[Alan of War]

I have discovered how being a slob can ruin lives recently when I could not be bothered to put my disc in it's box. I wanted to watch Valhalla Rising so I put the DVD in my laptop and M2G on top of the DVD box. Some how I must of got water or grease on the disc or DVD box because it stuck to it. When I pried it off I gave it a good rub but it was scratched to hell and back. It could still play but I had too many mods so I un-installed to start fresh. It turns out the scratch is effecting my install but it didn't effect my playing of the game.
My question is, I heard about installing game without the disc through opening the files on computer so it doesn't need the disc to install but im crap at computers so if anyone knows a step by step that would be great.
If that fails its a long shot but can I send me cd key to anybody like steam to get a replacement disc or download.
It's not the first game I've done this to but its the only one worth the trouble. I will fork out the money if I have to but every penny saved is a blessing.
Thanks in advance for any help

i got m2tw and the expansion on steam download for ridiculously cheap. kinda sucks not having the actual discs though.

This will surely get closed. I don't think the mods like it when somebody comes on here to try and buy stuff, particularly when it's just their 3rd post...

I dont want to buy anything if I can help it or pay for disc repair. I just want help on how to install without running the disc or any other help thats available.

In that case try rubbing some toothpaste on your CD to fill in the scratch.



Do this as a last resort tho.



Otherwise, put all your CD files (Computer-->Med2 CD (click "open") and copy-paste all those files) on a USB key (remember to check if it has enough memory) and launch the installer from there. See if that works. Don't copy to your computer. It sometimes doesn't work.

Thanks, not sure about the toothpaste but I will give the USB a try
