[No CD? Running NOLF2 without a CD?]

I got it working and here's what I had to do.

 

I added the registry file

Put the Update_v1x3.rez into the root of NOLF2

Then I had to put the actual patch download into the root dir and run it from there.

It went through the patch fully.

Rebooted

Then the game worked.

This was after I removed every registry entry for NOLF2 and re-installed the game from scratch for the 7th time lol.

 

Thank you all kindly for giving me some sort of direction and Ty Eliteone for taking the time to help me work this through. Have a Beer(insert beer emote)on me.

Thanx for the try on the possible fix Elite.

Still a no go, giving the Invalid shell.dll cshell.dll still.

 

Contents of the launchcmds.txt after applying the fix and putting the file into the root of the game.

Path is: "C:\Program Files\Fox\No One Lives Forever 2\NOLF2.exe"

[No CD? Running NOLF2 without a CD?]

No Update_v1x3.rez

No -rez Update_v1x3.rez

 

Not sure why the patch is not taking. I run it, it says installing, then finished with no change.

it's the NOLF2-Update_1x3.exe

 

Update:

I uninstalled the game and the install files from my drive.

Grabbed the 2 install files, the patch and the no cd from this site.

Installed from the hard drive, installed patch, same thing. The patch isnt updating.

 

I do know that if I run the patch from the desktop, it says No one Lives forever 2 not installed.

If I put it in the root of where the game is installed (it's default location) it runs, says its installing, pops up the window with the 0% done, then goes to the finish window but never installs

I am running Direct X 9.0c

[No CD? Running NOLF2 without a CD?]

I am getting the error invalid shell cshell.dll. as well. I have searched for an answer to no avail.

 

I installed the game from the hard drive.

Installed the 1.3 patch

Put the nocd file into the root of NOLF2 and run it from there.

I ran the game the usual way.

I hit play.

It gives me the choice of high, medium, low play.

I chose high.

 

Then I just get error invalid shell cshell.dll.

 

Running xp pro sp3

 

Any suggestions?
