Hello
I had this issue before and another member was able to fix this by patching the executable. You can download this patch here. https://www.tombraiderforums.com/sho...8&postcount=69 It's the first download link where you have the patched exe. |

Hey everyone
I need help installing the Golden Mask in Windows 10. I've tried downloading all the versions linked on Stella's site and TRC and I'm just not able to get it to work I have a PC copy of TR2 if it's still necessary. Don't have a Steam account (and I don't really want one, I much prefer physical copies but am trying this before ordering an actual copy of TR2Gold) and don't know what GOG is or if it would be a simplest way of installing it. I've never played Lara's Alaskan/Vegas adventure before and I really want to! |

GOG is basically the games as they came on disk, except all files are kept in your local drive and the exe has had the disk check removed.

Other methods involve using the original game's patched tomb2.exe (Multipatch/Steam/GoG) to play GM, however this isn't advised as this EXE does not contain the same scripting/code as the Gold EXE so you'll run into various problems. The best ways to play the expansion today are either by using a patched Golden Mask EXE that has the CD check removed (No-CD) in which the original TR2 disc doesn't need to be detected. To save you the hassle of going through the patching process/downloading things from different sources or even purchasing GM (unless you're a collector there's no point - the files are freely and legally available) if you'd like I can PM you a link to a safe and legit working TR2Gold folder which contains a patched GM executable. All you'd need to do is unzip and it'll be ready to play (courtesy of the speedrunning community). Or, you can use Arsunt's TR2Main. This method allows for a working TR2+GM under a single folder/installation with many optional features. All that's required is a copy of TR2. Setup guide here. |

Thanks for all the info
I'll try a couple of those solutions and if I hit a dead-end I'll PM you. Thanks again |

Which method did you use? My guess is the 1st option where you require the original disc to run the trgold.exe...

I made sure the disk was in at all times
And it took a bit more trial and error to find a download that worked on my laptop.. then some more random clicking on files once unzipped because it wasn't labeled .exe (or I missed it) Either way, it's working quite well |
