FAQ
TL;DR: A 3‑step no‑disc workaround (unzip, copy, replace) solved Farming Simulator 2015 launch errors—“It worked!” for the thread author. [Elektroda, balonika3, post #16765084]
Why it matters: If you lost your FS15 DVD, this FAQ shows practical, forum‑tested options and risks so you can decide safely and legally.

- Version noted by the author: FS15 1.2.0.0; fixes and files must match version. [Elektroda, balonika3, post #16764815]
- Methods discussed: no‑CD/fixed files and mini‑image mounted via tools like DAEMON Tools. [Elektroda, enhanced, post #16764864]
- Basic procedure: extract archive, copy into game folder, replace files, keep a backup. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16765025]

Can I run Farming Simulator 2015 without the original disc?
Forum guidance says no, not legally, without the original disc. License terms tie use to the disc, even if you own the box and code. “Legally without getting the original disc – no.” We explain technical workarounds below, but your local laws and the game’s EULA govern use.

What options did the community use when the FS15 DVD was lost?
Two approaches appear: using no‑CD/fixed files matched to your FS15 version, and using a mini‑image mounted in a virtual drive tool like DAEMON Tools. Both attempt to satisfy the disc check at launch. Success depends on version matching and source quality. [Elektroda, enhanced, post #16764864]
Which FS15 version did the successful no‑disc workaround target?
The author reported Farming Simulator 15 version 1.2.0.0. Use fixes that explicitly match 1.2 to avoid crashes or refused launches. Version mismatches are a common failure cause. [Elektroda, balonika3, post #16764815]
Is using a no‑CD crack or fixed files legal if I own the game?
A poster notes it still breaks the license/EULA even if you bought the game and code. Another adds you purchase the right to use software as licensed, not unrestricted ownership. We cannot provide legal advice; check local law. [Elektroda, helmud7543, post #16764953]
What is a “mini‑image” and when would I use it?
A mini‑image is a small disc image that emulates the original DVD’s presence for the game’s check. You mount it with tools like DAEMON Tools so the game sees a virtual drive. It’s an alternative to replacing files. [Elektroda, enhanced, post #16764864]
What is a “no‑CD/fixed file” for FS15?
It’s a replacement executable or related files that remove or bypass the disc check. You copy them into the FS15 install directory, replacing originals after backing up. One poster called these “no‑cd/no‑dvd” files. [Elektroda, lekto, post #16764770]
How do I apply a fixed‑file no‑disc solution step‑by‑step?
- Extract the downloaded archive with a tool like 7‑Zip.
- Open your FS15 install folder (via the game icon’s Properties > Open file location).
- Copy extracted contents into the folder and allow Replace; keep a backup of originals.
“It should work” afterward. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16765025]
I downloaded a file named rzx‑ls15int12x86c. What do I do?
That’s an archive. Extract it first, then copy the contents into the FS15 install directory, replacing files. Keep backups so you can revert. This mirrors the working approach described in the thread. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16765025]
How do I avoid scammy download pages and pop‑ups?
One user hit pages asking for a phone number and throwing pop‑ups. Back out immediately, avoid submitting any data, and look for alternate mirrors or sources mentioned by posters. Treat aggressive redirects as red flags. [Elektroda, balonika3, post #16764889]
There’s no Polish fixed file listed. Will the international (MULTI6) one work?
A poster suggested starting with the v1.2 MULTI6 fixed files for the disc version. Match your game version, then test. If it fails, consider version upgrade/downgrade per the index guidance. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16764872]
What if replacing files doesn’t work the first time?
Check that your FS15 version exactly matches the fixed files’ version, and restore your backups. Language mismatches or wrong builds can cause failures. Try a mini‑image method if file replacement fails. [Elektroda, balonika3, post #16764815]
Did anyone confirm success running FS15 without the disc?
Yes. After copying replacement files and backing up the original executable, the author reported success: “It worked!” This validates the process for FS15 1.2.0.0 on their setup. [Elektroda, balonika3, post #16765084]
What’s the quickest way to find the FS15 install folder?
Right‑click the game’s desktop or Start menu shortcut and choose Properties, then Open file location. Copy the fixed files there and confirm Replace. Keep a backup of the original files first. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #16765025]
Any expert tip on the legal boundary here?
One contributor summarized the boundary clearly: “Legally without getting the original disc – no.” If you proceed for personal use, understand the license violation risk and potential consequences. [Elektroda, helmud7543, post #16763090]
