Hello, I decided to join the forum after reading this =P (Besides, nice to get updates on this mod) I had this exact same problem (And I was using a no-cd crack) but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it. Red Driver, is this 'illegal patch' the 1.0c patch? Because I know I used that and I'm pretty sure that's what fixed this. But regardless, I remember running into another problem. It's been about a year, so I don't remember the specifics. I had only installed this mod and the 1.0c patch, and one of them gave me a major glitch. When talking to Opo Chano on Telos, there was a vital conversation choice that wasn't showing up, and it was because one of these two things were installed. Like I said, this was a while back so I can't remember which. I'm sure you guys know whether or not TSLRCM does this, and if not then it is definitely the 1.0c patch. Anyways, I had to reinstall the game (And NOT reinstall whichever mod was causing problems), reload from an earlier save, and make my way back to Opo. The dialogue choice I needed came up, and then I reinstalled everything else.
Another thing I just remembered, I don't believe there is a specific no-cd crack for 1.0c since it's fan-made, but I still managed to find a way around that somehow. I'll be tinkering around with this stuff in the next couple of days, so I'll post more information when I get it.
EDIT: Hmmm, it appears this 1.0c patch may very well be the one Driver is talking about. I found a forum post where the creator flat-out admits to taking work from other people.
