Flat Out Protection

[t.foster73]

Has anyone bought this (Released in UK today), and used A-Scanner to check the protection. I played the demo, which was superb, but it restarted my machine, which looks like it may be Ye olde pal Starforce.

I've used Clony XXL for scanning this game. And Clony has find out that it is protected with SafeDisc.

Ever so slightly off topic, but I played the demo last night. Cool game. The Nitrous effect has been blatently stolen from Burnout (I think even Midnight Club had that blur effect too). Even that whole 'throw the driver through the windscreen' has a Takenout/Takedown feel to it (also from Burnout). If you dont have access to Burnout 3, then get this, as its probably the closest you will ever get to Burnout on the PC

Riiiiiiiiiisssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I believe it's not out in the US until next year. Does this mean less chance of a NOCD do you think?

[Newbinator]

how come the game is already out?? gamespot said it will be out next year??

and will there be a No-CD crack released soon? i really want to buy this game in canada..but dunno where

[Luciel]

ive talked to friends in other countrys and it looks like uk got an early release
wich is weird.

[freeman002]

Does anyone no when a nocd will be released for this as ive tried to make working backups from the origionals it keeps saying insert cd even used 4.7 of deamon toolz still no luck also is it just me or does this game swap-file a **** load mine jerks every so often and the cd light locks up so a nocd would be great it would also fix my backup i suppose as im not very clued up on all this deamon tools safedisk emulation ****....

mobo is

athlon 2600xp
2x 150 sata 80gig 7200 rpm drives
windows swapfile on second drive not windows installed drive
epox main board (wicked i might add)

no other game does this id just like to add

[pc_plod]

any news on a no-cd yet ???
only ive heard that there are other "copys" flying about that work without a no-cd just via daemon tools

[pc_plod]

ive sorted it out, seems the game was picking up on clonecd virtual drives (even though i'd got them disabled)... uninstalled clonecd and game plays a treat with image 1 mounted on daemon

[BarryB]

I think this game has the new Safedisc v4 or Safedisc Advanced (maybe they are one and the same?), that's why Clony and other ID progs can't find the signatures. The fact it has 00000001.TMP and 00000002.TMP files on the CD suggest Safedisc as well.

If it is a new breed of Safedisc it may take a bit more time for a crack, nevermind a 'working' crack to appear.

In Germany it´s defently Savedisk.With the new Version of Clone cd and Deamon toll you can Play without cd.When you use Mini Image Recorder

mh, strange, mir doesn´t work for me, i can only play with mounting the full ccd image of cd 1

[Rayder]

To those having "emulation detected..." issues with CloneCD and this game when mounting in D-Tools......open the CloneCD tray icon and UNcheck "Hide CDR Media". To successfully mount it in D-Tools, ALL the emulation options MUST be enabled in D-Tools. That should fix it for ya.

Of course there is always the thing of "just use the originals" too.

Great game BTW.
