Gothic 2 new Patch; Daemon donґt work anymore

[Priest]

Hi!
Since the new Beta-patch for Gothic 2 , Daemon-tool mounted images dosenґt work anymore..
Too bad! :cry:

[Copytrooper]

You are the second one reporting it - will be fixed ASAP ...
but as christmas is right around the corner give us a little more time :wink: :roll:

@ swenske
that the savegame doesenґt work anymore is not a error from Daemon, it is the patch..

Burn your image to a CD with Alcohol120% and RMPS-Option enabled and the 1.29 Patch will work just fine (as fine as it's supposed to work fine, since it's buggy as well :x );
INSERT INTO `portal_posts_text` VALUES
when you start with the CD and have Alc120% emulate your DPM-Data.

Besides you save a 650 MB of disk space

yeah... already thought about writing it to a disk. Can somebody check out, if its working with Blindwrite, too?

Both ALC120 and Daemontools are blacklisted again with the new Securom introduced in Gothic 2 Patch 1.29

Has v1.29 blacklisted Alcohol 120% 1.3.6.1123?! I think Alcohol has been released after the patch...
And you should be able to burn it to a disk with Alcohol, much more safely (speaking of long-term availability) than with Blindwrite.
See here to get more information about burning; last paragraph of the first posting.

ok.... I tried with Blindwrite with Gothic2 V. 1.29, and it works.

The MDS-File was made with latest Alcohol, because the Blindwrite bundled Tool is buggy. Then I converted it to BWA and wrote it on a CD-RW (I dont wanna waste a CD-R ... and the copy is working.

The MDS-File was read with Sony CRX-100E at 8x Speed.
The image was written with Toshiba SDR-1202 to Memorex CD-RW.

Versions:

Alcohol 1.3.6 (Build 1223)
BlindWrite 4.2.7.39


1.29 HAS blacklisted both Alcohol and Daemon-Tools (latest versions)

'course i meant alcohol 120% v1.3.6.1223.

thanks for the info...

Just wanted to mention the behavior:

With simple copying of the disk (without DPM);
INSERT INTO `portal_posts_text` VALUES
the disk is detected immediately after starting Gothic 2.
To be more precise, the mousecursor changes to a CD and then back to normal. The game wont run at all, and theres no warning.

With use of DPM and Alc120 or Daemon-Tools, the game runs the test in the beginning like above, but this time, it is running.
The first in-game videos appear, then the menu of the game. Somehow, about 30-40 seconds after starting the game (the intro videos, menu, and at least some game loading are included within this time);
INSERT INTO `portal_posts_text` VALUES
the game quits and drops back to desktop. (like quitting the task)

That is really strange.
Cuz the 1.29 works for me just fine with my RMPS-EMU CD.

Maybe JoWood released a new 1.29 Patch secretly which has Alcohol blacklisted now.

Any other ideas ??
