Crysis 2 DVD9 to 2xDVD5

[pakrat2k2]

im not trying to be a smart ass, i was infering that peter's launcher may have been for this topic only. He updated the pictures to show 3 different games. Originally it was crysis2 only images.

But he's straightened that out, that it will work for any/all EA games will have to keep it handy.

I have spent hours reading thru help forums for inno, just trying to figure out how peter's conversions work the way they do. Rather then just accept it and move onto the next game. The only way to learn, ask questions, & even if I answer, and again im proven wrong by someone who knows far more then i do about these conversions work.
Im still learning and hope that peter still continues to post, as they work flawlessly.

Thank you all for support!!

i have the same problem, any solution?
Thanks for help

[pakrat2k2]

yes BEFORE making your ISO's goto the localized folder and make a fake file with the name it says it cant find. ( make a empty text file, then rename it to what you need it to be ) You may need to do that with more then 1 of the language paks, so dont burn the ISO's until you test the install/uninstall without errors

[senseman]

very simple

DVD1=> Disc1
DVD2 => Disc2

Do not use any other name ok

'Create 2 folders and name them as Disc1 and Disc2

Burn or make iso's with same label names of temp folders'

CRYSIS 2 DVD9 to 2xDVD5

first conversion works 100% on XP SP3.Very importanto not forget to move the folder farlight From Disc1 to Disc2

EDIT by Grumpy: There is NO need to Quote the WHOLE original post! Just the Title of the post will do.

[kaem84]

Does anyone on the forum is capable and will do the conversion: Crysis 2 with integrated "Crysis 2 High-Res Texture Pack" and "DirectX 11 Crysis 2 Upgrade Pack" and the v1.9 patch required to run these two packages. The patch will be released next week. Of course 2xDVD5 or even 1xDVD5 MULTI5 [FreeArc + jpg compression, etc]?

Few questions:
1. Can i put for example no intro fix on DVD2? May it cause some problems? Is it OK?
2. In autorun.inf there are these lines:

Name=Crysis 2

[Special]
Disc=1
ProductGuiID={6033673D-2530-4587-8AD0-EB059FC263F9}

Can I leave it or have i delete it in autorun.inf on DVD2?

3. Is it right, that a have to replace "EASetup.exe" on DVD1 with the one from this post to work correctly? http://www.fileforums.com/showpost.p...0&postcount=92

Sorry for my english

[shoyee]

The file 'Thumbs.db' is a hidden file and I could only unhide it if I uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"..Same goes to the other language folders.

Anyway I also wonder why is it that when I use DVD9 to install the game the error never comes up even if 'Thumbs.db' file is still hidden.

[shoyee]

Once again I solved my own problem!!

I was using ImgBurn to create disc images, and I figured out that ImgBurn doesn't include hidden files in creating images! So when I used UltraISO, the error doesn't come up anymore and I was able to have a clean install/uninstall and finally burned them to the dvd..thanks anyways pakrat for your help.hehe!

[saltwater]

Works perfect with win7 x64,thanks~~~
I also let it down```
