Well, he's German (Sascha ?), and as German games produce German error messages, it's hard to guess the exact english words.
And i assume, even with inserting the original, the game will say, emulation software found. It will look for DT and Alc and whatever in general, not if the original is inserted or not.
I had the same problem with Spellforce, before I found out that AntiBlaxx would have fixed the prob, I had to create a new WinXP user account...

There is a mini-image floating around!

Just tried it and it works much better than the DVD image. Works 100% of the time now.

The filesize is about 100mb, so I doubt gamecopyworld would host it.

Used A-ray to scan it and it's Securom.

Must be a newer version that Srstop can't get past, and neither can SD4 Stoper.

Hi. I bought EAW on Friday and have since lost the disks. Luckily I make a habit of storing Images of the disks on my HDD. Unfortunately I cannot get the game to work now without the original CDs.

I'm not very good at this, so can someone tell me exactly how I can get the game working again please?

In step by step, easy to understand stages please?

Thanks

How do you loose the discs in two days?
First off, I would contact whoever made the game (lucasarts?) and ask them to send you a new copy proabably with a fee.
Second, I guess you'll have to wait for GCW to host a no-cd or mini-image.

I can confirm that the mini image does indeed work. It takes like a minute for the game to start, but it works. Full image takes a few seconds, but it doesn't work.

Going through all that trouble, i asked myself if it's not easier to just put the CD in and play lol.

This is how, and it's only in three EASY steps:

Step 1. Read Forum Rules
Step 2. Buy Game
Step 3. Enjoy ban

[xsaintress]

i didnt read the rules
wont happen again

Daemon Tools 4.03 + Securom Loader (from Daemon Tools 3rd party addons) After everything else I tried, this worked. FYI, the only anti-blacklist program besides the loader I have installed = Curerom 1.31b (which does not work for myself) So.. if you got other loaders etc, I suggest gettin rid of 'em and their settings.

G'luck!

*Edit* Well, I had closed the game to post this. Tried to start it right back up and got the 'failed to authenticate' message. So, I remembered that when I had started Securom Loader originally, I didn't have the image mounted yet. I got the "insert sweaw cd" message -then mounted, and hit retry. The first time, the game started instantly. This time it gave me error again. So I repeated the process of:

1. Start AntiSecuROM.exe, choose sweaw.exe.
2. After "Enter CD" prompt appears, Start Daemon Tools 4.03 & mount given image. Exit Daemon Tools.
3. Click Retry in the "Enter CD" box.

Hopefully.. this'll help some of you.
