Gta3 Cd2 Blew Up!! No Realy

Raiden01 · September 3rd, 2002

i was just sitting there all of a sudden the cd blew in the drive it as disentegrated into little peices foil was everywhere, the cd rom drive is bugerd now, but i cound't beleve it just sitting there and bang. can anyone tell me how i can not use cd 2 to play gta3, something about audio, in audio directory, well watch out you cd might blow up

Hanamichi · September 3rd, 2002

Wth? Why would a piece of plastic blow up? Whats more into little pieces?
Well whether things are related to piracy or not, I dont think that will or can be covered in here, since no one can be sure if you trully own the game or not.

Raiden01 · September 3rd, 2002

ok here it is the gta3 cd 2 had a litle cracsk not effecting the data part of the cd on the see though plasitc part, and it was spinning at 52x right imagine the pressure on the cd at that speed now becuase of the crakcs it made it weeker and the cd brock but becuase it was spinning so fast it made it apear like it blew up by it smasshed into small peaces this no crap it happen right infront of me, im telleing th truth, i serously didn't think those litle cracks would effect it!

Hanamichi · September 3rd, 2002

Hmm. makes more sense now

Nevertheless, I wont bet on it as Im *quite* sure posting ways to overcome the cd check in here is illegal. You need the patch though, and although I know how I dont have the links to the things you will need so I guess you should wait for Pm's or do a search somewhere else.

Wow nice explanation. Now tell me, how can I also see inside my cd rom?

slimjim · September 3rd, 2002

Get in touch with rockstar studios or are they called rockstar north now. (the company who made the game). Tell them what happened and ask for a replacement.

**_E_** · September 3rd, 2002

well,.....this is some heck of a story, anyway, if this what really happenned,....go to the retailler and ask him for a replacment as slimjim said,.........but anyway,.....i am still not getting this into my mind yet!

Gamer1 · September 3rd, 2002

i dooubt that they'll give him a replacement. cuz that story could have just been made up. and rockstar isn't just gonna say "sure... you could have a brand new disk"

**_E_** · September 3rd, 2002

well, he could try at least,.........

Raiden01 · September 3rd, 2002

the story is real, i promise,

**_E_** · September 3rd, 2002

well,......get these scrapps of plastic or whatever is left from the cd and go to the retailler and explain everything to him, maybe he can give ya a replacement............

Gamer1 · September 3rd, 2002

that's a more feasable solution. i hate talking to support people... sometimes they just can't understand the situation.

**_E_** · September 3rd, 2002

well,....i dont like that either, gamer1, but if you were in his positon, what else could you do?

Hanamichi · September 3rd, 2002

Go for warez. j/k
Your story may be real, since cracked cd's have been known to shoot out of the disc tray across the room(blowing up to pieces is abit extreme tho).
I dont think they will replace your cd, but you can call rockstar and give it a try. They may charge you a fee for a replacement if they offer that kind of services(Blizzard does that). If rockstar wont do it, the only thing you can do is look somewhere else for ways to play the game without the cd. Also unless the store you bought the game from has an angel as an owner, they wont even bother ya.

You might need to tell them the cause of the cracking as well. Heck, tell us too.

Solidsnake · September 3rd, 2002

I read a similiar story on www.guru3d.com, about some flight simulater cd blowing up....they even posted a screenshot.(I am sure I saw it)
I also recall that the person sent it back to the company and they sent him another free copy.
Try looking for the article on guru3d

Syed Fawad · September 3rd, 2002

What Raiden01 said isn not impossible. I have seen this happen in front of myself. It happened with a cheap CDr pirated copy of a game. It damaged the CD Drive as well, there were crystal pieces of that CD spread inside the Drive. We used a screwdriveer to open up the drive and clean it.

Just for the sidenot; that drive is still working.

Raiden01 · September 3rd, 2002

do you think i could use the drive again if i got all the bits out

Raiden01 · September 3rd, 2002

do you think i could use the drive again if i got all the bits out

Drack · September 4th, 2002

This can happen with the new super-fast drives with insanely high platter speeds. I suggest that you use a program to limit your cd-speed down to something reasonable to prevent this from happening again.

ooh~ scary..
