Stronghold 2 v1.3.1

[Joe Forster/STA]

Did you A) mount the image or B) burned it with Alcohol 120% and then used it in your CD/DVD-ROM drive with RPMS emulation enabled in Alcohol 120%? Solution A) will not work, while solution B) may work.

I have read all your problems you have with Stronghold 2.. i have try'ed everything. i got it to work with SD4Hide the 1.1v and SR7.stop
and when i quit the game and try'ed to start it up agein no nothing just:
"A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed" or "Emulation detected"
I have tryed to burn disc 2 in Alcohole 120%. and no nothing, but then i used SR7.stop and Hided and then i used SD4hide at the same time i got it to work but just once. And i hope a crack can be relesed because its a killer game

Joe Forester. Can u show me? i did not see it. Its not one word that say executed in this thread so .. . . but can u answer me?? this is a help forum right? A required security module can not be activated. Why do i get this massage when i use my original cd?

This complete sentence "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed" is mentioned letter by letter in the FAQ. Search for it and you'll find it! (Are you reading the PC Forum FAQ or something else?!)

I Tried both a) and b) but nothing worked. I've much different kind of errors like emulator detected using option a) (also with alcohol and savehider. And When I Burn the disc with Alcohol I've got an error because it's not the original disc.

What's the problem? Is it the problem that the DELUXE version is on DVD and the image is an cd image? or is it something else?

Greetings Koenll
(waiting and hoping that a exe crack comes out voor 1.3.1...)

Oh, by the way, for RPMS emulation to work with Alcohol 120% and the backup copy CD, inserted into a physical CD-DVD/ROM drive, you need to also burn the RPMS emulation information onto the backup CD! See "Burn 'RPMS' to recordable media" on the Alcohol 120% Image Burning Wizard "Prepare your CD/DVD Recorder" screen.

1 slight problem...



It reckons there is no RMPS information in the source, and it wont let me check the box (Burn RMPS to recordable media). I have RMPS enabled in Alchohol 120% settings.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Guess what, you need to READ the RPMS information from the original...

Could you, please, try without step 6 (enabling RMPS emulation in Daemon Tools) and report back if it still works? Thanks!

I did everything step by step, and it didn't work for me. Still says: "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed."

First I tried with a CD-RW and it didn't worked. The I tried with a CD-R. Didn't worked either.

I am using Daemon Tools v4.03HE with RMPS Emulation On.

I have 2 physical drives. One is a DVD Drive, and the other one is a DVD-RAM drive. I don't have CD-ROM drives. Could this be the problem ?

and tried to play but it didnt't work.
there is a errror:

plz can someone help me
