Use Miniimage
 

Well, what about using a miniimage then with freeware daemon tools lite v.4.30.1.

Works like a charm, no need of a crack and no need to insert the dvd in any drive.

Don't use the fixed exe
 

My first posts about it where deleted I have this one without my personal opinion is ok the the mod.:

1. The fixed exe does not work. You can only play until you reach the first city, but then a second ingame copy protection is active that keeps an important NPC from Spawning. Even if you remove the fixed exe saved games won't work. You have to start a new game without the exe to make the game work. Mini image works fine!

2. Users who have problems with Drakensang like a black screen at startup have perhaps codec problems. Try starting it with the option -novideo. (Helped me).

3. If you encounter crashes with explorer at right clicks that's a SecuRom problem, you may have it even without the mini image, but there is a fix out there.

@Mod: In your PM you wrote "don't PM me leave it to the forum" so I write it here: I don't think I did a double post because the other thread was about which copy protection Drakensang has and I added that it does not only have SecuRom but also an ingame check. And here I wrote that the crack (fixed exe) does not work...

and you started a rant / rave, which is why it was deleted, stay on topic

and the 'dont pm me' is my signature

Hey ;)
Ive tried the mini images from gamecopyworld.. I mounted it with the newest version of daemon tools (downloadet it half an hour ago ;D), but when i try to start the "cd", i get an error that says its broken.. Is this my mistake or...?


Excuse my bad english, thanks beforehand!

You can't launch the game from a mini image. Read the PC Games forum FAQ!

@ digital-fol

you write, that it may happen that people get right click Explorer errors.
This is what happens to me.
I almost cannot work with windows. It crashes all the time
when I use my right mouse button.
Is it a securom-driver issue, that slowly kills my Windows ?

What is the solution for it ?
You mentioned, that there is a fix out there.
Please post a link to the cure, if possible.

Thank you very much.

Context menu bugfix:

yup, try that zip file, and securom doesn't use drivers

What exactly is this bugfix? Some documentation (or URL of that), please. Thanks!

When rightclicking any file Explorer.exe crashes due to poorly implemented context menu handler.
Repair.zip fixes that issue.

Hi, i am the only one with the crack bugs? ;)
i mean, the crack protection of drakensang, when it detects that the game is cracked. At time I hang in Fedork and NPC Player issent coming.

Can I get a bowl of chicken noodle soup with that?

I have no clue what you just said at the end there dude. :P

Or you one of those annoying bots that imitates words in a thread?

he refer to post #30
the crack seems to work but he believes the game does strange things like in-game npc (none player characters ) are missing or do not response to player ...

thank u guppyblue, thats what i mean :)

k, with with the dvd image it works fine ;)
