Owner Mode crashing

[Arrack]

Hey everyone,

I had a nostalgic attack. I grabbed my 2 CD's (which are scratched a little bit by now) and installed MVP. Last time I played the game was years ago and I don't recall having ANY problem with the game while cd #2 was in the drive. I had this weird issue of game not running (using windows 10). I double click the icon and nothing happens. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the windows itself or just my cd is worn out. Also, when cd #2 isn't in the drive and I try to run the game it asks me to get the cd, so I looked it up a little bit. I saw somewhere (maybe in this forum?) that downloading a crack would solve the problem. I downloaded it and the game now runs. However, owner mode crashes whenever I finish a game, either sim or fully played, without any error message.

So, I guess it's that crack thing that made the issue but the problem is the game won't run without it. Is it a problem with windows 10 or my cd's are just too scratched? If the latter is true, where can I buy a new copy of the game?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Update: I searched a little bit and it seems to be a general issue with windows 10 not allowing playing ANY SafeDisc and SecuROM Games.

it's just an issue with the no-cd .exe file. But everything else works fine (Dynasty included) so I just live with it because it allows us to play MVP on Windows 10. And since you own the CDs legally like I do, there is no issue with doing it that way.

 

It's just owner mode that is unplayable

Thanks for the quick reply.

I can't express how depressing this thing is. I hoped the mega-editors here might have a solution to this problem. The most annoying thing about it, is that there is no error message so you can't address the problem.

You did not find that information here and your best bet is to get a new copy of the game. I would monitor Amazon and eBay because those two places always seem to have a copy for sale.

I did find it on this forum here -

Anyways, this pointless crack is not the point. I'll monitor Amazon and eBay, but all I found so far is overpriced ($100).

If anyone else has any other insight, please help.

 

Edit: No reason to buy a new copy, the issue lies within Windows 10.

You're better off seeing if you can install and play the basic install on a W7 or XP computer before spending more money on the game.  Chances are you can by a PC capable of handling the game for as much as you'd still pay for the game.

Now I remember that thread from last year. Did you read the whole thing? The thread got locked because he used a no-cd exe. That was also the last post he made on here since he has been gone for a year and a half.
