    Problem With Mini Image

    Ok, I have two machines (One machine is the one I cant get patched).

    But, on this machine, the fully patched version, I cant get the game to load off the mini-image.

    Basically, I mount the image using Daemon Tools, the MDS file. Load the game, it starts, auto-configs, then black screen and CTD.

    Does anyone know why?

    The game was installed using a geniune CD, and I'm using the image off here -

    http://m0003.gamecopyworld.com/games...lefield%202%20[ALL]%20No-DVD/Fixed%20Image%201

    The one im using is Battlefield 2 [ALL] No-DVD/Fixed Image #3

    Can anyone help me? Yesterday I tried using a different one, a no-dvd exe, but got the unmodified content error when trying to get onto a server.

    Thanks in advance,

    Brad

          The problem I have, is my DVD is cracked. I've got an ISO off the original game, but when I mount that, it still asks for the CD.

            Did you back up your original exe? if you didnt you will have to reinstall BF2.
            Dont use the no cd/dvd cracks, only the mini images.

            is your original disc a cd or dvd? you can only use ythe cd images with the cd version and the dvd image with the dvd version

              Ok, the game was installed off the original DVD.

              Trying to use the DVD images gets me no-where, it asks for the instalation disc 1. Or something.

              Anyway, for some reason, using a ***** fixed exe gets the game loaded. Where as mini images don't, but then I get kicked for modified content, even though I downloaded the two PB htm files and put them in the PB folder.

              HELP!

                dont use the ***** crack. you should be able to run with just the mini-image and daemon-tools. does that machine start bf2 ok with the cd in the drive? it sounds like more of a bf2 issue than an image issue.

                  But without the ***** crack, jsut using the image files, NOTHING happens. Just CTD.

                  At least with the ***** crack, I can get the game to boot. And on my other machine, I cant even get it patched.
