What's the problem with his post anyway? He just downloaded the small iso from gcw and tried to open the game without his cd from what I understand. That's what everyone here did anyway. And that's not in violation of the rules.

It's not like a 1 post guy would care if you ban him anyway


And here's my contribution..
I myself don't have the game, but I helped a friend use the image from gcw. The 1.8MB file doesn't seem to work, but the 20MB file worked fine in Alcohol120%. We had to adjust a few settings though, and I'm not sure which ones they were, we just got lucky and didn't touch the settings after it worked .

Grumpy55 do you mount the image (20 MB) file then start the game like normal or what

OK, now when you say this...
I was understanding the post, as he downloaded the complete game ISO.

@Ohrwurm: Sorry for that. I lift the ban instantly.

[Grumpy55]

Yep we mounted the 20mb file, then started the game normally.

I'll check the details when I get to my friend's house next time.

[QUOTE=Ohrwurm]Hello all !

I have a big problem :

I dl Iso- and start it with Deamon (Safedisc) Notice : I dont have clone cd..

--> Then my screen turns into blue collor with white letters :

"Found some problems...
.

***STOP : 0*000000008E ... (0*000005, ..... 0*00000000) ... "

you think your the only one aye? how bout this every person outside the us is suffering when playing bloodlines why? because they have the only uncensored version!!! thats right the head fallin off at the first intro - they get to see it. The ability to dismember anyone incl. cops with katana sword. they are doing it now.
hmm. the list goes on. Dont beleive me? fool yourself go on.
William Penn from activision confirmed these details.
the UK/FRENCH/GERMAN version is the one that most of us have. you can tell as these are the only lang. options that you get at install start.
look for the us version. youll all be very surprised.
but still depending on the us state you buy it from - as some are stricter than uk censors but if you order it from a state that lets through uncens. games as al ot do in US. im sure youll be smiling.

peace and sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Hi all

I just got a simple question. I mounted the .mdf image with Alcohol 120% (the mini images from gcw dont work) and the game works... BUT it is really slow.. map changes need minutes and even ingame every move loads for some seconds... so its a really bad lag. Is this beacause my PC sucks or is this normal when you mount images? Would the game be faster with the original CD in the drive?

Thanks all

@Vasquez
Why dont you try it with the original, that way you will know for yourself, I cant give you a definate answer on it as I personally dont like mounting images! If there are no NoCD cracks available I just use the original disc until the NoCD becomes available.

[Luci]

i can't understand most of you who say can't change cd's all the time.if i play a game i leave the cd in the drive...i don't do anything else than play all day so...

[Grumpy]

Yes i agree with you Luci, if i am playing a game and there isnt a NoCD crack available, I too just leave the disc in the drive! Like Halflife2 disc just stayed in there for 3 full days, my drive only got a rest thanks to Hijack.

[vasquez]

well, the original CD got eaten by my dog together with my homework *cough*
So I dont have it anymore and would just like to know if the image mounting is responsible for the lag

Thanks

[Luci]

oh i thought you finished the game in 3 days!i haven't got neither halflife2 nor vampires

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone's work on getting the fairly-new no-cd to work. Took me a while, but with this boards help, I managed to get past that problem.

HOWEVER, no I run into this error:

"The application or DLL c:\windows\system32\binkw32.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

I have DirX 9.0c installed, and using the small ISO with Alcohol 120.

Ive checked this board thoroughly, and I have not seen a duplicate question like this asked.

In advance, thank you for your time.

[Sylibus]

I get the same thing ph00k.... guess we just have to suck it up. I came up with my own conclusion though, it's a ati h8ter.

[Grumpy]

@Sylibus
This will fix your problem.

[gnuudel]

hm, i cannot understand your problems with this protection...
i only install from my originals, make an image of the play-cd with alcohol, mount the image and play the game...this works fine with every safedisc 2/3 protected game...i´ve never needed a crack or something else...
