Another Disciples 2 No-CD question!

Dope Jetson · #1 17-12-2002, 16:11

So I reinstalled the game completely and applied the patches up to 1.41. Then I put on the No-CD crack, and finally, unzipped the patch crack into the Disciples directory and executed that. It said:
Patching disicpls2.exe...... Wrong filesize!

I've spent a good couple of hours now trying to get this damn game to work! Would someone with greater knowledge bestow upon me?

It seems you don't have the correct crack for V1.41.......

Hi again Dope Jetson

looks like you are doing something wrong again...

I use the german Version of this brilliant game:
My NOCD is not a executable Patch !!
It is the disciples2.exe itself (already cracked !!)
And i only had to overwrite the existing one in my folder !!

So , if you should use the german Version, too. You used the wrong Crack !!
Or if you use the English Version, you should try another one.
There are 3 (!!) in GCW and a lot more on other Pages.

Try another one.

My working crack is from Megagames.com
Its from the cracker: gimpsRus !!!

This one should do it (maybe with the english version, too).
go ahead and give it a try....

feeling with you all the time

juergen.

I'll try out the megagames.com one.

Thanks again, Juergen, and everyone else for putting up with my crap.

It didn't work! Can you believe it?

I got the GimpsRUs one from Megagames.com, and it -still- didn't work. Right now, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong...

My system is pretty standard, with all the drivers relatively up to date. I guess I will just try another one, but I'm not holding my breath.

Stupid thing-that-is-holding-me-back!

I just went thru this in the last few days, having installed the game again. I also was getting an error, but it was misleading. The problem was my .exe file was marked read only for some odd reason. I notice this alot in XP. You running xp?

You can try going to the discipl2.exe file (or whatever it's called) and right click, and make sure it's not read only. I know this may sound dumb to some, but I just went thru exactly what he did, and for some reason, my file was readonly, and the error I got from the crack program was at first giving me the impression it was the wrong .exe by what it said. But as I looked more closely it said something about not being able to access the file and that's how I figured it out.

Also, I could email you the progam I used to crack it. I am pretty sure it was grimpus's or whatever. I still have it.
