After making an image of my store-bought DVD I mounted it with the latest Alcohol. I used SD4hide to hide the alcohol program. However, when I launch Civ IV - the pre-game launch screen pops up and disappears followed by a windows error
AppName: civilization4.exe Appver: 0.21.0.1674 ModName: ~db394b.tmp ModVer 0.0.0.0 Offset 00084c9c .
When I turn off SD4hide, the game launches fine but then asks for my original DVD (and I cannot since my DVD drive is kaputt).
So the game crashes if I use SD4hide and asks for DVD if I do not. I also tried using Daemon tools but no luck.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Sorry for bad englisch, it is not my native tongue.
UPDATE: Resolved
I had to insert the MDS instead of the MDF file.
