So only thing you can do is wait for new DTpro or Lite to be released or wait for a crack.

I didnt post any crack numbnut.

One: there are no cracks for X3: Terran Conflict. So I don't know if he can try a crack....
Two: any fan of the Egosoft games is aware of their policy - Egosoft always removes through a patch the protection from their released games. Sure it takes time, but as Egosoft mentioned, the protection is there just to keep the 0day piracy at bay and to protect the initial sales. After an year or two (depends on vary things), the protection is removed by a patch released by Egosoft. The 2.1 patch was made to mainly add some nice mods done by the gaming community (Egosoft always supported their mod community and always introduced some of the best mods through packs and patches) and to tweak further the game. As there were many complaints with the 1.5 game, many of the fans of the game considering that the patch destroyed any chance for a faster paced game, patches 2.0 and 2.1 were cranked out, both patches being based on the community feedback. Also the US version got out relatively recently (end of April and that version was already updated at 2.0). So updating the protection to protect their sales in US makes perfect sense. I expect that at the end of this year or in first half of 2010 to see Egosoft removing the protection. If you read the official game forums, you will see the statements of Egosoft staff mentioning the protection removal later on in quite a few statements.

The official announcements from Egosoft about the copy protection:

Well could you explain what did you do? Do you use YASU correctly, did you copy it in DaemonTools folder and started it?

[djsolidsnake86]

So ya, doesn't work for me either. Tried it with DT Lite 4.304 and YASU 1.6... tried also with DT Pro 4.304... (sooooo, is YASU 1.6 the newest version? Couldn't find a newer one...)
I understand Egosoft's policy with stopping piracy at the start but... come on, all that could be pirated has already been pirated :P

Here's the YASU support forum: http://forum.daemon-tools.cc/f40/ But hasn't YASU been integrated into Daemon Tools lately?!

[siegdubhy]

Actually my mistake, the DT Pro version I used was 4.305, and from what I'm reading about YASU if it isn't integrated into DT yet then it might be incompatible with the newest DT version yet... and since stuff changed with DT I can't use older versions -_-

[fluffy981]

Ok here is what i got and it works: YASU v1.6.9040 + DAEMONT Tools Lite v 4.30.3.0 + Windows xp proffesional service pack 2

Try with this versions and tell me does it work pls.

[siegdubhy]

Nope :/ Didn't work either... BUT, the problem might be the game image I've made... I have it in MDS MDF... I could try converting it to ISO or something... What image are you using?

[smunisto]

Hey, I've been reading the topic for a while and I registered to give you some tips on how to run the game.
So - the proposition for YASU + DT was great. It works for me aswell, but it took me some time to figure out the order in which you need to do the things.
So here's what works for me:

1.Software versions: YASU v1.6.9040 + DAEMONT Tools Lite v 4.30.3.0
2.Mount your original image into Daemon(mine is *.mds). The mini images do not work.
3.Now run YASU. It's important to run it AFTER you've mounted the image.
4.Click the "Cloak" button.
5.Start X3:TC.

[siegdubhy]

Ya, tried it this way... still no luck :/ I'm guessing I don't have to enable any options (like SecuRom and stuff) in Daemon Tools?

Is YASU even necessary. It isn't for tages stuff on mine... just works.
