Success. The Mafia 2 Free Ride mod is working. In case someone else is trying to figure out how to eliminate the “Appears that it was not purchased” message from Steam, here’s what I did:
(1) Re-installed Mafia 2 and let it install with the Steam stuff.
(2) Downloaded the Crack v1.2 and unzipped it. There were five files
(3) Opened the Mafia 2 folder in C/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/mafia ii
(4) Moved the four files from the unzipped Crack v1.2 into the mafia ii/pc folder and clicked “replace” each time.
(5) Closed the mafia ii folder and moved it from SteamApps/common to Program Files (x86).
The tech support at Steam is totally useless and not even worth bothering with unless you want to simply tell them how lousy they are. The tech support at 2K games at least tried to find a solution and actually seemed concerned when they couldn’t.
So anyway, thanks very much for your help and patience, I greatly appreciate it.
