*VIDEO STARTUP FIX* for Myth Rip (Colin.McRae.Rally.04-MYTH)
Bad luck, Myth. The game won't start on machines running ATI
Radeon 9600/9800 cards under several circumstances while loading
the startup video sequence. Some machines just hang and you need
to do a cold reboot, others will come up with a DirectMovie error.
According to MYTH's nfo they ripped the videos so why not just
f*cking turn video sequences off completely instead of causing
crashes with leftover ripped sequences?
Just because I'm not the only one with this problem, here's an
easy and quick fix for all those guys who can't start the game
and refuse to leech the ISO (0day is cracking art! Why need 4 cd's?).
a) Make a shortcut of the "cmr4.exe" file located in your Colin McRae
installation directory. (Right-click and drag, in case you're lame).
b) Go to the properties of the "cmr4.exe" file and append a commandline
option at the end of the target line: "NOVIDEO" so it looks like e.g.:
"C:\Games\Colin McRae Rally 04\cmr4.exe" NOVIDEO
c) Apply the changes, then double-click the link, the game will start ;)
Anyways, thanks to MYTH for a great job on the rest of this release.
Make sure you get your hands on Toca Race Driver 2 (also by Codemasters)
to be going gold later this month - it's the best driving simulation
I've seen for a few years - even more gameplay fun than Colin McRae 04!
Happy war driving.
