N2 V2x00 Dosfix Problem

3 posts by 2 people · 11 Apr 1998 - 12 Apr 1998

I lost my Nascar2 and ICR2 directories a couple weeks ago from a hard drive crash, and I'm getting them both up and running again. I installed my BGN Expansion Pack on top of N2 and then tried to run the Dosfix program so I can run it under DOS with my Stealth II. This is the error message I get: End of file detected at offset +1397051 Patch failed..algorithm ended in vendor-seek state What the hell, man? This is the same damn V2dosfix program I ran last time, and I had BGN installed then as well. I want to run this from DOS as it's much smoother for me! Anyone got any ideas??
Can you explain this dosfix to me and then I might be able to help? I thought you could run nascar2 in dos no matter what.

Silly me! I was away for about five hours, and I came back to this computer and somehow realized what I had been doing wrong! I was running the v2dosfix on nascar2.exe instead of nasrend.exe. My mind just wasn't there earlier I guess; too many crashes in GPL I guess hehe.
