use DT4.08 + yasu 1.04 and unhook any available CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Writers or deactivate all optical IDE drive(s) in the Device Manager.
i'm sure do like this can launch game, many people use this method play the 1.01

alright gonna try this

well , if i deactivate ide driver i got an .exe error my vegas_game.exe wont work anymore , if a reactivate my ide driver my game will tell me to put my retail cd in another driver :P this kind of gay .

Someone unhook the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, without use yasu, also can play 1.01

tried all suggestions, and i get a crash too :(

HAALP!!!

yeah but he unhook manually in his computer case ...i just don't wanna do that ...i waiting for my copy :P an eventual crack is surely on his way

Mount image in DT
Run YASU
Disable your IDE optical drives in Device Manager
Set the R6Vegas_Game.exe compatibility mode to Windows 2000

voila

unhooking? nah just play with discs. much better than unhooking drives. or wait till a crack is out

Ya is working now ..just disable ide drive in device manager just be sure to all deactivate it ! dont need to put compatibility at windows 2000

Nah, still crashes for me.

Disabled all but the daemon drive, and i get a crash instead of an error.

need a fix!!!

For the crash, set the exe compatibility mode to Windows 2000

tried that

then tried win 98
then tried setting _game.exe and _launcher.exe to different compatability modes,
tried all kinds of stuff :(

lol... restarted, it works now... thanks!!!

does someone got the command list for the console ???

Still doesnt work for me, after all possibilities of restarts and software help, it either causes a crash or an error.
