Hi - I am very new to rebuilt 2004 and loving it!

But upon loading the launcher I am getting the "Incompatible version of NHL" error.

Any suggestions?

thankyouverymuch,

Dan

:victory:

You need to use nhl2004.exe that comes with the interface. Otherwise, 1.04 and 1.03 no-cd crack by "drunk!" is also supported.

Does this mean if you get this error, this does not work for you? I can't understand what your solution is.

That error means that the nhl2004.exe that is currently in your nhl 2004 folder is not compatible with this program. Your nhl2004.exe needs to be version 1.04 or 1.03 no-cd crack. Either the one by 'drunk' on gamecopyworld or the one that comes with NHL 2004 rebuilt.

I had the same problem, but now I can start the launcher but when i press "launch" it says "unable to write config file".
Any idea what could be wrong?

Make sure you run as admin and the nhl2004 folder is writable.

Version 1.22
  • Added 1.01 support

I can't guarantee how long 1.01 will be supported, but since newer versions don't work for some people, I decided to support it for now until we can find a proper fix for them.

Vod,

I think I have it figured out now (just got the game a few days ago) and want to give you a BIG THANK YOU!

The Action Camera on my TV is like being on the ice - incredible!

Version 1.3

  • Rewrote most of the code and fixed bugs in the process
  • Added DrawFPS config option. Can also toggle with F12
  • Added Adapter config option. This is for multiple displays
  • Added QuickLaunch config option. Bypasses the settings window and automatically launches the game
  • May have fixed a compatibility issue
http://www.mediafire.com/?g9k3e93ch2pafss

Note: For now, these new settings can only be set manually by editing the config file. If you're playing on another display with a different resolution, enable quicklaunch and set the resolution manually in the config file. This is just a temporary solution until I update the settings window.

No problem. :)

Btw guys, I updated the original post with a list of all the config options. If anyone with the know-how wants to help me hunt down memory addresses (1.04 rebuilt version), I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Would it be possible to find some game sounds from the EXE? Like the "hitting the post" sound, etc?

I mean I know they're not located in the EXE but perhaps it's possible to find out where it reads them from?

What else can you change from the EXE... anything in the gameplay?

Regarding the sound effects, I'll take a look and see what I can find

Most things within the EXE can be changed/expanded, it's just a matter of finding the location of the code we want to modify. That's the hard part..

Does Anti Aliasing and Texture Filtering work? All I get is a black screen usually.

SAme here a black screen when I choos AA (But the game seems to carry on Since I hear the sound)


Besides I played with 2560X1440 with all other option to full texture filtering X16 and Vsync and triple buff (But I have no idea what it is for... :P ) and as Daniel said with action camera it is like being on ice. Especially for me who never skated at NHL level (nor at any other level :bleh: ) I am totally lost : Super realistic.

It is a huge update if there is a way to change overlays (smaller size and bigger resolution) it will be the ultimate game... :good:

EDIT maybe it is my imagination or the wide angle but some cutscene appears new to me :
player with no stick yelling for a penalty and stopped by ref
player of the game leaving by corridor while saluting fans around

Do you use an Intel graphics chip?
