FEAR 1.01 and LG Supermulti DVD

[Amphetamine]

Anyone know how to get this POS working on the LG Supermulti DVD burners after the 1.01 patch? sierra tech support have no clue as expected and do nothing more than cnp **** from the faq which I already tried before talking to them. Have upgraded secrom verion, upgraded dvd firmware, blah blah blah... Still says that it can't find the dvd. It spins it up and reads for a few seconds then says it can't find/auth the disc. They obviously ****ed somthing up in 1.01, but they won't admit it, still maintaining that it's somthing at my end which is wrong even though it worked before the patch and doesn't after.

Anyone know a surefire way of actually playing the game that I've paid for, short of using a nodvd patch (which I'm not too keen on since I want to play it online as well).

thanks in advance.
