Gears of War

[Synide]

Hey, Im having trouble starting up Gears of War ever since the patch has been released. Replacing the 'startup.exe' with the crack thats available no longer seem to work, does anyone here know of another way to start it up without the disc?

Mounting the iso doesnt work even with all emulation settings on such as securom and safedisc (even with YASU), I beleive gears of war has a new version of safedisc.
Starting up the patched game with the old crack results in the game asking for the disc. Mounting the iso and using the original startup.exe results in an error asking to insert the original dvd disc. Mounting the game with the cracked startup.exe loads up the splash screen and game, but an error pops up telling you to double click startup.exe to play gears of war.

Ive been searching the net for a while to no avail, maybe its a matter of waiting for a newer nocd crack.

Does the game start up ok if you use your original disc ?

My dvd drive recently malfunctioned and Im still awaiting my new drive, it was a god send that there was a crack for the original version so I could continue playing, but since patching I can find no other workaround. I refered to the ISO because i always backup my games to a seperate drive, its something ive always done incase I lose my cd's. So yeah obviously I cant re-install the game so im stuck with the patched version.
