D2D and GTA Hill Valley Options

[raybob]

Will this game work with the Direct2Drive version of GTA Vice City?

Reason being is that my VC Disc has become too scratched to use over the past 5 or so years, and I need to reinstall.

I know the D2D version is different because gta-vc.exe is over 12MB compared to 3MB in the original game, and I was thinking perhaps its DRM or something like that would keep the mod from working . . .

yes it will. I use the D2D version myself. You would have to switch EXEs though as the D2D EXE is non-hackable.

OR, just buy a copy from ebay.

Edit, there are sub $5 copies (new) in the list.

well i have copies of my disc's i could send him, since it would count as a backup, since he still has his discs.

No but the thing is that I already have the D2D copy. I can just copy+paste the program files directory for GTA can't I?

I got D2D a year ago when I had to reinstall the real game, again the disc was too scratched. I used it to reinstall the real VC, but I kept my old Boxed-version copy for Hill Valley. Now, I have to reinstall Hill Valley and was wondering if I could do it with another copy of the D2D version.

Based on what you guys said, I can, and I will try it later.

Thanks for the input!
