[Optimummind]

I want to share with all those who are having trouble running FEAR what I did to make my copy work.

(1) Install game from DVD disc.
(2) Created an image of FEAR thru A120% v1.9.5.3105. Burned at 4x speed.
(3) Ran Diskeeper v8 to defragment my C drive.
(4) Mounted the FEAR mds file to a virtual drive created under A120% v1.9.5.3105 with all emulation settings checked.
(5) Opened SecROM7Stop v1.0. Clicked on the "Hide" button. Once the program confirmed that all 5 of my virtual CD drives were hidden, I closed the program.
(6) Double-clicked on the FEAR desktop icon.
(7) The game loaded!!
(8) After exiting FEAR, restarted the SecROM7Stop program and clicked on the button to un-hide all of my virtual drives.
(9) That's it!!

Now, I don't know if this method will continue to work after applying the v1.01 patch. i know one member in this thread said that his FEAR still loaded up.

Is there anyone else who can confirm that such a method as this still works after installing the v1.01 patch?
