No Cd Problem

[Wolf52]

I have the CMBO Special Edition. I installed it and applied the latest patch, but when i try to run the game it says i need the cd even though it is in my main drive (i have two, and have tried the secondary). I looked in the compatibility tab in the properties of my desktop shortcut and none of the boxes are checked. Please help!

EDIT: I should also mention that i had this game installed a year or two ago on this computer and then it ran fine. Of course, that was before i installed a dvd burner.

DO NOT INSTALL THE 1.12 PATCH.

The CMBO Special Edition is distributed by CDV. It already has the latest patch. If you install the Battlefront.com patch to it, it ruins the copy protection mechanism.

Unless you can extract the executable by itself, you'll need to reinstall CMBO. It should work fine after that.

Is there going to be 1.13 patch for the special edition??

No. 1.12 was the last patch for CMBO, even though there is a small, but annoying, TCP/IP bug. Basically there is almost always something that can be patched and "fixed" for a game and 1.12 was decided to be the last version for CMBO as work was pretty intense for CMBB at the time.

The CMBO & CMBB CDV releases have separate patches that are unique to their versions. With CMAK the patch is the same for both the Battlefront.com and CDV versions.
