Hi all,
I have a problem running an image of The Suffering.
Before posting I of course checked the similarly named thread below, but my case appears to be a bit different.
I am not using a backed up CD, but rather a CD image on my hard disk. I created the image using Alcohol 52% (evaluation version, still deciding whether to buy it, depending on the results I'm going to get).
I checked the original disc with A-Ray Scanner, and it detected StarForce 3.3.37.02. I read in the help it's quite similar to SecuROM, and in fact when I created the image using Alcohol's StarForce option it prompted me about DPM protection. I chose 1x (as from Alcohol's support forums) for DPM measuring in order to get the best accuracy.
Then I tried mounting the image with both Alcohol and DT - one at a time - with DPM emulation enabled, but it simply doesn't work. The game launcher immediately asks about the original disc, while with the original inserted there is an advancing progress bar.
I think this isn't a case of blacklisting: if I insert the original disc, even with virtual CDs mounted on other letters, the game starts fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
In the meantime, I'll try DT 3.46, I have read in other posts this may solve some issues.
