it uses Tages v5.5.2 + SolidShield as protection
Ok then it will last a bit longer until a crack will be released. Thx for the info.

Glade to see it's gone back to a Point n Click style game rather than the stupid 3D version they came up with last time!!

I assume this is a German release, not seen a date for English :(

Don't let Reloaded/Silentgate near it though :)

the additional SolidShield is pretty new and crackers need to spend time with it... it has been "cracked" in WarFront Turning Point, sadly they used a loader (crack doesn´t start at OEP).
SolidShield seems to be tricky with its VM...

Virtual CD is prolly blacklisted in Tages v5.5.2, perhaps thats the reason it freezes...

the so called "crack" is a loader. also rumors say it freezes/crashes at some place when using it. the solid shield protection seems like a though one because all cracks are loaders, not a single rebuilded exe...

I guess VM based protections often take rather long to be cracked properly since you have to analyze their structure etc which can take several weeks or months, depending on the amount of crackers in a group focussing on it.

I dont think "import redirection" (is there one ?) is very ahrd compared to the VM and virtualized code.

Anway, I'm not the pro, RLD is :)

crack is not properly working. Stops the game at a certain point.

Hm, can you describe exactly where this point is and what´s (not) happening? Thx.

The point where it freezes is the scene after Simon meets his double at the road junction. There is a pursuit after that, Simon and his double reach the castle and thats the point where it freezes.

There is an hourglass, a black screen and nothing else happens, even after minutes of waiting.

The game always gets stuck when one clicks to the town gate on the street.

So you may never click to the town gate on the street at present, the Game then immediately hangs itself up!

There is a savegame behind this street to the town gate here.

Vista it's guilty for official protection removal. Most of the protections(Securom, Starforce, Tages) are conflicting with Vista protection. :D

chron

never heard of securom conflicting with vista...

chron

20-03-2007, 07:42

Because Securom on the disc is the conflict :D it is a cross platform conflict.

C.Miller

20-03-2007, 14:16

What is securom...??

But i use win xp...

GLH

20-03-2007, 22:19

Securom is a professional CopyProtection, like Safedisc, StarForce, Táges, ProtectCD, ...)

hc.dll contains the solid shield protection. seems like the patch you installed either replaced the dll only or the exe, but not both.

thank you killer..
and how can i solve this problem..

Here in the forum people tell that the game works with this crack?

chron

21-03-2007, 05:41

Deinstall the game, reinstall the game, apply the 1.1 patch (could take up to a half hour until the patch react depending on your machine).

After that, apply the crack.

Is there a way to remove tages from the Simon 4 installation program?
Game installation is impossible on modern systems (Vista and newer) because it installs old Tagès drivers and gives a compatibility error/installation abort. U have to manually install the updated version of that crap (http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm) every time you want to install the game -_-
