Act of War: High Treason mini image needed

I share your pain - have the Oz retail version and have been in a forum orientated disagreement with Atari since getting the game last week.
I would be very interested if a Euro version mini image would be available to see if v1.1 would then work. Although I understand the Oz/Asian version is Securom and Europe is Tages - so not sure if it works, or if the copy protection update blocks all?
Supposedly the retail version we have is being shipped back to Atari so they can work on a fix................perhaps by next weekend using our bought disc will no longer be problematic
Good luck.

I was starting to feel like I was all alone BStard. I've been very vocal under the name Arutnev275885 on Atari's official boards about this - http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums...play.php?f=433 - but they are really taking their time.

I've done searches on cracking, I've descrambled the exe, installed numerous programs that are designed to counter this securom v7 copy protection. Nothing works. If it doesn't just pop up the "wrong cd" message, another shows up with something like "the security module could not be loaded".

I've also sent tech support emails to Atari and Atari Australia highlighting the problem. Not being able to install that patch rules out multiplayer and the mod tools, which leaves nothing of interest left to me.

It's bad enough as it is that we have to wait two months on top of everyone else and pay 50% more just to get our games, but this is just insulting. In a way it's my fault though, I should have just stopped buying Atari games long ago... only, you can't help but think "maybe it'll be different this time".

I am 2bollox from Atari Censored forums you might have already guessed that.
Noticed that they've closed our thread at Atari - here's hoping it gets fixed before 'our' weekend starts.
Hope you play it a bit on Anzac Day, and I'm really concerned about Atari releasing Neverwinter Nights 2 for the reason of being a very bad support company and we won't mention release dates.

Sorry for taking over this thread.
Take care Arutnev275885

I was hoping they'd have a fix out by the end of the day (their time), but it's a bit rude to just close that thread and not let us know what's going on. Being that today's a public holiday for us, it would have been real nice to have woken up, downloaded the fix, then spent the day playing.

The least he could do would be to get us a version without the copy protection if we sent him our legit cd keys. They messed up pretty big with this one, and I reckon if they gave half a damn about their customers they should be willing to do whatever it takes to fix the problem.

If there's still no fix out by next weekend, I'll be pissed, because I go back to Tafe next week (after the Easter break), and I'll have no time to play by then.

I guess the conclusion is: don't rush into the shop to buy a game that was released N hours/days ago (where N is a small number). Rather, wait for a few weeks, to have the copy protection-related and other fuckups fixed by an official patch...

Here in Australia Joe, we're always waiting. We tend to wait longer than everyone else to get our hands on the same game. High Treason was delayed a good 3 weeks over here. We got it at least half a month after it came out in Europe, if not longer.

That's what makes it so frustrating, our game comes out that much later and yet it's still broken, and they're like "oh yeah, sorry, we've ordered one and are waiting for it to arrive". They certainly didn't think about testing it before it's release, and they wouldn't have even known had we not told them.

We tend to only get the BIG release games at the same time as the rest of the world, like Halflife 2 and Doom 3.
Obviously High Treason is not classed as one of those big games!
