problems with scratched CD
on: April 21, 2003, 04:21:49 pm
My scratched FS2 CDs only allow me to install the basic files now without getting bugged up, so I can't run the game in 1024*768 anymore :(   Is there anywhere I could find these files, and if I did find them, how would I go about installing them?

Check the HotU page of my FAQ. I guess it applies to you now :)
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

For a few minor scratches my friend used toothpaste...it worked, but not well enough for anything major. :D

Whether you use the wipes or someform of paste(tooth or repair), remember to wipe linearly out from the hole in the middle like spoke on a bicycle wheel.  Do not under any circumstances wipe radially around the disk, it will exacerbate the problem.  Also remember to clean your drive, a dirty drive will be less likely to read a clean disk than a clean drive read a lightly scratched disk.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.
