Owh, woe is me! My RTW CD broke!

**Troubleshooter** · October 13, 2006, 10:20 AM

So this afternoon i noticed a new SPQR was released. So i uninstalled RTW+BI (Darth-mod) and reinstalled RTW so i could install SPQR again.

Halfway through the installation process i got a big error on my screen saying the CD is unreadable. So i pull the CD out to clean it up when i noticed there was a huge crack running over the CD's surface.

I guess after (re-)installing RTW about 50 times my CD thought it was time to join the great CD-spindle in the sky.

Now for something constructive.

I'm not sure, but does RTW work with any CD as long as you have your CD code? Or does a CD key only work with each specific play disk?

If you can use any CD to play (as long as you have your CD key), why not borrow a friend's RTW cd? If you know enough, you could rip the iso right off the CD then give it back. Then get you some Daemon's Tools and continue conquering.

Or just torrent an iso of RTW. You have a legal CD key (I assume).

Yup i bought RTW legally. Im currently trying to download a ISO of CD2 and if that one works ill just burn that one on CD to replace my lost RTW CD2.

dude you need to make a copy of the game. go to your program files and make a copy of the rtw folder. I patched my game to 1.5 and copied it like 7 times.

I honestly don't know how legal these things are, in fact, I think they might not be. But there are plenty of no DVD/CD patches for games. If you want a link, PM me.
