JK2 can't find CD!

Clean out the registry and then try and reinstall

 

..and if that doesn't work and you have multiple CD drives..

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\1.0]

"CDPath"="D:"

"Source Path"="D:"

"Source Dir"="D:\\"

 

If you open up a RegEdit, you should be able to change these values so it reads from your CD drive which should hopefully fix it. If you are unable to do that, I might be able to export a .reg file with the values in so you can open it and merge it into the System Registry.

well, I know I have more than 1 CD drive, so I'll just skip thaat first step.

 

I checked the registry values. They're good. The only one that was different was "Source Dir"="D:\\", where I have "D:\" instead of "D:\\".

 

still doesn't work...

Have you had any other problems with the drive lately?

Is there an exclamation mark near the icon in the Device Manager?

(My Computer > Right-click > Properties > Device Manager)

 

Have you also tried a clean install?

Check to see if your CD-ROM drive can read any other CD's...

 

My personal opinion? He's lookin' for a NO-CD hack in a more polite manner...I could be wrong though...so don't take it as anything personal - I call 'em like I see 'em :).

 

If all else fails, dig up the reciept (you keep those, dontcha?) and go return it :D.

you're absolutely right. I *could* be looking for a no-CD crack. Then again, why would I ask here, of all places? this *is* the first community site on the JK2 website.

 

besides, as I learned from my friend, who's computer recently got fried, no-CD cracks often cause... unwanted side effects...

Yea, usually the NO-CD cracks cause unwanted game errors like an error in CS_ENTITYPACKETS or something like that. What I did when I had the same problem even without the NO-CD crack, I did a clean uninstall with REGCLEANER, I then installed the game to the default directory, and I made sure in the REGCLEANER to remove any reference to the NO-CD patch which I didn't use(AHEM) and I did a clean install with the game.. Also, are you using a back-up copy or the original disc.
