Sektor Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) The free version is basically the same as the retail version but the radio is stored on the hd and it doesn't have cd checks. I don't think they really optimised or fixed much at all. It still says v9.6 but it includes the nade exploit fix from v10.3. The official patch also won't work on this free version since it would ask for the cd. They didn't replace the DMA logo on the main menu like they did with GTA1. There's only two language choices in GTA2 Manager instead of the regular five choices. The exe files are different and these files compare different: mp1-2p.mmp mp1-3p.mmp mp1-4p.mmp mp1-5p.mmp mp1-6p.mmp mp2-2p.mmp mp2-3p.mmp mp2-4p.mmp mp2-5p.mmp mp2-6p.mmp mp5-2p.mmp mp5-3p.mmp mp5-4p.mmp mp5-5p.mmp mp5-6p.mmp res-2p.mmp res-2p.SCR res-3p.mmp res-3p.SCR res-4p.mmp res-4p.SCR res-5p.mmp res-5p.SCR res-6p.mmp res-6p.SCR For the mmp files, a space was removed from the descriptions, eg. "Residential 2 Player" is now "Residential 2Player". That doesn't effect multiplayer but different .SCR files means you can't play Residential level without sending the files to your opponent. All the other data files are the same as the unpatched v9.6 GTA2 retail. It connects to retail v9.6 ok and it was synced for the 30 seconds that I tested but there is at least one problem, the nade/molotov exploit is fixed in this free version, so if a player does that in the retail version, the game will go out of sync.

SMG Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks for the torrents! The rockstar page says the ZIP contains a ".pdf of the original PC game manual" but it doesn't so I guess it was a download availible parellel to the ZIP file. Does anyone have a copy of the manual?

TheJkWhoSaysNi Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) I said they were slow (and one of them is down now). I was getting 60kb/sec from the second torrent. Try that instead.

Sillyhed2000 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Wewt, I got it! So... it tells me to run 'Autodetect' as soon as I install. I can't find it, and when I try and play regardless, the sound screws up and goes to a fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sektor Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 There is no autodetect, I don't know what they were smoking. You should run gta2 manager first. They also forgot to include the pdf manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillyhed2000 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Mmm. It's fine as long as I don't minimize it or try to change the settings (without restarting). The starting video rocks, I've never seen that before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA Helper Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Ok here is how you do it,GTA 2 install can only be downloaded between 7:00-10:00pm (sometimes at 5:30pm as well) no other time works and the download will fail... It will give you an error saying that the server is over-loaded. This also goes for GTA 1 and the wmc game.I hope this helps anyone with the same problem. Untill Rockstar fixes this problem this is the only way that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
