Well that's weird it works for me  :P And i was using a crack.

It's up and ready:

Skirmant, can you test this version too please?  Let me know if you have any problems.

I download both, but still have the same problems...
even before crack.

DATA.OVL file has a problem and must be closed; we are sorry about this.

Have you tried installing it on another PC?  This is a strange error.  It is not commonly seen by PCs that have been setup correctly.

What the... X

The result is :

1,
I using Dell laptop with
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2GHz,
2GB of Ram.
Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS.
320GB Harddisk.
Can't play at all.

2,
Almost old Desktop with
Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz,
2GB of Ram.
Nvidia GeForce 8500GT.
80GB Harddisk.
Can't play at all.

3,
Very Simple Desktop with
Intel Atom 1.60GHz,
1GB of Ram.
None VGA.
80GB Harddisk.
Why Can PLAY !?!?

These 3 are using Windows XP service pack 2,
all Rams are socket 667.
what's the problems that I can't play this game with my laptop ?

 ??? getting crazy ~  ??? ??? ???

Holy maple apple!  I just tested it and it works fine for me!  ;D

PS: Sorry for the bad timing!

Okay lets not panic!
Lets look to the bright side. Is there a dos version of this game?
If there is, we could try it on dosbox  :o

Again, all computers must have the following installed to be able to do anything without errors:

Chipset Drivers (Motherboard Drivers... normally on a CD that comes with the motherboard)
Sound Drivers
Video Card Drivers

My guess is that the first two computers do not have any chipset drivers installed.  Windows will still work, but things function a lot slower and programs may not work, such as Fast Food Tycoon.

I would go to Dell.com and look up the model of your laptop.  Download and install any drivers they offer. 

I think I got the whole drivers for my laptop,
I also install the drivers from CD, the CD comes with my laptop.
And I checked if any error on device manager, but none.

The same problem with my old Desktop. that's really weird,
is it because my VGA is too new for the game,
so makes the game can't load with unknow VGA because it is new?

The cause of this error is still unknown.  It does not have anything to do with the age of your computer.  I'm running Fast Food Tycoon 2 on a quad core computer, and it works fine for me.   ;D

I don't think this problem is fixable, and it only shows up for some people.  Let me know if you discover anything else. 

Don't get me wrong. But don't you think that using it on dosbox or any else dos emulator would solve the problem? Like is there a dos version of this game?

Not in this case.  Fast Food Tycoon 2 is not a Dos game.  If it were, DosBox would be the answer. 

Has anyone ran into problems playing with new graphics cards?

Recently got a Nvidia 8800, and the screen flickers HORRIBLY, I can't understand whats going on.

What kind of graphic card that you using ?


You didn't pop up an error ?
You can run the screen ?
lol, new problem. should be VGA problems.

Yes, I have noticed that too, as my 8600GT has also been flickering the game.  When using Nvidia based video cards, this game flickers.  It did not flicker in the past with older drivers, as I have played it numerous times on different PCs in the past.  The newest Nvidia drivers don't seem to like this old game. 

I'm using an ATI HD 4870 512MB video card (the best one out there currently) with ATI's latest drivers, and it works perfectly for me.  ATI's drivers are extremely stable these days.

Perhaps you should both try using older drivers for your video cards.  I will contact Nvidia about this problem, as it is their fault, not the program's.  The other problem, Data.ovl, seems to be a problem seen when something is not setup correctly on an individual's computer.

Let me know if you notice anything else.   

Well, I solve the problems,
Go to disable or unistall your graphic card driver,
(you better have installer to enable/install back the driver for safety)
And it can make you play the game directly.

How to disable/unistall ?
1, go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware (Tab) -> Device Manager -> Display Adapter
right clikc on it, then choose Disable.
Play the game after restart.
But lag in game.

2, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove.
To unistall your graphic card driver.
But would slow down your whole pc after restart,
but can play the game. Also lag in game.

Slove the problems, but still lag in game

Ah, that gives me another clue.  Therefore, I can now conclude that the Data.ovl problem is caused by graphics card drivers.  By uninstalling your drivers, Windows uses a defaul set of "safe" drivers that work for any video card. 

Try using older versions of video card drivers. 

Is this a patch or the whole game ?

I wanna fix this problem

but I also wanna keep all my save files

ha

=]

It was an attempt to fix the data.ovl problem, but alas, it didn't work.  Basically, this version contains a different installer that does not need a CD.

huh...ok

Yeah, if you don't have a CD to spare, just download this version.  Custom installers are my thing...

yup

so I wanna get your version

and give it to some friends at school

like burn all the zips to cd's

but it says I can only download it once a month without paying

and I can't find where I put it on my computer

lol

What about the BETA test version?  I don't think there is a limit.  I've got to save bandwidth.

where do I find that ?

I understand

haha

I could upload the full game to megaupload; files there don't get deleted because I have an account

I think it's alright.  There's a solution to the once a month limit.  Just PM if you need it.
