Hi all

I just got a simple question. I mounted the .mdf image with Alcohol 120% (the mini images from gcw dont work) and the game works... BUT it is really slow.. map changes need minutes and even ingame every move loads for some seconds... so its a really bad lag. Is this beacause my PC sucks or is this normal when you mount images? Would the game be faster with the original CD in the drive?

Thanks all

@Vasquez
Why dont you try it with the original, that way you will know for yourself, I cant give you a definate answer on it as I personally dont like mounting images! If there are no NoCD cracks available I just use the original disc until the NoCD becomes available.

Yes i agree with you Luci, if i am playing a game and there isnt a NoCD crack available, I too just leave the disc in the drive! Like Halflife2 disc just stayed in there for 3 full days, my drive only got a rest thanks to Hijack.

well, the original CD got eaten by my dog together with my homework *cough*
So I dont have it anymore and would just like to know if the image mounting is responsible for the lag

Thanks

@Grumpy
Well uhm... ok... how bout "I didnt do it, the dog did!" *sighs*

@Luci
It does still live.... but I thought about slicing him up to get my Original VTM CD back.... oh and dont worry, I will sew him together afterwards

At least if I wont figure out if the image mounting is slowing the PC...
