Tommy CD1 hate to do that I'm wrong
but I am operating system Windows 8 (64bits) and the game is functioning normally
but when he pulls at the other amrts me this also did not go according to figure how I looked I install completely different than he :D
Are you saying that when you installed your game somewhere else it worked? :o

mmm Did you extract the file from the .rar? And did you use it on the crack after replacing the old file? Also, make sure your antivirus and firewall aren't blocking anything.

So you mean the crack doesn't run or it doesn't patch? If it doesn't run (not that the original would without a CD), then maybe you could look for another copy somewhere? Maybe try to redownload that E]x[F copy you had.

Also, I don't mean anything, but I wanna be sure that you use the patch correctly.

First make sure that both files have been extracted. Do not try to run them out of the .rar file. Then run the "4gb_patch" file.

Image

When the patch asks which file to execute, select the cracked amrts.exe file.

Image

After a few seconds a new file called "amrts.exe.Backup" and this message should appear:

Image

Next you want to run the Large Address Aware file.

Image

Click the button next to step 1 then select the cracked file.

Image
Image

Next make sure this box is checked and then click Save.

Image

It should then create a "settings.sav" file and say the patch was successful.

Image

If you do get a new amrts.exe, make sure to rename it as "amrts.exe" and to patch that one too. Report back if you encounter any errors. Say what gives you the error and when it happened. Screenshots would be appreciated.

just 64 bits in the system it works.
I'm not saying I have good maps and that I'm a great player. I'm giving into that the most of my time.
