MM2 Beta Downloads

Postby dummiesboy » Sat Feb 25, 2012 3:22 am

A few weeks ago, Rippance from MM2C took the time to dig out his old beta CDs of MM2, and upload the contents to the website! These are very interesting to look at if you're either a hardcore fan of MM2, or a modder looking for new possibilities (and colors for default cars... :wink: ).
Here are the links:

Beta 1 (June 2000)
Beta 2 (August 2000)

You will also need these to be able to run the betas. Replace the proper game exe files, and create shortcuts to run the game before September 2000 with RunAsDate.exe.
Cracks


For those of you wondering which one is better, Beta 1 is by far the most interesting one. It has plenty of differences from the retail version, and some funny glitches too. It even has some things that aren't in the retail version at all, if you look closely enough. Things like this include cut races, manholes on the roads, tree walls in London, the F12 button doing something... etc. The only bad thing about this beta is that multiplayer is disabled, which sucks if you were wanting to play CnR with this stuff.
Beta 2 is mostly the same as the retail version, with a few minor differences. I've only seen differences with the default F-350 (messed up back window) and the RSi (green and lupo paint jobs). It's basically the French version of the game, in an English language. :P

So enjoy these, everyone. If you're interested, you'll want to get them ASAP, because I cannot guarantee that Rippance will keep them up forever.

Is it only me or does beta 1 not work? I installed it and tried to run it. It says insert disc so I did. Then I restarted it but is says the beta version has expired. Then I tried speedboot but it crashes at the loading screen. How to avoid this?

Oh right, that. It might be a good idea if I upload the cracks, hmm?

Nice, there are some unused paintjobs for the LTV, I think I'm gonna use them. The funny thing is that I was already planning to create a paintjob looking like the Sandstorm one.

In Beta 1, there is a white seam across the road (wide enough to be noticed when you're cruising in an Audi TT in Wing Cho at 64mph).
Yes, I know, it is a beta, there has t be bugs, but what's the harm in discussing them?

But what I don't understand: Why is the french version in a beta state? And what about the german one? Is it like the english one or also in a beta state?

Hard telling why the French version has alot of beta stuff in it, maybe it was sent off earlier than the other ones. The German, and Nordic versions are the same as the English though.

Nordic? In which other languages is MM2 existing? In Wikipedia it says only English, French and German. And any idea where to get the French version?
