The Witcher - Problem with Mini-Image

[bonzay0]

hi all i will have witcher tomorrow and i'll try install game and patch and play
with the image and if i will succeed i'll tell you how to do it too (i'am using a daemon tools pro advanced like you sad to do with the ide stuff)
so i hope i'll help you guys

It isn't out yet in the US. I think I will wait a bit before I buy it. Nothing like being forced to use (and wear out) the disc.

A crack will come out soon. Hopefully before you finish the game.

How can i know if my windows xp is xp64?I go to My PC,right botton,properties and the only thing i can read is "Microsoft Xp profesional edition - 2002 version - Service Pack 2"
I think that the Daemon tools Pro Advanced method don´t works because of my operating system.
Sorry again for my english...

[tbaher]

No one has XP x64 unless they really wanted to have it. If you're not sure, you don't have it.

[sandeman2007]

Ok,if i don´t have it...Why i can´t run this damned game???What´s the problem?This method works for everyone unless me...I can´t believe it!!!!
I hate this gameeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

[tbaher]

You're saying the game doesn't run at all? Or just the mini image doesn't work?

The game doesn´t work and when i mount the mini-image always apears a message telling "empty cd"...I heard that only mounting the game on DT pro advanced its works but i can´t play because i mount the image and the only thing i have is a message telling me to insert the original dvd.
what can i do?I try to do all the things that i read in another forums and nothing works.
My only hope its that someone release a working crack (pleaseeeeeee)

I don´t understand what is wrong...

I am not shure but i think the mini isnt working very well i made an image from my original dvd and simply mounted that image. It takes some space but it deos the job :-p

Where did you get the game?

[sandeman2007]

A friend buy the game and make me a copy(In fact he paid the midle and i paid the another midle).

So, I was having some of the same issues some people here were (I think), though with a different image, and a sort of weird thing made it work for me - I had just installed DT pro, but still had the old non-pro version installed as well. After much annoyance, just for fun I tried uninstalling the old DT and hurrah, it worked. People having problems with this might want to try that.

Generally it is illegal to have 2 copies of the game running at the same time from the same license (1 purchase = 1 license) See the EULA for details.
This is why copy protection exists.

Try to see if the game runs with the original disk. Maybe the problem isn't related to the mini image. If it does run with the original disk, use the original disk.

are the EULA police going to kick in his door and vaporize his burnt cd?

[tbaher]

EULA stands for end user license agreement.

When you buy software, you don't actually buy the software. You are buying a copy and license to use it. Making a copy of software is illegal under current stupid copyright laws. To use a copyrighted work you must have a license (or a defence such as "fair use"). The EULA is that license. Violate it and your license is void. So yes, the copyright infringement police (international law .. stupid I know) will "kick the door down". In the meantime the forum police will ban him.

Yes copyright law is stupid but it is the law. Thank you for playing.
