In terms of gamming more games once that could get install andt he installer didn't those stupid problems installing for the need on an admin account when really was an admin account for me generally worked well. I didn't see so many compatibity problems with games like for example from 98 ot XP before the service packs. Of course there was some on my collection that didn' wokedon vista but other worked better than xp did for me. But in other terms the OS piece of scrap. Lots of BSOsds. Some games that didn't validate the original cd when I was really putting the original cd until I used no cd cracks when on Xp did it. Some other when try to validate the cd just did BSOD and restarted.until used no cd too One time some guy i know bring his computer to fix some things. He accidentally put in the startup some utilty from windows for people with disabilites he course didn't need and slowndowd the computer . The easy on XP was just renamming file (coz i couldn t find in msconfig.exe and services in administrative tool to quit from starttup) but this Vista thing has now some thing called ownership in of it's system files that didn't let me rename the nasty program even you are the admin of the system. I had to boot in safe mode use some ridiculus command in the dos mode just to the the ownwership of that file and rename it. Man when i saw that I felt like M$ though were the owner of our own machines: Man I just dumped that crap and moved to Linux. I can't play many play games as can do Windows of course. But lots more stable no BSODs no restarts installing any stupid program coz registry crap. The perfomance is better when watching videosl/listen music or opening a lot of programs like that crap of windows media player . I don't need to downlad a bunch of codecs just to get flvs video work or other formats. I can modify a bunch of things internally that bunch M$ idiots don't let coz it's closed source and customize more what I want.I guess one of downfalls of Vista was that slow development in all: Took ages get released (more than 5 years). IE7 took too to much, started other web standards in other browsers (like Firefox or Opera) that made look iE as thing of the past. Direct X10 it's time you can't yet lots games programmed for it. Those guys neeed to not the delay the service pack1 more If they don't want more people downgrade from Vista to XP coz I know several that have done that. i mean it seems going to be released on April. if not maybe they will give themselves with foot again if there is another delay. And even with the Service pack sure will a lot to fix. I read on some news that the new beta SP made things fast but made slow others. But well can't be atken as still a final result since it's still not finished

No need to apologise acal, I was having a laugh with you

[TippeX]

heh this is reminissent of the old cracks that only worked on xp due to that SetLastError or something import... any cracker worth his/her salt should test their cracks... they should also check new versions of the protection and see what might be possibly different... of course there are 'race conditions' ...

As an update, the mini-image YASU combo was suggested to work with DT 4.06. I couldn't get it to work.

SSC uses Securom 7.35.0008, and that is rumored to not be blacklisted by DT 4.06. I was told it does work with a full image, however, and so I will believe that.

I didn't test it because I have the original disk, and I didn't want to waste drive space with a full image.

But for those who have no choice, you might give 4.06 a try if you have it available.

Cheers.

download this "mini image" -> http://www.sendspace.com/file/4s0wb0
(( source -> http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=83068 ))

1- Apply the 3 patch of SCS
2- no need to replace the .exe (leave the original)
3- mount "mini image" (1.66Go) with dt 4.06, and use YASU
4- launch the game.

works fine on wxpsp2

Thank you I can confirm this does work with Patch 3 although pretty redundant now that the vitality crack has been updated.

[FM-Staalker]

Thanks to Vitality for the fix!

[TippeX]

apparently it doesnt work for everyone...

[Hitman-tlb]

Well, for all u guys, Vitality has released fix for this now, all systems should be AOK now

[BarryB]

Can we close this thread now then

[TippeX]

hope so, or we can move it to the 'we have no life' thread ;p (i 100% hate the sims, my views are not reflective of the forums or the other mods.. they're purely personal... so sorry to any of the women / kids / sims players offended by my comment... which is 100% true ;p)

[Joe Forster/STA]

Agreed, killing each other in a multi-player FPS or winning in a racing simulator results in a much higher moral and mental satisfaction than replaying life in a simulator...

[Strathe]

The Vitality fix released on the 14th still doesn't work on XP SP2, in my case at least.

Just some feedback, not complaining, heh.

With the new updated version of the 1.3 crack, the game does start in XP-SP2 but then the computer locks/freezes/crashes every 10-15 minutes or so.
Behaviour wich is not justified by anything else , so I suspect it's still something wacky with the crack. On Vista it works flawlessly, as far as I can tell, so it has to be something with the XP compatibility again.
