i thought mine was going to do the same, but after 30 seconds or so it kicked in?

nup..nothing happens at all! I've even went as far as taking one of the two cd-drives out.
I'm running win98 SE, geforce card, DX8.0a and still the game refuses to ####t!!! argh!!

Try to press alt+tap one time, then press alt+tap to go back to the game. Worked for me..

I have exactly the same problem! I've been waitin' for months and finally got the game and after installing I too get the Op Flash splash screen then then drive dies. I tried it on both my DVD and Burner and nothing happens! I too have W98SE, GeForce, Direct X 8.0a!

For a NoCD-Patch look here:
www.germanflag.6x.to

No idea, whether FADE (if it exist at all) "likes" this exe.

i made a back up that works so far an hour into playing without experiencing any problems that this FADE protection is suppose to cause.
copy using clone and the settings for safedisc 2 and read and burn at x2 speed .
i sent the patch that i found to WWW.MEGAGAMES.COM and it works absolutely no problems whatsoever.

acutally, it seems tons of others are having this problem getting their game to ####t! Apparently its got to do with the copy protection on the cd..some cd-roms(i would say bloody majority) dun read it too well...but then...I have a plextor 12/10/32A which is suppose to be able to read all sorts of crap with no hassle!! anyway...go have a read at the Flashpoint forum! i just pissed i brought this game and having the copy protection crap spit right back at my face!!! oh well...gonna return it back to the shops!

I have copy the original with clonecd version 3.0.2.3 , with no-cd from megagames ( windows ME ) , works very well , FADE protection , i have made 4 missions , it´s the same ! Try copying with clone , but plextor , sony , HP , have take the raw sao for their CDRW´s , so they aren´t good to use with clone ( safedisk 2 ) , my CDRW is a Ricoh MP 7083A , copy´s everything so far with clone .

you mention settings for safedisk2, is that fast error skip? i had no boxes ticked and my copy seems to work fine(philips burner used)

ATIRADOR · #13 28-06-2001, 20:08

The new version of clonecd doesn´t need to ##### box because it will do this automatic , just copy the original and wait to finish , and play .

YEAH! I solved my OF problem! even though the website technical FAQ states that Daemon tools will conflict with the game...Playbackup drivers will do it also!!! I never had Daemon tools on my pc but i did install playbackup a while back...removed it...re####ted and problem solved!!!

not sure · #15 01-07-2001, 23:32

playbackup 2.1 is blacklisted in safedisc version 2, release 2, i guess that is how you would say it.

confirmed with this protection for the us is ####topia, gangsters2, and dune.

i hope there is a playbackup update to put the losers at macrovision at bay.

macrovision sux donkey balls.....

cheers and good luck,
