Now listen
Grab the patch and apply it...
After that mount the FULL image i think you all have made by now using DT403 with all emulation options on.
Then use the AntiSecurerom and as exe file choose the sweaw.exe which is in the GAMEDATA folder.
Thats it...
Worked for me !
Enjoy !

Try Curerom 1.30b

Works for me. The first time the game says original disc could not be found or outenthicated. Try again and its starts after 30sec.

Gamejackal worked for me, tried DT and all the other processes, GJ allowed me to remove the image file and save some space.

Did you make a good image ?
Hmmm it works like a charm in my rig.

The mini image is too big for GCW (100mb). I will upload it to rapidshare later.

[Juansep]

I would really apreciate that ive been searching this image a lot of time, i would love if you could upload it there

[Templ]

Allright, you can download the mini image here: http://rapidshare.de/files/13757736/...IMAGE.rar.html

4) open antisecurom and choose the sweaw.exe file
5) play the game

the weird thing is that it doenst always work somethimes I have to try it a few times to kick in
and I can't start the game if I apply the new 1.2 patch even if I try it several times

ps: does anyone know where the game stores the savegames? thnx

This method worked for me. As opposed to the method I posted earlier. It worked twice I think, then didn't. Now I'm sure this method will fail me and the old one work again.. maybe after reboot.. I dunno wtf to say about all this trouble

P.S. Thanks for the image link.. it's dead (invalid download link) now tho. Someone should seed it and post the torrent here.

original disc could not be found or outhenticaded

tried several time with 3 different image types 1 made i alchool another made in win iso and another made in blindwrite
i started dowloading the image so tomorrow i will post what happened

[cptpooface]

I just mounted the image with DT and ran SecuRom using the sweaw in game data. That worked for me twice then I started getting the "original disc could not be found or authenticated" message. I didn't patch the game or anything, it worked earlier today but tonight it just stopped working. I searched the forums and this seemed to happen to a lot of people. Any ideas on why this happens? I don't think it could be the image because it wouldn't have worked at all if it was a bad image. I tried it ten times and figured if it was going to work it would work one of those times, but it didn't. Can the program somehow get "smarter" and figure out there is no disc? I guess I'm back to using the original disc until someone figures this out.

Thanks for image file, works good. the one i made didn't
I just did the following steps
Install game
Install patch 1.2
Install Daemon Tools 4.03
Unpack Sweat_mini_image to starwars empire at war\gamedata folder
Mount the image with Daemon tools and turn on all emulation selections
If game starts, close it
Install Curerom 1.31
Start Curerom, and input this:
Options, third party virtual, select Daemon tools and exe file
Application, select SWEAW file in gamedata folder. click next
Image mounting software, select I do not want to use any virtual. click next
make shortcut name {sweaw} and click next
save and finish
With image mounted via Daemon, run sweaw shortcut made from Curerom to play
started and closed the game 5 times, then played a few skirmishes and no probs
