Act of War - Windows 98 ?

[Grumpy]

@herc
Yes I can clearly see it says Win98! If I was you I would be demanding a refund if you cannot get the game to work on your Win98 system!
P.S: and why do you have 2 user names?

Did you update to latest patch for game?

Have you installed GFX card drivers?

Have you installed DirectX 9?

Do you have compatible GFX card and Sound Card?

Also Securom have released an updated exe for the game here

ProtectionID scan shows no protection on this file, only this:

File Type : Exe, Size : 20413952 (01377E00h) Bytes
-> Suspicious MZ Header.. 
[!] Possible CD/DVD-Key or Serial Check -> CDKey
- Scan Took : 4.562 Seconds

So I guess I'm gonna test this one and see what happens. Perhaps it is an "official" NoCD for the patch. I'll be back later.

I dunno, but its straight from securom so I doubt there is any badness involved, and it may possibly be a no-cd seeing as many are having problems with their latest protection

Well the file is not a crack. I tried first installing from my backup, applied the RLD crack to start the game once, reverted to original .exe. Patched the game, tried to start it. It says "no disc inserted". Applied the file, still the same message.

Uninstalled the game, installed from my original disc, started it once with CD in drive, patched, tried to play - no problems. Applied this file, the game started for me. Removed the CD and tried to play, no go.

Long story short, this is not a NoCD or FixedEXE.
