Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

[Carpathious]

I wonder if there is just going to be a cd crack. I have scanned my registery and found nothing, what ever happened to the good ole fashion no cd crack.
Thanks for the info guys,
Carp

I don't quite understand how it works, I download the fixed image in GCW and mount it with Daemon. but it just said run time error when i run it

i bought the original game yesterday and tried if there is really a problem.
don't know what you want... i made images of all discs with alcohol's safedisc 2/3 profile, mounted one after another with alcohol to install the game and it starts without any problem from that virtual drive.

I've tried the image in the archive svtmb.rar on GCW.

First attempt (daemon 347): Failed
Second attempt (Alcohol 1.9.2_1705): Failed
Third attempt (uninstalled Alcohol, used daemon 3.47): Failed

Now I also removed daemon tools and recognised, that I still had &(§"$/( CloneCD installed. Removed this too. Rebooted. Re-installed daemon and changed the IDs of the miniport driver and device. Mounted image. And it worked!!!

So I am not sure, if it was the (re-)installation, the new ids or the removal of CloneCD. But finally I can play w/o. CD until a No-CD arrives.

I don't quite get it, could you explain in more detail pls ? I don't have CloneCD(the program, right ?)but I don't quite get how to changed the IDs of the miniport driver and device, could you tell me more about it ?

If you install daemon tools 3.47 on fresh system (i.e. after uninstalling and rebooting), the installer presents you a dialog with those values during installation. The default values are something like d347prt and d347sys. Just change those strings to anything you like.

it still doesn't work
I change it to driver1 and minport (the name) but it still said C++ runtime error when I run the game
