Nero DriveSpeed might help when DPM file quality is so-so.

@TippeX
It's been recommended before some times, e.g. for GRID Mini; don't remember the others

aah weird, cos i thought daemon tools was meant to handle all that... but yep if dpm is crap then i can see why... crazy, seems as protection 'evolves' more and more steps are needed... like unplugging all ide drives, and so on... most of the time its easier just to pop the disk in and be done with it

Mini image gets detected by SecuROM - full image is working fine.

Okay, I've just seen the game, and frankly is a mess. A friend of mine bought it today, despite my warnings. Now he awaits for Monday morning to return it. This game is quite a mess: poor controls and a lots of bugs are just a few turnoffs. Also the poor optimization it can drive crazy most of the people. Yes, the graphics are nice, but everything feels so half-baked, so rushed. No amount of patches could solve the mess that the fifth installment of AITD is...:(
And yes, you need the DVD in drive after activating the game:(
And I had so many hopes for this one. I'll stick to not buying it. Atari should really stop rushing things(TDU and the NWN2 are other fine examples of Atari rushing their titles out, but those two had problems that were solved in the patches, thing that i can't really see happening with AITD5)

I didn't buy the game but watched the video review gametrailers made and it just like you said: a mess. they said the graphics are good but gameplay isn't. searching other sites and reading their reviews, confirms that.
A shame. If is not a console port then is a rushed version.

They took their sweet time doing some very nice graphics, but they did it completely bad at the part that matters most: gameplay and controls. And the game was developpped with the consoles in mind and even there they managed to do it poorly. Shame on Atari.

Its the same like Bioshock, after online Activation u have 2 put the DvD in the LW :mad: I hate it but do it :p I didn´t think this mini image is the better way. 2 the Game: i like it. very good Grafik and Effects. With Mouse and Keyboard i can play very good, didn´t understand what someone have? :)

You don't need a crack, just mount the full image which you have created with New SecuROM profile.

do you mean daemon tools securom emulation? i already try it and the game gives me the emulation detection error.

neither the mini image or the full image works unless is from steam i guess.

You don't need to activate SecuRom emulation, it is also a bit system dependable, so it works for some users and for some not. These users have to wait for DT update.

i mount my image that i made from my original but it says securom emulation detected etc and what does the New securom profile mean ? am i missing something ?.

I'm talking about latest DT Pro Advanced final version (as i already mentioned it is not working for everyone, but for the most) and the profile is in image creation dialog.

so i mount my image with this daemon tools using this profile?? or i have to make a new image using that profile and that daemons ?
(if that the case i didn't know that daemon tools allows you to make images of your dvds.)

you MAKE your image using that profile... and blazkowicz also mentions daemon tools pro advanced...

the free version (which i suspect you are using) doesn't have the image making feature...

Thank you for clearing that up about the Daemon Pro i guess ill either have to wait till someone comes out with another means cause i just cant justify paying for DTpro to play this game but thanks again atleast i know now .
