Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

I don't know if anyone has the same as mine, what happened was - when I start the game to the "black screen" it just pop up a windows and said runt time error

I think we are slowly approaching a time where the copy protection gurus are beating the crackers. No-cd cracks used to come out within a day or two of releases, sometimes before.

These days there are games which are uncrackable (dtm toca 2, fade etc) and some which require really dirty methods to get working. Now with HL2 and steam activation also.

Looks like their wining the battle!

no. the games you talk about are starforce protected. this one is safedisc, it recognizes clonecd, and if you got that one installed, it won't boot up. if you only use alcohol, create images with sd2/3 profile and mount the images in the internal virtual drive, it works perfectly. but okay, it seems no one listens to me here *pops original disc in and plays* :-)

never had installed anything else than alcohol 120%, still can't play.

How do you mount images in the internal virtual drive? What is an internal virtual drive?

[Yapa]

bierhuettl,

I have done this many times with alcohol and Deamon tools (latest versions). It works for some but does not work for others. I've NEVER had clonecd installed, and you would know this if you've read my previous post.

Here's a tip to all of you:
Never use Alcohol to mount/install games. Just to burn certain images.
The virtual clone drive does not fully support every type of image. As I've had nothing but trouble with it. So for your mounting needs, for the love of god, use Daemon tools.

Fade is crackable!

@Van Tokkern
G'day Mate, I will agree with what you say about Alcohol's virtual drives! I never even install them or Uninstall them as soon as ive installed Alcohol. They are a pain! But I never use Dameon Tools either! I either use a NoCD (if available) or just use the original discs.

montnoir still hopes someone be a chum and explains to him the virtual drive issue

montnoir has heard rumors that the UK version of bloodlines is CUT and edited. Is this true?!
