Colin McRae 2005 DVD-ULTiMA is running NOW!!!
 

Hi!

i had yesterday the same problem as many other people too. i can´t start the game. then i found a importend message here => Message Link

the message from the russian site
################################################## #
################################################## #
i have start the game on the "cmd" under WinXP with the following command.
CMR5.EXE NOVIDEO.
and the game started!!!

sorry for my very bad english!!!

have a lot of fun

i am soo happy now^^

i have Nero Reloaded 6.6.0.3 with NeroVision Express 3.

Can you please post the ultima no-dvd files? I don't want to download 3.4 Gb....

here, still no luck ,
sez :

"Please insert cd #5 in the drive"

mounted with alcohol, no chance to start it.

dunno what's happen ...

cheers.

works fine here m8 thx
:D
but the polishe langauge is dificult :(
who wil translate the option graphic and sound for me :p

Where do you got this polish version from?

Hope you don't becuase that's illegal!

I solved teh crash problem!
 

You have to use the polish patch! But!! Before installing the polish patch, go to the "DATA" directory in colin2005 directory, and copy the "STRINGS" directory to somewhere. Now you can run the polish patch. After that, you have to copy the "STRINGS" dir, that you copied before, to the original place ("DATA" directory), and when you asked, you have to overwrite every file. Run the game now, and it will work, with english language, and no crashes!!!!

So you ask, what is the problem, with the ulitma-dvd version? Well, there is something **** in the font files. So the plish patch changes the fonts to good version. Thats all pals!

Bye

Romero

I have tried the above method.
Still crashes.

I can get into Career mode and service area fine after Polish patch installs.
However if I then copy the STRINGS folder over and run it, it's in English again but crashes the game at the service area again.

Any other ideas?

PC84 from the isonewz forum post a lang fix that worked.Here's the link:
http://img32.exs.cx/img32/9946/wholee8ho.jpg

right click on the link and choose "save target as" and rename the file to
Whole_E.Lng and save it in your Colin McRae Rally 2005\data\Strings folder and click yes to overwrite the file.

Thanks to PC84 and maybe to unknown others that found the fix.

Many thanks, this appears to have cured it.
Off to grab the steering wheel and test :)

:D thx eng. now :D and not one chrashes

Sorry but... where do you find the polish patch?? I don't find it....
Thanks.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Good and bad news about the Ultima crack
 

Bad news :mad: : I've downloaded the "Colin McRae Rally 2005 v1.0 [ALL] Fixed EXE" from GCW. It's absolutely non-working ! A launcher which launches nothing, the car setup bug is here... These guys understands nothing about the Ultima crack, which is good !

Good news :) : I've sent to GCW a working version of this Ultima crack, without the car setup bug, but only for the english and french 1.0 version of CMR5.

Bonjour chez vous,

Ma Pomme

Theres No Solution For European Versions???
 

:mad: I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, IT STARTS LOADING AND NOTHING HAPPENS, IM VERY REALLY ANGRY.

SOLUTION:YOU NEED TO HAVE ENGLISH OR FRENCH VERSION ONLY????
I HAVE THE EUROPEAN VERSION :mad:

PLEASE IF SOMEBODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO TO RUN THIS "FOU!"#%&#" GAME IN EUROPEAN VERSION PLEASE HELP US.

:mad:

crack works and game to
 

no problem with the car setup in the game. you must change 1 file from jinsatoemo post
it's working :p

@Mapomme
Thanks for the info on the Colin Mcrae Crack currently available on GCW. You just saved me from downloading a 26meg waste of time! I will wait til Empire hosts the version you have sent in. Til then I shall continue to play with the original disc. ;)

Please Help!
 

I have the same problem!Have you fixed it?What can i do?
www.t6t4p2.tk

The isntaller was crap and the colin.exe does not work!
I have the same problem.
This crack SuXX
:mad:

hi! mery chrismas to all's what this new crack on GCW? Their dosn't work because it's wrong composition of files to have a working file composition you need the CMR5.exe (they are missing) the protect.dll (they are correct) and the fixed Whole_E.Lng (Located in date string folder, they are not fixed and by car setup will crash) hope can help someone, all other files are no needet and comming from installer, nobody need polish language. have fun and if you like this game play with original CD in atemp to a corect releaze. :D

CMR05 crack not wkg
 

Hi, I have read all the posts, and done everything that everyone suggests, plus all the possible combinations of files/folders and Polish patches, but the game won't start. I get the "protection is being fooled" screen, but then nothing, it just stays on the desktop. What am I doing wrong? or is this "crack" NFG?

The Conclusion Is....
 

THERE ISN'T ANYBODY IN THIS WORLD PLAYING CMR2005, NEITHER TOCA RACE DRIVER 2, NEITHER OBSCURE WHIT A NO DVD - NO CD PATCH :mad:

ALL CMRAE NO DVD - NO CDS ARE FAKE AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT A LONG LONG TIME TO PLAY USING THEM.

REALLY TO ALL TO PEOPLE THAT POST PATCHES PLEASE: MAKE SURE THAT THEY WORK AND DONT POST GARBAGE.

