So instead of just inserting the Original game disc, which you surely own, you prefer to click 15 times on an icon. Inserting the Original game disc, which you surely own, must be a real chore to you. When you bought the Original game, which I am sure you did, haven't you thought about the fact that inserting the disc is such a chore?

You see, if people felt like inserting the disc this thread would never have existed. Some can't insert it coz they lost it, some just never had it and some have other random problems, so ya, I'm thankful for that solution, and I'll try that CPU Clock Utility later today ^^ Also, it takes me exactly 19 instances to launch it and I'm doing it on a X2 3.1GHz, I wonder how people with faster quad cores fare with that

smunisto : I followered your intructions to the letter and it does NOT work for me .
I AM talking about the 2.1 patched version. ( maybe my image is no good? )
but it does work fine even without YASU on X3TC v2.0 .
just NOT working for 2.1

LOL... those 15 clicks on the executable increase the processing making the TAGES drivers when checking the virtual drive think it's a real DVD drive and accept the image.

There are freeware programs out there called "RightMark CPU Clock Utility". It let's you adjust the CPU & Throrttle speed - this is similar to the 15 simultaneously clicks.
Google for more help about X3 & this utility.

Hey guys, i've just registered to help you guys.

What I did was searched everywhere for new image but couldn't find it. Then i discovered that you can still use the

X3_Terran_Conflict_(NORMAL_tages_MINI_image_by_xKV tor).mds

Just make sure you keep a backup of
X3TC.exe
dvm.dll

before the 2.1 patch.

After the patch copy the files back use the 2.0 files

It works for me without any problem or clicking the exe 15 times lol.

Cheers

Using files of different versions together may cause strange, unexpected behavior so, no, your solution is not good.

Read the changelog. No ETA given for the patch yet, but most likely it will be out until December. Egosoft respects again its promise to remove the copy protection after one - two years. They will also re-release the game without a copy protection as they already did in the past with other titles in the X series.

With this being on the way, i think this topic reached its end.

P.S.: patch 2.5 is out. No more CD-checks. Protection removed, bugs fixed and new stuff added to the game.
