Title: Help me?
Post by: heltar on June 04, 2007, 09:14:30 PM

I'm trying to run this shadows of the empire game, it worked before. I downloaded a torrent of it, which included a .sub, .img, and a .ccd. I used Daemontools to mount the .ccd, and run it. it turns on, and the pregame dialog box pops up. i click "start game", it goes to full screen, shows the loading text scroll, and then dies.

I had installed it before, and played it before, I only experienced minor problems (it would freeze when minimized) and freeze if something popped up under it.

Anybody have any clue what's going on? I've tried compatibility options, too, I don't think that's it. I also have it set to my monitor size.

The odd thing is that it worked before.
I tried burning the .img to a disc, but it's 709 MB and CDs are only 700....for some reason Nero won't burn an img/iso to a DVD, so I'm fucked unless someone can help me out here.

Alcohol 120 does all the same things, and isn't that buggy.

thanks, I'll look in to it.

Daemon Tools isn't buggy, though, shadows of the empire is :(

Well, I haven't tried Daemon Tools, but I used Alcohol 120. It's great when you crack it.
