WarHammer 40K DoW 1.41 Mini Image?
 
I know there's a Mini-Image for Winter Assault but does one exist for Dawn of War? The CD is really lodged into its holder/clip and removing it to play every time is stress inducing.
If one isn't available do I need to make a good image from my CD and run it using Cureom? I'm worried about running it via image only to receive a blacklisting from Securom.
Has anyone had any success in running DoW with either a mini or full image of their original? I don't mind running it from a full image of CD 1 if I have to. I like my cd's in their box on the bookshelf..:)
Shame a fixed .exe never eventuated for this..
Still the 1.5 patch should be released soon and hopefully that will generate some interest from a savvy cracking crew..:rolleyes:

Yeah, a mini-image for Dawn of War (NOT WINTER ASSAULT) would be nice to...

I don't know about a mini image, but i do know that 5star Game Copy will let you at least play DoW 1.41 (i don't know if it'll let you play online though)

I just want a backup for playing the campaigns..
I made a 1X DPM image of disc 1 with Alcohol and mounted it in latest Dtools(no emulation) with Curerom 2.02 profile(no virtual drive options) and it keep getting a no disc found error. At least it didnt give me an Emulation Detected error.
I just want a backup for playing the campaigns.
It's no biggie if I cant get it to run without the cd but I'm persistant all the same..

*EDIT/UPDATE* Just got it working. Made a "SecuRom New" 1X High DPM image with Alcohol, created a Curerom 2.02 profile with no virtual drive settings selected and it runs a treat.
The good thing is, is that Dawn of War (GotY) disc1 image is roughly 220 mbs's. I don't mind that much hard-drive real estate being utilized if it saves the stress of removing the damn thing from the case, fearing every time I do I'm going to snap it..

Just a heads up, seems like the new v1.5 patch for DOW removes Securom from the game and also Winter Assault by the looks of it as running PEiD on the game folder shows no Securom on any EXE's.

Only tested with DOW as I don't have Winter Assault but I didn't need a disc in the drive to play :)

No disc needed for either the game or expansion.

Thanks Outy2, so it's confirmed patch 1.5 indeed removes Securom from the game :)

Works a treat.
The patch includes some great fixes, balances and tweaks.
It's also allowed me to delete my backup images of DoW and WA too..
Shuweet..
