Mafo Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 For anyone who is having the game crash problem with owner mode, for whatever reason, I believe I have found a fix. To start, I think the problem is when you try to play with a NoCD fix, and in specific, the HOODLUM release. Uninstall the game, reinstall the game, and rather than using just any NoCD crack, go to www.gamecopyworld.com and get the Maniac/Madman crack. Follow the directions on the site (mount the .iso you download) and it should hopefully fix the crash problems for you as it did me. I also suggest getting official patches before doing this, as once you edit the .exe you will no longer be able to patch it using EA's system. (edit: I actually don't know if the exe is even being edited, but the crack is for version 1.0, so maybe it won't even work with any updates? someone else can test and figure this one out) Hope this fixes anyones owner mode crash problems, enjoy!

Pirate Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Bah! Buy the darn game, or get off your **** and switch CD's. And don't give me that poop about not wanting to scratch the CD. I have been using CD's since their inception and never scratched a PC-CD game before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcmac Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Bah! Buy the darn game, or get off your **** and switch CD's. And don't give me that poop about not wanting to scratch the CD. I have been using CD's since their inception and never scratched a PC-CD game before. You must be a neat freak. Mine are always scratched, mostly cause I throw the cd's everywhere. I usually don't use CD cracks unless I play 4 or 5 games at a time, which I usually don't....I am only playing MVP right now..... Pirates are bad!! :twisted: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafo Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 I bought mine, but don't actually have a CD drive in my comp (too many HD's) so I had to install over a network and rather than running it off a different computer I like to use a NoCD fix, it makes it faster to load. Some people who legally purchase do use NoCD fixes legitimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafo Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'd believe you if I didn't screw it up the first time myself either. Read the instructions on the page, you mount the .iso not extract it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafo Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Like I said, it's worked for me and several other people. Why don't you just try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlguy26 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Mafo, what I see under MVP on gcw is a MadMan/Magnetic rls of a crack but it's specifically for the clone, there are 2 images to mount. The last release on the bottom is for the Hoodlum release which requires no mounting. That's the same file that's on the cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlguy26 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Ok Mafo, I figured it out. You mount the mini cd and use it as a crack and it worked. I never used alcohol before but it worked. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verk Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The .mds backup mini cd file from gameburnworld works. That's only if you wish to use daemon tools. I bought the Game and the mini backup image works good. It's not a Crack, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
