Request for Project Snowblind CD Fix

[vampayne]

I need a No CD fix for project snowblind please. I waited 2 weeks. Thanks

[noob]

There simply isn't one available at the moment mate.
Bloody thing runs like a slideshow on my P4 2.66, 1Gb Ram, X800XT PE rig, so I'm looking out for a nocd too in case it makes it playable for me. That or a patch from the developers.

Try a different set of Catalyst drivers. nVIDIA cards had a similar symptom as your when the game was run with the 71.84 drivers. In order to get normal framerates, I changed my drivers to the 76.41 beta set.

For ATI cards, you could try an older set and see what happens.

I had the same slideshow on my P4 2.4 with a FX5700 and 1gig ram until I changed the drivers to 66.93

I was addressing my comment to the person who was suffering from the ultra-slow playrate.

As for the No-CD, it isn't out yet so play with your original till then.

As soon as there's a generic crack for SecuROM 7, there will be a no-cd fix for Project Snowblind. Patience.

Also does Snowblind require a cd key. I didn't see one in the case.

Burn the game with Blindwrite 5.2,
then you don't need a nocd fix to play the game

Eh? If you own the original you would have installed and seen if it needed one or not.

Thats wrong, I just used it and when I try to start game it says "Original Disk Could Not Be Found or Authenticated"

Well, it worked for me. YAY!! I used Blindwrite v5.2.10.

Ahhhh but this not true. When burning a game with blindwrite or clonecd etc etc a 1.1 copy need's to be made in order to be able to play without a crack/fixed exe (providing its protected in the 1st place of course). And as im sure some of you are aware a 1.1 copy isnt only software related its hardware related to so AThumbTack would of been right in what he said. As would Thc + Optimummind because they obviously made 1.1 backup's for their perticular drives. Dont be so quick to say some-one is wrong unless you are extremley rarely wrong yourself which is extremley rare in its self

If for some reason you can't make a 1:1 try this.

Use regedit.

Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Then SYSTEM
Look for a listing that says MountedDevices
Right click and choose PERMISSIONS
Highlight Administrators on the top box then look for the listing on the bottom box that says READ.
Now place a check mark in the DENY box on the READ line.
Hit APPLY, then OK and you're done.

Works for Project: Snowblind no problem and it uses SR7. What is does is deny Safedisk access to the CD/DVD to verify, so SD assumes your copy is legit and the game starts.

Just remember to always make a backup of your registry before making any changes. I have not had one single issue.

Sorry this works if you have backup or image of your game in your CD/DVD drive or virutal Drive. Forgot about that.

dantivirus: tried this just now to no avail. even tried checking deny/read on each and every item under Mounted Devices. Am I missing something? It doesn't seem to make a difference; still detecting emu.
