HartleySan 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Alright, I know there are already a million posts out there complaining about the same/similar things, but I can't find a conclusive solution. Actually, the interesting thing is, I can run RA2, but not very well. It's so odd, but after the game fires up, it sounds like my CD-ROM drive is working so hard to read it and everytime I change menus, it takes a second to load. What's more, once I start playing the game, it freezes every few seconds (it seems like it's waiting for the CD-ROM) to load something. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, please tell me what you did to fix it. Thanks. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted September 16, 2005 Copy your files from the CD's root folder to your /RA2/ directory. See if that helps. Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted September 16, 2005 There was a problem with slow loading if your computer had 2 cd drives; it was fixed by a patch - so make sure you have the latest version. Share this post Link to post
Guest Rabbit Posted September 16, 2005 Heh, yeah, I had that problem, but I fixed it by making sure EVERY thing was in one drive. Share this post Link to post
HartleySan 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Well, I do have two drives in my computer, but everything runs through my 52x CD-RW drive, which is also my primary (master) drive, so I can't imagine that being the problem. At any rate, I have both the original RA2 and YR fully updated, so I really don't know what the deal is. Any advice? Share this post Link to post
HartleySan 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Okay, here's the real kicker. When I first installed RA2 and didn't update it, everything ran fine and there were no pauses every 5-10 seconds. However, after I installed YR and updated everything, it started happening. I have changed absolutely nothing since then as well. Quite odd! Grrr! Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted September 16, 2005 Did you even ready my post? :roll: Slap an RA2 CD in the second drive anyway. I find it helps loading YR. Share this post Link to post
HartleySan 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Yes, I read your post, but I'm trying to run just the original RA2 now and I want to be able to play it without it always pausing. Grrr! Share this post Link to post
Hans5849 0 Posted September 20, 2005 get yourself a image mounter such ans daemon tools and make a .iso of your RA2 disc and run it from the drive. No more scratched CDs for meee! Share this post Link to post