:mad:

no no no ! this games works great for me and toca race driver 2 too !
if you can't run this game probably you have a problem with your graphic drivers or something like that ! If you have correctly replaced whole_e.lng AND removed nero video codec the game must works.

Perhaps you can ?
 

You are absolutely right :) . I've sent these 3 files to GCW, together with a fourth file (Whole_F.Lng for the french language).

here is the Readme of the package I've sent :

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Colin McRae 2005 [Version 1.0 DVD English-French] Working Fixed exe
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch from Ultima is an "AnyCD": when the game is patched, you
must put *any* CD in your CD-DVD reader - an audio CD works very well.
Here is how to do :

First, install the game BUT DO NOT LAUNCH IT !

Second, copy the files CMR5.exe and Protect.dll of this package in
the main folder of the installed game, replacing the existing ones.
Then copy the two files Whole_E.Lng and Whole_F.Lng from the
\Data\Strings folder of this package in the \Data\Strings folder
of the installed game, replacing the existing ones.

The first time you launch the game, it will install some drivers
and reboot. After that, you must give the serial number, put any
CD in your CD-DVD reader, and start the game. That's all.

If you want the game in french language, just switch the two files
Whole_E.Lng and Whole_F.Lng by switching their names.

If you want a faster launch, just modify the name of six files in the
\Data\Videos folder: final.wmv, final_l.wmv, sting.wmv, sting_l.wmv,
twimtbp.wmv and twimtbp_l.wmv.

All the credits and thanks must go to Ultima who made the crack.

PS: if you have a black screen after launching the game, you must
uninstall Nero 6.6 (a video filter hacked with ASProtect, what a pity !).

---------------------------------------------------------------

Empire told me he don't have received the package I've sent. Perhaps you can send it also ?

Joyeux Noel,

Ma Pomme

my problem is that i have both european versions of cmrae5 y toca 2, what a sh#$&$%

can i do something about it? :(

Use FileForums
 

The Ultima crack + the good language files works for the european version of CMR5 :) , and the mini-image + Starfock works for the european versions of Toca 2 :) . Use the search feature of FileForums and read the threads.

Joyeux Noel,

Ma Pomme

SO WHERE DO I GET DE CMR5.EXE FILE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE USERS: DIDI AND MA POMME SAID THAT YOU NEED TO REPLACE THAT FILE TOO.

THANKS. :cool: :confused:

anyone have the pass to the cdd file in the Colin McRae Rally 2005 v1.0 [ALL] Fixed EXE?

In the rar archive on gamecopyworld there isn't cmr5.exe!!

Yes there isnt.
I observed it.Also it doesnt work with dvd version.
If i'm right.What i must do?

the CMR5.EXE has been added, but most likely this is exactly the same as the original (I can not check this). The filedates of the files which were modified by ULTIMA were all 12-dec-04, the filedate of the CMR5.EXE is 6-oct-04...

@ Ma Pomme

I checked the mail logs but your email, contianing the file, never arrived. Can you resend it or put it up on a (free) website or something so I can get it

Working Ultima Crack : here it is !!!
 

It was really too irritating. :mad:

You will find here a :) WORKING :) version of the Ultima Crack, 2 files :

http://ezshare.de/files-en/234222/A7C.exe.html
http://ezshare.de/files-en/234401/XY5.exe.html

Two files to download, which are Rar archives.
Caution there is a password.

THE PASSWORD IS : ULTIMA (all in UPPERCASE).

This version works for the english and french 1.0 DVD version of CMR5.

Please tell me here if you got it, and if it works.

Happy Christmas,

Bonjour chez vous,

Ma Pomme

So That Leaves Me Again Behind Because I Have European Version Of Cmrae.

:( I Think I'll Have To Quit The Battle And Wait For An European Patch.

:( In The Meantime Im Going To Work On Patching Obscure And Toca Race Driver 2

Thanks MaPomme ;)

I'm playing the french DVD version 1.0, and it's working.
I've got the nero bug, so i launch the EXE with the "novideo" in the shortcut.
I swap the english and french lng, so i can play in french and there is no bug in the car setup...

Good job. :cool:

CMR Patch WORKS
 

I set it up as the post says, using the links to the 2 files, AND IT ALL WORKS!
No more fiddling with the DVD.
BUT: What about the Official Patch? Dare I patch it? I suppose if it all goea pear shaped I just re install (AGAIN).

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. It works for me!!!!!!!!!. Por fiiiiin :D
Thanks MaPomme!!!! ;)

Caution about Nero
 

It would be better to uninstall Nero 6.6 and reinstall the 6.3. They have made a grave fault :mad: by hacking a video filter with ASProtect, and you will probably have more and more black screens. :cool:

Il serait plus prudent de désinstaller Nero 6.6 et de réinstaller la 6.3. Ils ont fait une grave faute en passant un filtre vidéo à AsProtect, et tu risques fort d'avoir pas mal d'écrans noirs, pas seulement dans McRae.

Bonjour chez vous,

Ma Pomme

hey MaPomme arent you going to upload the files to the gcw server? because i tried to download them but its very very slow and I have ADSL connection, the download starts normally but it simply stops.

have you got any other form of downloading them?
