STALKER Clear Sky problem

[professorx]

I'm unable to make a backup of this one.
Protection ID says SolidShield based on the installation folder, so I tried the Tages profile - no luck
I'm using DT Pro Basic 4.12.0222, SPTD v1.56

Any one got this to work??

You have to wait for an updated DT Pro version - we are aware of that issue and working on it.

[professorx]

thanks Blazkowicz for that v.quick reply!

I don't know if it's related this issue really but I tried to make an image using the Sarforce profile but it failed with the error message:
"DPM associated call failed"

Is this normal when using the wrong profile??

(I had previously ran the sf removal tool just in case)

I have used the SF profile successfully in the past on a dvd game using the same hardware.

You are using an outdated version, that's why you should get the call failed.

Should the current DT Pro Standard/Advanced (v4.30.0302) work then?

[Blazkowicz]

Not yet, it was only a comment regarding updating.
But next DT Pro should work

So it's a blacklist by Tages? If it is, it means their site contains lies:

Nevertheless, we consider emulators to be a real threat and have all the necessary flexibility to be able to react immediately, with much more powerful solutions than blacklists - which are a very limited answer to emulation.

I can't give you any information so far as i don't have any yet - but it shouldn't be a blacklist.

[evlncrn8]

well, there was some warez release a while ago that showed that tages did indeed have blacklists, i can't remember exactly which one though, so their site isn't exactly too 'truthful'

[Blazkowicz]

I think you meant that Tetris rlzes

Please wait for updated version, we test the new build currently with other tages protected titles. So far this game is working.

It works in 0304.
Even with the latest patch it still works for me now.

[Blazkowicz]

You have to recreate your image with 304

That's true, I should have mentioned it
