make sure u got the right disc in:rolleyes: lmao

i donno anything els...i will let u know if i think of anything

Re: Patch 1.03
 

If it's the DVD version there should only be one disc, as DVDs can handle up to 4.5Gigs of data.

Did you make sure you installed the right patch version? There is 1.03 full, 1.01 - 1.03, and 1.02 - 1.03.

I have noticed most people are reporting success with the 1.02 - 1.03 version, which is the most commonly used, as most were at version 1.02 before updating.

Try going to Sierra's site to get it. Sometimes there are gaming sites here and there that have corrupt patches once in a while.

how come i got 5 discs but when i play i only can use the 5th disc in my DVD player?

Re: Patch 1.03
 

Because you have the CD verson. Perhaps you misunderstood me, I did not say you only need to use one disc with the DVD version, the DVD version only HAS one disc.

DVD versions of games are generally put on one disc, as an entire game usually fits on just one DVD. CDs can only take 700MB of data, DVD discs can take over 6 times that amount.

There are still people that have CD ROMs rather than DVD players though. Usually the way it works since DVD drives have become popular, is the game will initially come out on CD, and if it sells well they make a DVD one disc version as well, which often contains patches too.

Perhaps you have an older model or brand of CD ROM that has compatabiity issues. Check for a driver update for it, but it may just be incompatable.

k thanks Omen...and gggggg did u get it working?

Re: Patch 1.03
 

I tried updating the game in various ways but it still says "it cant read disk/Please insert CD/DVD". Before it said "cant read the resouces", now it says it cant read disk. I tried the update "1.01-1.02_1.03". First i updated it from 1.00, that didnt work, then i tried to update it from 1.02, and it still didnt work. The game only plays on 1.00 and 1.02, but not on 1.03.?????????????????????? I downloaded the patch from sierra, so it should work? Maybe my disk is messed up?????
