@Grumpy
Well uhm... ok... how bout "I didnt do it, the dog did!" *sighs*

@Luci
It does still live.... but I thought about slicing him up to get my Original VTM CD back.... oh and dont worry, I will sew him together afterwards

At least if I wont figure out if the image mounting is slowing the PC...

hi i have done everything what you's are saying .
mounted the gcw file.

when i go start the game i get a black screen when i get a message saying
microsoft c++ virtual runtime error.
some one help

Run a deep scan for virus, ad-spy wares and other nasty things.

If you can't find anything, download latest updatest from microsft at www.windowsupdate.com.

If you already done that, download update for Microsoft Runtimes File for C++ or Visual Basic.

If you have the latest and/or can't find the needed files PLEASE contact Microsoft for futher instructions!

Note:
It's dose requer Microsoft DirectX 9.0C witch can be found on the CD!

Hi, can anyone help me about that: i have the mini image from CGW and i use Daemon Tools. When i try to run the game having this mini image mounted in ,the game asks me to close all Virtual CD/DVD software. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanx...

Well I personally don't keep my cd drive / dvd drive / whatever I have available plugged to my computer if at all possible, since my mainboard is kinda old-ish and the less drives plugged, the longer it works

I did not see any slowdowns in my friend's comp though, but I think I know what you're talking about, I have the same problems with halflife2 (same engine) when I set the graphics to maximum..

Oh and btw halflife2 takes around a weekend if you have a lot of time (apparently I did )

PS:
@Grumpy I just noticed I kinda stole your name >< I think I'll make a new one now

ok, i've got a really annoying problem where bloodlines just exits to desktop, any ideas? can't find the patch, so its really killing because i really wanna find out what happens next. for details on where it exits to the desktop read below:

spoiler:


it happens after you confront the vampire hunter bach, kill him, talk to the archaeologist, and then a dying bach sets off some remote detonation. you have 1min to get to the boat. i get in the boat with the archaeloghist and the game just exits..... anyone got this prob??

help please !!! :?

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.

Thanks for telling
I am facing the same problem too, could you tell me which are the main cause for this 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...

Hi 2 all

I´m playing with the 18,5 CD Image

I´m in a large Cave and have killed a vampire Hunter

I ran to a small boat and after loading my game crashed I´m back on my windows screen.

Can anyone help me??

[reddragon105]

does it do the same thing with your original copy?
if so, reinstall the game (be sure to backup saved games) and try again
if the problem persists, try getting to the same point again from a previous saved game if you have one
if it still persists, its a problem somewhere else on your PC, either software (could always try reinstalling windows) or hardware.
