 My FS2 Cd2 went bye bye god rest its soul. It was a godd CD it was a brave CD now I lay it into the dust as my life has received a crushing blow.
But seriously f..k the goddamn cd went by bye into my cd-rom.
Has this ever hapened to eny of you....? The other one is barely holding.
Man those cd's were used once to often I must of deleted and reintaled this game at least 60-70 times as years have gone bye..I even loaned the to a frind wich brought them back scrached and in a bad shape but they still woerked. now no matter what I do it refuses to work heck I only had them for about 2 years but still..!
Does enyone know were I can dowload a FS2 game because I dont have the money to pay 100$ + taxes for new ones.

There's links around, none of them spring to mind... but dude, you know, if you have a friend around who owns a copy, you can legally make a copy of all the discs so long as it's not to sell to anyone. In fact, I advise making several. I made three.

[Lightspeed]

Hotu. The FTP. Stealth's thread. Thousands of ways.

I haven't owned the game that long, but the first thing I did do was burn myself a copy and lock the orignals away safely. They have only been used once by me

I spent a fair amount of time hunting on e-bay etc. for a sensibly priced copy of FS2, in the UK ( so shipping wasn't a problem ) and STILL ended up paying as much for a used copy as I would for a new game! Oh well.....

But, as far as I am concerned, for the cost of 3 blank discs, my originals will be safe forever

It's why I use no-cd patches..... I have had discs crack before!

[AlphaOne]

Thanx for the heads up guis il try and find someone who has the originals. But I still have to wait for a long long time till I play FS2 again.

[Galemp]

Well, you can still use one of the old SCP builds with no CD checking in it.

my cd drive once basicly sliced a battlefield CD into a set of concentric rings

cd drive horror stories make me shiver

[MatthewPapa]

Dude, just burn the ISO's CD images to a CD!
Or do you not have a CD burner?
If you dont, download WinRar (www.download.com) and you can use winrar to extract all fo the contents from each ISO to a folder one folder per ISO). Run the main installer (CD1) and when the installer asks for the next cd's location, just type in the location you extracted the cd's files.

Or is it that you have 56k?
If it does, well, that really sucks.

[karajorma]

Don't use winrar. Using Dameon tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/portal.php) you can mount the ISO files as if they were a real CD drive. Your computer won't be able to tell the difference between the ISOs and real CDs that way.

[Swamp_Thing]

Daemon Tools rock!! I´ve used it for years now, don´t know what i´d do without it...

[Cabbie]

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear about you CD. Good think you have so many options to still get the game running despite of what happened.

[Hippo]

Use the SCP...

[TopAce]

Can I get FreeSpace 1 in the same way?

[Hippo]

I think Stealth had them...

[TopAce]

He only HAD them?

[Hippo]

I mean that i think they're uploaded on his site, or with the other iso's...

[Lightspeed]

No, Stealth only has ST up for download, IIRC.

[Marauder]

I know how you feel AlphaOne, I lost my disks to a scratch too...after lending them to a friend...

Bah, costs too much to buy a new one...heh...that's what parents are for!
