Solution: This is caused by the latest version of Nero and some of the codecs this installs on your system.

You should be able to workaround this problem by modifying your CMR 2005 shortcut as follows:

1) Edit your Colin McRae Rally 2005 Windows shortcut (found on the desktop and/or the start menu) by right clicking on it and selecting properties.
2) In the target box, add NOVIDEO after the target entry, so the target looks like this

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Colin McRae Rally 2005\CMR5.exe" NOVIDEO

3) Click on OK or Apply and now try running the game again"

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

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.

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
