ISS3 and bloodrayne trouble (latest securom)

[alex_voyager]

I have this trouble with latest securom games on my win98se system:

ISS3 and Bloodrayne will run only the first time...the second time give a illegal operation on address 000:bc00xxxx and the games don't run!
After a reboot is all ok for the first run!

the same problem with the original and the copies!

maybe securom is buggy with 98se??

What say the official game support about that problem ?

[alex_voyager]

I don't think that is a game problem but protection problem.
I think that on the game exit the memory is not clear and some process remains active.
I will write to software house about this but i want know is there is someone that have the same problem...

Mmmmm.... have you tried to use (1) cracks or (2) Alcohol120% to make an image and mount that ? If nr (2) also crashes, it's definitely a securom problem.

I have tried: DON't WORKS!

With or without Alcohol EMULATION, ORIGINAL and NOT ORIGINAL, removing all the programs in the tray and in the win98se startup...
The games play one time...after the first time i must reboot to play again!

All securom protected game win 98se...is it possible that this problem is only a my problem???

For me is a bad use of memory for securom protection that not kill all processes after quit game.

And other games play ok ? It could very well be a securom problem. Go to the publisher/developer's forums for the game and demand they do something about it, after all it was their dumb idea to use securom :D You might want to keep checking out cracks, some crack groups rip out all securom related code, so with those cracks you might have better luck. Have you tried a gimpsRus crack (those are usually pretty good, don't know if they did one for those games). And another thing, windows 98 is getting more and more unsupported, it's a very real possibility that future securom games won't work under win 98 anymore...
