Do you have Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% or another virtual drive program?

If so try disabling it then running the game. It's something to do with the copy protection on the CD not liking virtual devices.

Have to confess, mine was from PC World for £35, couldn't be arsed to order it, picked it up while working a couple of hundred yards away from the store.

[The Shiznit]

Dont you think its a bit steep though? If you can get it off play.com for cheaper - where does the difference go?

Shops like PC World have massive overheads to consider when pricing games up.

Companies like play.com have no shop as such, there just a warehouse with pickers/packers.

Agreed a tenner on a game is a little excessive but....


The games worth it.

[The Shiznit]

Not complaining, just curious.. I understand the online thing is cheaper too. The game is most definitely worth the dosh mind !

[GoldRush]

yes indeed i had alchohol installed
and removed it just like activision told me to do
and for some reason it work's fine now
but now i have to put alchohol back on the system and remove and so on and on
so i decided to put the single player crack in the dir
otherwise i cant burn any dvd's
or have to search for another program again LOL

[Hunter]

considering my reliance on alcohols virtual drive system, I would have just used a no cd patch for the game, u should still be able to play online anyway cuz the servers only check your cd key not the exe file

[Darkie]

You only need to diasable the virtual drive.... not uninstall Alcohol.

My Computer -> Right click the virtual drive -> Disable

Then re-enable it afterwards.


considering my reliance on alcohols virtual drive system

Que! - It's not just alcohol it's all Virtual Devices.. and it's caused my the copyright protection ... not the virtual device.

[Red Plague]

I got Alcohol virtual drive installed and I got no probs... weird...

[Wraith]

Needed to get hold of this game before I started work so I thought... hmm wots open before 09:00... 08:00 twould be better.... hmmm Newsagent.... Hmmm WH Smiths! - Oh yes £29.99 - couple quid dearer than some other shops- but at least they were open *really* early :) did concider Amazon- but even though I live 15 mins away from their main depot- Im still waiting on crap from 2 weeks ago (postal strike etc blah blah blah)...

nm- just doing the standalone games "now" whilst waiting for da BA crew to turn up (Goldie disappeared from TS) ... c u all l8r

[Major HangOver]

Tesco, was i supprised to see it on the shelf for £29

Bourght it and guess what, one serial works on both machine (Online, same server)

and

No-cd exe still works too, so i guess i have one too many copies :D

Back to the shop tomorrow for a exchange me thinks |angel|

[Mega Hangover]

yo can buy me a jumper then, with money spare:D :D

[JonnyThunder]

Yeah, I wrote to Amazon cos their service is just pretty amazing really. It was sitting waiting for me at work this morning (7.30)... now THAT is stonking service. And £27 all in I think.

Sweeeeeeet.

but I've more pressing issues to attend just now - trying to get Tony Hawks Underground working!

[Typhoid]

got my legal copy from Tesco too this morning - YAY!!

[Darkie]

Play.com were kind enough to deliver mine this morning.

Useless...

[JonnyThunder]

Christ, that fuckin sucks man. 5 days after release date!

Shoot the PLAY staff immediately. Nonces.

[Hunter]

I had originally pre-ordered it from play then cancelled when Phil pointed out to me that play normally deliver 2-3 days after the release coupled with the problem of royal mail strikes
I bought it last saturday from my local GAME store for 30 notes

[don187]

i got mine from gametron, preordered and picked up day after release,cost 29 notes
