ive heard that you can get game fixes, so you dont need the cd to run games, i was just wondering if anyone can tell me where you can get these, and how to use them?
thanx

A great website to get game fixes is MegaGames - The Hardcore Gaming Experience (when you open the site just look on the left of the screen for the gamefixes then PC games). Make sure you get the versions right.

Now go to the directory where the game is installed, make a folder called "backup" copy the .exe that isn't the fix. (most likely called GAMENAME.exe) and paste it into the folder called "backup" (you just made it).

Now time for the fix, the files will most likely come zipped, and inside will be a GAMENAME.exe of the game you wish to "fix". Copy that file and paste it into the installed game directory. If you matched the patch everything should work.

Note. some games may require replacement of other files (but if its more than the GAMENAME.exe file, there will be instructions)

Hope that helped

yes that helps a lot!!
thankyou very much!

I hate to be the one to bring it up, but we must state that you are only allowed to do this with games you have legally purchased. Any discussion of using this for games you have acquired illegally would open the forum up to legal problems. Just needed to be said.
