Second2None Posted July 15, 2000 Share Posted July 15, 2000 Has anyone made a backup of their game? What's the deal with the tutorial file? When I try to make a copy it doesn't like the space in front of the file. Sercurity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 I only put this to the top for I really hate not being able to make backup copy of my favorite games/apps and putting the original away until the backup gets damaged. BEFORE ANY SMARK A$$/FLAME comments come my way I bought two copies of the game so there. Backups should be everyones right, for accidents do happen. Besides, if the CD's are serialed then pirated copies can be traced back to the purchaser and backups should not be a concern towards piracy.

Purple4Ever Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 Carentan - Are you able to play the game with the backup? I was able to create a backup (even with the funky tutorial file name). I then did an install from the backup and started the game - got the "CD Required" message. Can't play the game with the backup Mind you, I have a read/write CD-Rom drive, not a separate cd-burner "component" - maybe that's the problem? Backups are essential - curious children, spiteful spouses, teething pets - all are constant dangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
