Okay, I have Renguard and the CP2 patch installed. With CP1, Renegade would play fine, but now, with the CP2, I start the game through RG, and get to the screen saying to insert the cd, click cancel, game crashes. Renegade has ecountered an error and needs to close... looks to be caused by game2.exe.

Okay, tried a fresh reinstall, drivers for both sound and graphics are up to date (also tried older versions), directx is up to date, scanned for viruses/ trojans/ bots, etc., defragged, scanned disk, basically everything.

Nothing seems to work. It worked fine before, so I know it's capable. Maybe it's something with the new .exe? I also tried other no-cds and exe's, didn't help. I'm running XP SP2, (laptop) ATI X600, Audigy ZS. Here's the first part...

AppName: game2.exe AppVer: 1.37.0.1 ModName:game2.exe
ModVer: 1.37.0.1 Offset: 001f4c8f

I know there's just so much to these problems, but maybe you can help me...

Also, this is from Renegade's _except file in it's directory...

Why would you insert the CD if you have a no-CD .exe?

No, the no-cd crack is installed, it comes with CP2, it's the new one, from that Decades collection. Regardless, the screen still comes up saying insert the cd. Before, with CP1, I click cancel, it takes me to the menu, now, it gives me that error. I never insert the CD (though I tried it to see if it helped this problem - didn't).

Ignore that foolish person Torn. As for your problem, I havn't a clue. Try reinstalling and try to find out if it is the CorePatch 2. If it is don't use it, or try a different way to install it.

If I don't install the core patches, then I won't be able to connect to RenGuard Servers, right? Isn't play Renegade online without RG, like trying to play Counter-Strike without Steam?

No, long as you have the latest patch (1037) ren will run fine, its a good idea to use RenGuard but again you don't have to install the corepatchs with RenGuard

If we had to ban all who ever cheated or ever created a cheat (obj3cts and such) then I don't think there would be many members left here (sad fact).

No you can connect to Renguard fine without the core-patches. You seem to be on of the n00bs that doesn't know how to disable them. Listen

When Renguard opens up, in the Renguard window click options, then check disable core-updates. That's how you disable them. Than you can play with Renguard but without the corepatches. I happen to think having at least corepatch 1 is important though, and corepatch 2 is just so excelent. So I have 1 way for you to try getting corepatch 2 that may work, if it doesn't then just go with corepatch 1 because that's still pretty useful. So try it out.

--------------------------
To try to get corepatch 2 working, I would suggest trying to use the non-rg corepatch 2 installer stickied on the corepatches board. Do this after a fresh reinstall though when your having no problems and NO corepatches. So do not install corepatch 1 before you install the second one. If you still get problems reinstall renegade and just play with renguard and corepatch 1 and have your core updates disabled in Renguard.

You can use this standalone cp1 to install CP1. http://download.renguard.com/standalone_cp1.zip

Because from what jonwil said:

If you have CP1 installed (or if you have changed the registry to make it think you do), RenGuard will download CP2.
IF you have neither installed (or if you have changed the registry to make it think you do), RenGuard will download CP1+CP2.
IF you have CP2 installed (or if you have changed the registry to make it think you do), RenGuard will install nothing.



Which I think means Renguard will always download the Corepatch 2 when downloading core updates. Which you don't want if it's not working. So you want to disable core updates, when you first install renguard after a fresh reinstall it will ask you if you want to download the core updates. So if you have already tried the non-rg corepatch 2installer I told you to and it didn't work, and want to use only corepatch1 then after you fresh resintall and the reinstall of renguard then select NO when it asks you to download the core updates. then use standalone core patch 1 installer.

Well I got a little sloppy with this post but it should have been simple to understand. If not re-read it a few times.

Oh and remember, before installing Renguard you have to update to official renegade patch 1037. which you can get from here: ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/renegade/updates/Renegade_1037_En glish.exe
