Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

[schlaufer]

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

same here ...
both of this

* Vampire - Bloodlines [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed Image
* Vampire - Bloodlines [ALL] No-CD/Fixed Image
I also changed the drivers name > no effect
nothing worked

isnt anyone listening to me? clonecd is the reason. i got only alcohol installed, no daemon no ccd. i created an image with safedisc 2/3 profile, works perfectly. no problem here?!

i think bierhuettls right. i kept getting the emulation detected error message (even with original game disks), then i uninstalled clonecd and the game works fine.

then i tried the 2 files from gamecopyworld, they both worked for me. tried reinstalling clonecd and now nothing works again (either the originals, or using either of the little images)

im mounting those files using daemon tools, so it seems vampire has no problem with that program. i dont have alcohol at all, so cant vouch for that
