Help With ToCA Race Driver 2

[Brodel]

I have Toca Race driver 2 on DVD, when it gets to the point where I need to enter the CD key it starts to check the disk and takes about 10minutes before it gets to the end and then says the key is invalid.

If I enter a different key that is wrong it tells me it's invalid in about 2 seconds, but with the right one the DVD it takes ages before it says it's invalid.

I have tried patching it and it didnt work and have tried all the no cd fixes I can find online and none of those work either.

Does anyone know what it might be? It's really annoying because I have the DVD right here with the right key etc it just refuses to accept it.

Thanks.

Is your original CD scratched badly?

[Brodel]

No, it's brand new. It came with one of those game packs you get when you buy computers sometimes, my friend had it and didnt play it once it so gave it to me still sealed.

[Brodel]

anyone have any other possible suggestions?

thanks

Or wait that some kind soul uploads Reloaded´s crack to gcw. Seems that it was released today

Reloaded's crack is for the 1.2 patch as well so you'd need to patch first.

from what i have read the reloaded crack only works with the reloaded rip of the game.

@bandit

all i did was update to version 1.2 (patch was on the disc)

Hmmm, you wont find a 1.2 update patch on the 'Retail' (purchased) disc!! Brings me to ask, what disc are you talking about?

for those XP sp1 users who are still confused how to get past the "start game error" after using the 1.2 updater i used this file Win2kFix.and.NOCD from GCP.

dont know, prehaps it is a later version release all i know it is a box of games called hitlist 2005 and it contains toca race driver 2 pc dvd game al well as others

@bandit

perhaps it is a later version release all i know it is a box of games called hitlist 2005

It must be a later realease, I have the Australian release (its called V8 Supercars over here but is exactly the same game as Toca 2) and I purchased it on the day it was released. The 1.2 update came out a few months later so I guess they now include it on the DVD. Personally I dont like to use the 1.2 update, as it smooths out some bumps in the Australian Bathhurst track, and I actually prefer the track with the bumps. It is more realistic with the real track without the v1.2 update.
