So I'm getting pissed about FEAR and SecuROM denying me playing the game.

[CyberPitz]

OK, so when I try to run FEAR new update, and it says "Emutaion software detected". Well I close D-Tools, and everything is uninstalled/deleted...but it still harps at me. I CANT play FEAR. This is retarded. I pay for a game, and I can't play it. There is nothing about D-Tools in the registery either....

what is wrong?

 

[Adabiviak]

Do you just turn off the emulation options, or do you dismount the drives?

 

[Asus]

Do you think it checks each time you try to launch FEAR or just because you once had D-tools then it won't let you at all?

 

[CyberPitz]

Well, my guess is it's remembered it in regestry or something. It tells me to disable them to get it to work, but I'm using the original CD, and there is NOTHING in the taskmanager that has an emulator to it. It's just retarded that I'm ****ed over and have to reinstall a game that I payed fkn $50 for. What a waste of my damned night.

Just use a fixed exe. You won't need a disc in the drive to launch the game anymore.

 

[Adabiviak]

Nah, man - I have some games that check for that. I just dismount the drives and it's okay. You shouldn't have to restart. You have to actually make the drive letter disappear, but the program can still be running, just not doing anything.

Really? I have all my games fixed; haven't had any problems. The only ones I haven't had to fix are ones that didn't require a CD/DVD check in the first place - Phantasy Star Universe, Xpand Rally, and Doom 3, after their update, as well as the Source games of course.

I find that I might not even play a game if I have to go through the laborious task of putting a disc in my drive. I'm serious. Sometimes I want to listen to a CD (at a low volume) while I'm playing a game too.

oop - I was replying to CyberPitz. I use 'fixed' game executables in the same manner as you for those games that force a CD check. The others are mounted virtually with Daemon tools. Scrapland, for example, I haven't bothered to 'fix' yet, so when I put that CD in, I have to tell Daemon tools to drop the virtual drives it creates so the CD will pass it's verification check.

There are various tools to hide virtual drives, look for them.
