I have the cd, and i install it, i reformated my hard drive to make my game work but it didnt intil i got the no-cd hack and it work when i mixed it with 1.074 patch. I forgot to save that hack and im looking for it. Can anyone send it to me by email, so it wouldnt be posted for all the theifs in this world. If wouldnt send it to me make a similar to it b.c when im in the loading screen, it will shut down. Dont give me this re format my computer stuff, i've tried that.
Completely uninstall Arcanum. Update the firmware for your CD-ROM drive. Outdated firmware may have trouble reading the copy protection on the CD, hence the need for a noCD patch. Update Windows Installer, if necessary. You might as well do it just for good measure. Reinstall Arcanum I had the exact same problems as you are having, and doing the above completely solved the problems for me.
