Pandora Tomorrow Won't Start

[Nick930]

I have the physical version of Pandora Tomorrow and have installed it cleanly. But I can't get it to start. I get the following error message as it's booting up:

LockRect failed: 88760868

History: UD3DRenderDevice::ReadPixels <- UD3DRenderDevice::Present <- UWindowsClient::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

I have tried googling the message but there doesn't seem to be any clear fixes. I've tried editing ini files like disabling "Mouse Acceleration" but no luck. Does anyone know a fix?

Ok I managed to start the game. For anyone else in the future that has this problem:

I looked up "Pandora Tomorrow No-CD Crack" and found a youtube video there. Pretty crappy video with hardly any information, but it gave me a link that appears to be safe. Downloaded the crack and extracted the files into my Pandora Tomorrow directory.

Now the Splintercell2.exe file actually launches correctly right into the game. The main menu (where you choose game modes) still crashes, but the single player starts at least.

Same problem.

Read my last message. I fixed it using the no-CD crack. Starts up fine now. I then used the lighting fix, edited my resolution using a hex editor, and am now trying to fix the ugly night vision jaggies.

But can you play now? Or just launch the game?
