Foreword
Most of this info can be found in multiple topics. I have tried a few guides and I want to share what worked for me. It is basically a combination of 2 fixes.
Files needed
Here is a link to the zip:
http://rr2000.toshiba-3.com/R4/PC/carma-winmm.zip
(not my upload)
Fixing files
1. Overwrite only the winmm.dll from the zip in steam\steamapps\common\Carmageddon2\
2. Rename Carma2_HW.exe to anything else and run it (for example Carma2_HW_music.exe)


Enjoy Iron Maiden.

Notes
Don't run the game from steam, it will detect modified files and correct them. You will have do the fixing again.

Steam doesn't record playtime this way.



(Bonus offtopic tip: if USS Lewinsky freezes the game, you set the "Yon" too high in the options.txt)

!UPDATE! - works with Steam
Thanks to De Seppe, here is a solution to run the game from Steam and count playtime:

1. Open a Command Prompt as Adminstrator
2. Navigate to
steam\steamapps\common\Carmageddon2\
3. Execute following command:
mklink CARMA2_HW.exe CARMA2_HW_MUSIC.exe

This way Steam will see the original filename, but it launches the modded one.

I've found a solution! Do everything in the guide - replace winmm.dll file, rename CARMA2_HW.EXE to CARMA2_HW_MUSIC.EXE and mklink files with Command Prompt. After all right click on Carma2 in steam library, go to Properties and enter:

"CARMA2_HW_MUSIC" %command%

to lanuch option section. It's worked for me. This command will force steam to open Carmageddon 2 via CARMA2_HW_MUSIC.EXE file but .symlink CARMA2_HW.EXE file(made by mklink in CMD) still must exist to work! Winmm.dll must be replace to work.

Hi MaRV,
both files should exist by the time you do the "mklink" part. The command does not create a file, rather converts the original file to a link to the modified file. This is because the original file is needed for steam.
Maybe you weren't running command prompt as admin, or something prevents the modification(?).

Привет. Помогите плз. Делаю все как вы говорите. На этапе когда делаю команду mklink CARMA2_HW.exe CARMA2_HW_MUSIC.exe пишет - невозможно создать файл т.к он уже существует. Как еще можно попробовать вернуть музыку ? спс
