Is this Wine (Windows emulator in Linux) again, like in your last video? Or is this actually Windows 10? I need a fix for running it in Windows 10. My problem isn't that I have poor graphics in Windows 10, so I don't think my problem is a graphics issue. My problem is that the game won't even start. It doesn't give any errors. I just double click it and it doesn't start. I can try to run it with or without compatibility mode (supposedly makes Windows 10 have the same behavior as Windows 98 or XP or whatever it's configured for), and it still won't run. Any advice here would be really good. I'm really trying to get this game running on my Windows 10 PC.
this is a wrapper actually , if the game doesnt even budge , make sure all files are copied correctly and also that your gpu driver is installed and you also have direct X available. Also try this thing too. goto your antivirus and put your game folder into excluded Folders.
@@HaelstormGaming Ok I found the problem. And it has NOTHING to do with having all the files copied correctly or GPU driver problems or antivirus false positives or missing DirectX. The problem is this: This game is protected with SafeDisk, a form of copyprotection. Unfortunately this means the software makes a call to the Windows SafeDisk driver, which USED TO come with Windows. Unfortunately, after Microsoft found a security flaw in the driver, they removed it from all future versions of Windows (starting with Windows 10). That means Midtown Madness 2 will NOT RUN in Windows 10, at least not legally. You need to download a crack called a "NO CD Patch" in order to make the game run without the SafeDisk copyprotection, as this skips the call to the non-existent driver. Unfortunately this is illegal because it removes all copyprotection (you can run the game without the original CD in the drive), but it also is the ONLY way to run this game in Windows 10. The default installation of Midtown Maddness 2, as it comes from the CD, will NOT RUN on Windows as is. Nor will manual copying of files from the CD work as is (the EXE is still protected with SafeDisk). After installation (or file copying), you MUST first use the NO CD Patch, in order to get the game to run. Please mention this fact in a future video, or in the description of this video. Otherwise you will end up having a LOT of people trying to follow your tutorial to get the game to run, only to give up when it doesn't work despite having followed your exact instructions (instructions which currently make no mention of SafeDisk or a NO CD Patch).

@@HaelstormGaming wow cheers for the fast reply :) and a reeeally big thanks that it works besides the extra resolutions!! :)) exactly what I did already, I still don't see the new ones - got a decent Win10 machine, nothing special so I don't get it (I even reinstalled already) :D but nm, I'll stick to 1440x900 then, I'm so glad & happy that this works :) god bless you man!
@@calvinschwarz7472 yes sometimes the resolutions bugs out because the game is old and unsupported so its kinda janky but hey still beats playing on old 800 resolutions.
@@HaelstormGaming absolutely! Time to try professional difficulty which I failed on as a kid :D wish it'd have multiplayer as well - but I heard MM3 had, shame that it never made it to the PC. Happy racing! :)

"Sorry, this file is infected with a virus".
Stupid false positive alert. Is there any way to upload this patch on a different site?
Yes it is possible i am doing the right now
@@HaelstormGaming Thanks. I really wanna get on and race again!
Other than that, it's 100% virus-free, right?
@@IMEEntertainment yes it is 200% free of any destructive software
@@HaelstormGaming Right, downloaded everything. Worked the first time.
Now... I have a problem. The game crashes after the logos (Midtown Madness 2 excusable has stopped working) and it appears that the DDraw.dll file is the cause because when I remove it, the game doesn't crash (although it's once again laggy and slow).
But to note a thing, the menu was windowed when I loaded it up the time it did work, and the game eventually played in fullscreen.
@@IMEEntertainment do you have any overlay or recording program in backgorund? put the ddraw file back its parts of the patch
thank you for this
where is this gfxconfig.dat file?
its inside some folder i dont remember the name
@@HaelstormGaming wow youre prompt! Its an option config file but you dont get it until you open the game, which is the thing i cant do. Im gonna keep looking around :)
@@IconDevco gtxconfig is required to change resolution which is not available in the game by default, you can still run it anyway.
Thank you so much, It helped me a lot the game is running smooth, try to upload the file to mega I had troubles to download it because according to google drive it has a ¨virus¨
Yes it is trouble uploading this file, it was removed from mediafile as well before, I will upload it somewhere else as well
You saved me dude thanks
Thanks a lot!
I want to kiss you bro you complete my dream 😭😭
i dont have the gfxconf.dat file Help
gfxconf.dat is only required to change resolution and not for running game, however it will be created after you run the game once. so you can change the resolution after you run the game one time with the patch.
But my game wont run it do nothing i clicked on the game and the game dont start
worked like a charm! :)
Will this work on Windows 7?
It should work though. make sure the game runs before this patch.
The game worked fine when I had Windows 7.
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks maan
Are these files suitable for any game that suffers from the same problem?
Thanks Work for me
Does Windows 7 on work?
It should work on win 7 as well.
It works omg, before i used to have worse fps than gta 5 lol
Download link says file is infected with a virus.
Download from Mega link
@@HaelstormGaming even in the mega link it fails because of a virus.
@@arjunsuresh5872 i think that is bcs chrome doesnt download and blocks it but mega doesnt block itself.
@@HaelstormGaming yes mega didn't block. But even if I use a different browser I get the same issue.
@@arjunsuresh5872 hmm is there option which says download anyways?

For real the proper Fix its from entering for my game thats slow
Love you 3000 Dude

Hi it works absolutely great, just that my McAfee antivirus keeps flaggin it down "RDN/Generic.hra trojan". Is it safe to keep, can anyone verify?
Ofcourse it is , just exclude it from the anti virus
mediafire says file is dangerous and its blocked
Okay thanks for informing I will reupload the file soon
Now you can Check i have update the link
Yeah it's still laggy for me. I don't know why it is. It's a 22 year old game.
Game has problem with 3d driver, it doesnt use any if its dx 9+ , so thats why it lags.
@@HaelstormGaming Then why did you say it runs on max performance?
@@JackFoxtrotEDM without the patch the game lags, after patch it works fine. Didnt you watch the video?
@@HaelstormGaming Yeah. And I installed it as instructed. The game runs a smooth 60 but has constant stutters about 50% of the time.
@@JackFoxtrotEDM yes its not super stable but still much better than what was before.
