Issues fixed
Game crashes on launch (non-Steam versions)
For non-Steam versions you may need to manually modify the main executable to prevent a crash on launch on Windows Vista and later; see How to run Midnight Club 2 on Vista and Windows 7 (Patch). The Steam version has been patched for compatibility with modern versions of Windows (despite the warning on the Steam store page).[1]
"Failed to connect to GameSpy server" error
- The GameSpy master server has been shut down. There is a replacement executable that uses the gameshare servers.
