The 1.09 patch I just downloaded wasn't protected?

Downloaded from Mirror #5, extracted the files and the EU2.EXE is NOT protected at all! Maybe a CD check?

Looks like they changed Securom for a CD Check, not sure as I don't own the game but looking in w32dasm it definitely has a call to a message:

EU CD not found. Please insert CD in drive. or EU2 CD not found

Why not try and make a mini-image and see if it works mounted?

Does the 1.09 patch update anything important? If not, just don't use it.

Did the patch get applied to the correct directory where the game is installed? Does it find the game directory or do you have to browse to it?

It should overwrite the protected EXE with an unprotected one, if it's saying 'Wrong disc inserted' then it's obviously still running the protected EU2.EXE and not the unprotected one! Just make sure that when the game is patched the EU2.EXE is 2.25 MB (2,363,392 bytes) as that's the size of unprotected EXE.

If what you say is true then there should be no problem to make a NOCD for this one....any Securom game under version v7 can be cracked pretty easy (unless they use really nasty stuff)

No Securom on the patch at all ByteMare so it should be a doddle to make a NoCD if needed
