Another LBA 2 fan here
My story is next… About a year ago I downloaded LBA 2 and I had the no-cd problem (It demanded the cd). But after few days of hard work I managed to get it work. I don’t know how-the-fuckin-way
Anyways, it was pretty much the same like the one you uploaded here, earnolmartin (The very first video with storm, when you launch the game, was ok, car didn't steer when driving forward, but sounds and dialogues were ok) and which attila downloaded. I dind't let the car bug disturb me and I finished the game without further problems. After that I wrote the game on cd, but I was stupid enough not to write a notepad file there, how I got it working last time
Now after a year I discover that I can’t get it working and I have the same no-cd problem again.
So I found this best forum page about LBA 2, which I've ever seen
, and started reading. I downloaded LBA 2 again from this page and used the no-cd patch, like you have recommended to other fans. Then I had also a problem - the screen went black and the game exited when launching twinsen.exe. So again I got help form this forum and I copied music and video files to LBA 2 directory (I noticed, that when installing the game, even if I chose installing video and music files to hard disc, it didn't do that). Now I had working LBA 2
but I also got bugs
I noticed, that the very first video didn't exist, and btw, if you go to desert island with storm and you come back from there, and you DO NOT skip video, you get stuck into boat and that's pretty much the end of your game
I didn't play further, but I think that there might be other bugs like that, which are connected with videos.
So I think, that the best variant until now is the version which earnolmartin uploaded here temporarily. I understand that you are already working with the car bug, and I can't wait til you release a perfect game
I wish success to you guys !
