RequireCD=Yes means (I think) that you need the CD to open CtP2.
RequireCD=No means you can get all the way up to the point of loading the actual game, or it seems, changing the sound settings, before you need the CD.

Or its the setting for which install you did. Whether the sound and video is on the CD or not.

well... changing the music doesn't cause a crash
the game just won't load/start w/ the music on

[Immortal Wombat]

will it load with it off?

[HuangShang]

i know that... but then its boring...
i wrote the post in the first place to see if anyone can help me start w/o CD and have the music on the HD

isn't there a file telling the CtP2 where to get music?

You mean you actually like the CTP2 music? IMHO it's insanely frustrating. Though that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I couldn't stop it playing the same track over and over and over... I never heard the other tracks.

theres a random order otion... but it does.nt work

[HuangShang]

its too boring w/o music

Doesn't the music change when you enter a new age? It's the same melody, though. Actually I like the melody and once in a while I even watch the intro again because I think it's actually pretty good for a low machine specs intro (compare it to the civ3 one, there you'll now already before civ3 has started that you won't like the game... )
I never play with the music. Funny thing is I just tried to turn the music back on yesterday though, but it seems that you can't do that when you're already playing.

I don't mind the music either, but it does always seem stuck on the same song. Perhaps it does change with eras, but J and I are playing Cradle, so it takes longer to get out of ancient?

I turned it off after about 20 turns on my first ever game (when I was playing slow to get used to it, so that was probably about 30min), and have never turned it on since. So I don't know if it changes with the age. Many mods increase the number of ages, so that could have strange effects...

[HuangShang]

when acually in game... i only notice a change the first time i open the library

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

well, just a hint:
after getting the game started turn music off, replace the cd by an audio-cd of yours and turn the music on. you will listen to fine music while playing, at least if you like your cd :-P

It's on the 50th line in my Userprofile.txt file. Here it is with the lines above and below it:

UseRedbookAudio=Yes
RequireCD=No
Prophylaxis=No

Keep looking, you should find it in your userprofile.txt.
