.

This version just by passes the CD ##### I beleive. I downloaded it and it works fine for me, The game still needs to read the CD once it starts up. It just skips the CD ##### in the begining

can anyone help me? I dont have the noCD for Myst III. I would like to run the Myst III without using the CD at all, my DVD drive has problems recognizing switching disks (it may need to be cleaned but I'm not sure) so i did the full install. But It still asks for the CD. Please email me if you can help. THanks, Ern

All of this is very useful if you have a burner...
What about those of us who don't and only have access to the myst 3 disks for a limited amount of time???

When is someone going to release a HDD only patch for this game?

ummester,
there is a HDD patch only--just released yesterday on GCW. You'll need to do the full install (over 2Gig)and with the patch you'll be able to play without using the disk

BOT is on a distinguished road
It is NOT a no-cd crack anyway.

Ern,

Try as i might the only Myth 3 file I can find at GCW is the fixed exe?
Where is this elusive nocd run from hdd file that you claim exhists?

I can bring up a link to Myst 3 on the game index but every time I click on it I go back to the search engine at cd media world???

Spose I'll just leave Myst 3 on the hdd till I can actually play it. 2.2GB, just sitting there...
