Fleetops requires CD....

posted on May 13th, 2009, 4:15 pm

I gave my brother my CD to use in the Rigs up north so we can play multiplayer together. I installed Armada 2 from an ISO I got online by mounting via Daemon tools, patched to 1.1 and used a 1.1 NoCD key on it. The game worked great. I proceeded to install fleet ops 3.0 and tried to play the game and it asked for a CD. I then burned the ISO on a disk and tried to play fleet ops thinking the disc will solve the issue and it didn't. Any suggestions?

welcome to the forums!

don't install fleet operations in a directory that has armada 2 installed, install it to a separate directory. an existing armada 2 installation on your hard disk is not required, the fleet operations installer copies all files needed from the cd. replace the armada2.exe in the data directory with a nocd patched armada 2 1.1 exe file if you like to play without cd. please do not use nocd patches if you don't have the appropriate number of licenses. i think armada 2 in lan mode doesn't requiere both PCs to have a cd available, only the host does for up to two human players.

Thank you for the Welcome!

What you suggested helped, but as you say the host is the only one that needs the disc... so I really didn't need to crack the game

I have also looked to buy a second copy of A2 and on Ebay there is only a handful going for a mint... Anyone know of a company selling in Canada?
