SimCity: Societies Update #2

[pluckcitizen]

So far there isn't a no-cd patch out for this version. I tried the mini image on DT 4.11 with and without YASU, but it failed to work. Anyone else having this problem?

[Beav]

yes, doesn't work for me either, and 4.06 won't read the mini image... is there any way to force 4.06 to mount an image it doesn't understand?

Poseden Maxi Image was compressed with DT Pro Image converter and therefore can't be used with v4.06.
I've redone Posedens image with Alcohol 120% and patched MDS file.
Now it can be used with DT 4.06.

I believe the security was updated with the patch, so poseden's and zulu's images do not work with 1.2

It updates to same SecuROM version as FIFA Manager 08 Update #2 - which works with v4.06+YASU for some.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention Zulu, I tired it with 4.06 and it worked!

[Beav]

I'm prompted with (attached image) the following error. Anyone get the same?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Nothing can be read on that picture; don't attach it, upload it to some site.

[Maasu]

Any known progress with getting around the new securom protection? Or do I have to install the older Daemon Tools 4.06, as it won't work with the newest (4.11), even with YASU.

STA,

I sent u the error pic via email under the same subeject as my title.

Here what it says:

Game Exception

Unhandled exception: Unable to find a valid device
Type: class TMill::Common::Exception
File:C"\sc5enginework\source\engine\dxdevice.cpp
Function: TMill::Engine::GetBestDeviceId
Line:599

Thanks and an Happy new year

@abex
I assume your graphic card isn't supported.
Which model do you have ?

No way with that, sorry.

Always when you experience a problem using a mini/maxi image or crack you try your original disc and original game EXE, if the problem is still there then it's a game bug and needs reporting to the developer.
