Need Help
 

Ok i have finally found a way to get it to start after about 6 hours of reading the ways listed here and trying them. Now that it starts it will load through the movies and then get to the Please wait loading... screen 3 secs or so after it shuts itself off. Does anyone else have this problem or know how i can fix it. I know it is not my hardware because i have played it before on this computer before i patched to 141. Second, is there a way for me to roll back my patching to 140? 141 seems to be the starting point of my problems. also if it helps here is the warning log

Thanks in advance.

The way i got it to work.
 

The process i used to get it to start was.

- Start daemon tools v4.0 and mount the .bwt mini image.
- Shut off daemon tools
- Not sure that this affected anything but i then turned on anti-blaxx and shut it off again.
- i then started the game and it worked fine no errors. (now just to get around this loading problem.)

Found a way to make it work
 

OK guys for those of you who have a Blindwrite version (and are to cheap to go buy the game) I have found a way to make winter assault work with a bit of hassle but it should be worth it. Now on with it:

1> Keep the .BWA file but move it (not copy) or cut and paste into another Folder why not call the folder BWA

2> Have only tried it on Daemon Tools v3.47 so im not sure if it will work on highers i guess it should

3> Try to have DoW v1.40 (not sure if 1.0 will work or another version for that fact)

4> Test DoW v1.40 (note this is just what i did)

5> Install Winter Assault

6> Move .BWA file back into CD1 of Winter Assault

7> Turn on Securom emulation in daemon tools reason for this is becasue it will emulate the certain files on the original cd that are not there in the burned copy thus allowing it to be read with less error

8> change the file disk1check.exe to disk1check.exe.bak (idea form someone elses post good idea guy)

9> then run Winter Assault through i believe the .BWT file or W40kWA.exe

Also would like to note I am not using the Mini Image and no it doesnt work this way but you'll need teh .BWT file in daemon tools to play though

If all else fails just keep trying different ideas mix and match them until it works for you.

Well, I tried ALL the solutions over this point but NO ONE worked!
I think my problem is the following: I cant mount the bwt file from the crack!
Daemon Tools v4 says "File not accesable!"
Please help me.
P.S.: I got the 2nd cd and a key cause the 1st cd has been crashed ba my little sister!

@DonSailieri
Contact the publisher for a replacement disc.

a crack arrived by reloaded. OH YEA!!!

Where's the crack Farcry?
 

ok well seems I'm on my way to get cracking to play this game soon. I am fairly new to this brilliant collection of ideas. well If it may be so I have to thank the person that made this increadibly easy thanks Reloaded. I have to find the crack first lol.... happy new years 2!

Why cant you play without the crack?

yeah thats funny, i cant get it to work... I have just a few hours exp... and i cant get it to work just tells me to insert the cd/dvd... i tried a couple of things mentioned but i f**k it up somehow...

@ Mr Croon
Ok so your new to adding cracks to your game but surely you must have been able to play it without the use of a crack? By using the disc to play I mean! :confused:

Will there also be a crack which works with version 1.41?

I have not been able to get the reloaded crack to work. But then again I have the U.S. version. I think it only works with EURO version or their cracked release.

BTW The way I was able to get Winter Assault to work without the cd was...

Create a full image using Alcohol %120 with securom 4/5 settings. Then loading it up into Daemon Tools 4.0. I had all emulation on. I think alot of the mini-images need very particular settings/system config to work.

OT: Join #dawnofwar @efnet for multiplayer please make sure you install the latest patch (1.41)

Online Multiplayer?
 

Hi Guys,
I got The Mini CD To Work (#2 from GCW) and evrything worked fine and the game would start up. I Could play The Campaigns, Skirmishes, Lan and Direct Ip.
When I Tried to Play an online game tho, in the process of loggin on i would get 'a CD Authentication Failed' and it would not log in. (this was with the Mini CD)
When i Used my Original CD it worked fine, Is There any way to play Online Without having to use my Original CD Cause i share this computer with others and they just leave my cd's out anywhere.

really?
 

u really got it to work. erally now, no joke,
umm how u get this any way:eek:

I have to say that installing the patches is unnecessary, as Winter Assault patches it up to 1.40 beforehand. Nevertheless, I've followed these instructions to the letter, but I get the error:

"Original CD could not be authenticated or verified"

or words to that effect (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about):mad: :confused: :confused: . The program I'm using is Alcohol 120% v 1.9.5

I've also tried alternate solutions (besides those using other mounting software) to no avail...HELP!!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:
