It seems, there is a difference between the CD and the DVD version. The most f***ing shit is - on my Notebook I even cannot get the org......

Thank you all!

Weird thing :/ Anyway i am not sure if it is ok but if you bought originall maybe you can download image files with what curerom will works ? Well I don't know if it is piracy. On the other hand if you have originall why you can't just use your dvds ?

Cheers

If I start from the Org. DVD the Software says after one or two seconds: "Emulator Software and Virtual CDs detected. Please uninstall and deactivate Virtual drives . . ."

He, I am not willing to uninstall Alcohol 120 or Virtual CD 6.0 just to play one game!

Ahhhh... "Org.DVD=origanall dvd" Sry my english is not good and I didn't understand it at beggining, well I was talking with my friend who has DVD version and he said that he doesn't have any problems with running it on laptop using curerom but he must run it in lite mode too. Make image files using Alcohol, than uninstall Alcohol and try run it using DT4 and curerom, we will see if it is alcohol problem.

only happens if you try and run it from the image, i seriously doubt that happens if you use your original, that and it doesnt exactly display that message now does it..., at least not using the words you cite

[Morglum007]

It does. Neither original runs once installed if Daemon/Alcohol is installed (Original disc could not be found or authenticated. Please insert original disc)

I had to use CureROM 1.3b in order to launch ORIGINAL DVD (testing from a REAL drive)

From image, it launches sometimes using the "Lite" option in CureROM, or just mounting in daemon and launching with SecuROM Loader.

Good luck!

When i´m creating a new curerom profile, which Application exe do i have to choose? and what means application arguments?

[scaz]

Alcohol 120% is shit, if you don't burn cds or dvds don't have it installed. Only install Daemon-Tools 403.

Now, Curerom worked for me, once (tried both 1.22 and 1.30b). At this point I'm using Securom loader, yes, the game is protected with SECUROM NOT SAFEDISC.

So, for the people where Curerom or pr0t.st0p doesn't work. Try Securom-Loader

Make sure you have no shiz- installed cause that can cause trouble too. (like older versions of alcohol, or daemontools.

[Sabtoe]

Forget my silly question.. it WORKED!

GERMAN DVD Version

I made an image with alcohol, using DPM, Precision High.

Using Curerom, activated Anti-Blacklist Option, no other settings (no mounting, emulation settings activated here!)

Using DT4, mounting Image, Emulation RMPS.


Thats all, worked fine for me!

Well, he's German (Sascha ?), and as German games produce German error messages, it's hard to guess the exact english words.
And i assume, even with inserting the original, the game will say, emulation software found. It will look for DT and Alc and whatever in general, not if the original is inserted or not.
I had the same problem with Spellforce, before I found out that AntiBlaxx would have fixed the prob, I had to create a new WinXP user account...

There is a mini-image floating around!

Just tried it and it works much better than the DVD image. Works 100% of the time now.

The filesize is about 100mb, so I doubt gamecopyworld would host it.

[DRAGoN.X]

Used A-ray to scan it and it's Securom.

Must be a newer version that Srstop can't get past, and neither can SD4 Stoper.

Hi. I bought EAW on Friday and have since lost the disks. Luckily I make a habit of storing Images of the disks on my HDD. Unfortunately I cannot get the game to work now without the original CDs.

I'm not very good at this, so can someone tell me exactly how I can get the game working again please?

In step by step, easy to understand stages please?

Thanks

I can confirm that the mini image does indeed work. It takes like a minute for the game to start, but it works. Full image takes a few seconds, but it doesn't work.

Going through all that trouble, i asked myself if it's not easier to just put the CD in and play lol.

Could someone please give me a download link (pm)? Please, that would help me!
Thanks, 007
