    G'day all

    Having trouble updating my.. shall we say.. well pirated copy of Age of Empires 3.
    I open the game & download the update.. no worries there.
    Then it installs.. still working fine.
    But then it asks me to insert 'AOE3 disk 1' & obviously I don’t have it.

    My question is if there’s any way around this,
    perhaps trying to make a 'disk 1' or would this interfere with the Smarte protection? & more to the point is it possible to do using any method one might be aware of.
    I just 4get bout updating it???

    Guys/Girls ne help would b great!

    No you shoudn't say that because there is no piracy allowed here.Just write down the problem no need to explain how you got it.

    Anyways if you have a no cd crack then that what it is.You will need to switch it back to the old icon update it, and then switch the crack back so you can play.

    Also you need the correct verion e.g. if you have version 1.2 you will need the version 1.2 no cd fix.
