No Cd utility for N2

4 posts by 4 people · 17 Jun 1997 - 18 Jun 1997

Does anyone know if there is a utility to allow you not to put the CD in the drive each time you play, I use one for gp2 that saves having to messabout with the Cd. Thanks -- Russell A Smith

In the N2.BAT startup file there is a command that looks for an introduction file on the CD and if the CD is not there then it will come up with a fatal error. But you can just hit F and then it goes ahead and runs N2. The intro file is just a video clip of some racing and has nothing to do with game play. If you want to bypass all of that just type NASCAR2 at the DOS prompt and the game will start right up. Rick
You do need the CD for answering a multiplayer call, though! Is there a utility to fix that is the question.

Russell, You don't need the cd to run the game, instead of starting with instead of running n2.bat run nascar2.exe. or instead of running n2rend.bat run nasrend.exe. Hope that helps, Knaughtfaulk On Tue, 17 Jun 1997 19:52:20 +0100, Russell A Smith
