Very strange.I haven't tested about the prices.Will check this later.About the image very strange because it works for me.You can try to make one yourself by making full image from your dvd with alcohol in mds/mdf format and then use the DKTigra's Maxi Image builder as i did.You can find the maxi image builder in cdfreaks forums ( club.cdfreaks.com )

ok let me be more precsice. Just for follow up, gonna try to make my own image too. When loading your maxi/mini image I get this error saying "Autorun: Ascaron.scripting.dll is not a valid windows disk image. check your etc.. This however does not affect if I can start the game or not, which I can. It's just when loading a game all prices of equipment (which were the only prices haywire to begin with) are at 0 and greyed out. And the nav screen is shaking.. thats the only problems I have been getting with it, tried to reextract it to see if it was a bad extract. Gonna try to redownload it as well.. Could be this is related to the game not working as intended on my comp from the get go.

Hmm very strange.About this error this is normal because the files are not actually there but this for prices you are right.Maybe the maxi image is not good idea.Why don't you try with full image made from your original dvd?I will also make this test and will post the result.

For me personally there is no problem with shaking nav screen but i just started the game and have passed only the first training mission.When i go to buy weapons i can buy only rockets.For the other types it gives me unable to sell this item message but i don't know if this is normal or not.I have only 2066 money for now.As for the maxi image for me there is no differance between using maxi image or full image.

For a test, try the following... (First, back up ALL your save games!!! ) Mount the image, launch the game, and get into a situation where something is weird (high prices, cannot buy, cannot sell etc.). Save the game, exit the game, unmount the image, insert the original CD/DVD, launch the game, reload the game and see if you can see a difference.

If you can - things get back to normal -, then this really must be the copy protection. If you see no difference then it's either a bug in the game (or an intentional decision from the developers?!) OR, perhaps, the fact that you once used an image is already stored in the saved game ("eternal punishment" ).

I am only at the begining of the game and i don't know very well the game itself so i am not sure what should be normal and what not so i hope someone more experianced with this game make this test with original and with full image and with maxi image also if he wants and tell us if the things are working ok with image or not.

Actually Joe this has something to do with copy protection of some kind (the price issue). if you read the link I provided you can see a guy talking about the problem occuring on his one dvd-rom and does not when changing to his cd-r rom. me on the other hand only have one disk drive at the moment one of the first sony dvd burners that could burn both +/- dvds.. yea I know it's a tad old and the price of it then is a whole lot more than what you could get for a tenth today. Anyways the price problem occurs with both full image and dvd, while the other problem (shaky nav screen and zeroed out prices) only occur with the maxi image. The shaky screen has also been reported with the use of an original dvd. Maybe this has something to do with certain cds acting differently to certain systems.. which would be weird, but that could explain the shaky nav screen I get from Netpuns maxi image and him not getting it.
