i GOT it to work.

2 questions

Why wont the game work without protstop

and I cant download the patch required to play online for some reason, it says file not found.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Pr0t.St0p hides the virtual CD/DVD drives from the copy protection; without it, the copy protection will find out that the game is being played from a copy, not an original.

What patch can't you download? Exact URL, please.

[THE GOOD GUY]

Never mind, I found on the internet and installed it that way.

How does the copy protection determine Im playing the game from a copy?

Yes, but this is only important for Securom (i think since Version 7.11), not for Safedisc (yet). More important is the fact, that optical IDE drives get hidden. If Safedisc finds a optical IDE drive it refuses to run in Daemon Tools' virtual SCSI drive.

@THE GOOD GUY
HERE a good summary.

Hmmm, i just reformatted my comp, i backed up the image and now after ive reinstalled everything it wont work, i only get the splash screeen again. What happend?

The image is created with alch and it worked before.

I used prot stop
mounted image

and started game what did i do wrong?


---NEVER MIND--- I restarted and it works again for some reason.

Oh lordy.


There is some websites out there that give out specifics on how copy protections work and how its technically impossible sometimes to copy a disc.


But please do search on the net before asking 20 questions at a time. hehehe

[THE GOOD GUY]

Thank you for being so kind a helpful.... lol

[THE GOOD GUY]

Can i put the image on a data disc and mount the image form the disc into daemon tools and play it that way? or does it only work if the image is on the hd?

[TippeX]

yup u can burn the image on the disk as a data file, then mount, it'll (most likely) be considerably slower however
