This a well known issue : the protection is testing only two keys in your registry :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elaborate Bytes\CloneCD]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Slysoft\CloneCD]

The solution is also well known :

1/ use Regedit to save these two keys in .reg files
2/ use Regedit to delete these two keys
3/ launch the game and play
4/ after you quit the game, restore these two keys by launching the .reg files

Note you can do all that automatically with a batch file. I can put my batch file here if you are interested.

Bonjour chez vous,
Ma Pomme

I don't get it. I thought that Bloodlines detects only if a mounted image is active. What has to do with CloneCD ?

Don't trust what they SAY, look what they DO.

A long time ago, CloneCD has included a virtual disk. Then the copy protection blacklisted CloneCD. Now we use Daemon, and the protection always blacklists CloneCD. Next year, they will blacklist Daemon, and we will use NewDaemon... The copy protection is like the philosophy (following Hegel): it comes always too late.

The trick I described works perfectly for me. And don't tell me you do not have CloneCD installed: please look your in your registry, if you have one of the 2 keys. Don't trust what the installers and uninstallers say, look what they do.

Remember also that at Daemon's installation, you can choose the name of the pseudo-device you are installing: don't give a name that calls for the blacklisting.

Bonjour chez vous,
Ma Pomme
