Cull Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 from redwolf: I have to ask people to hold their horses until we have an actual case of this clash actually hurting somebody. Then we need to judge whether it's the copy protection's or the security program's fault. I would be happy to beat the crap out of any safedisk user I can get ahold of with a legally proof case, but this issue is a no-go for now. A voice of calm and reason! Where'd that come from? Try to fit in a little better around here, will you? Wait til I get my copy and it doesn't work! I know it's not going to! BTS fix or do somefink!

Tomlin Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Originally posted by Becket: Ugh. If my firewall came with software doing unwelcome things like that I'd send it back.

But have you heard of one of the newer copy protection systems which come on some game cds lately? It will scan your hard disk (registry) for the presence of Daemon Tools or any other known Clone CD-Tools and will prevent you from installing or running the game if it finds something. No joke! Btw, no problems so far runnnig CDV-CMBB from my DVD-drive with Norton Anti Virus in the background. Back to the battlefield! Tomlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertston Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I think CDV sorted out most of the problems after the Sudden Strike release - everything they have released since has been more or less OK. SS was a nightmare, something like 15% of buyers couldn't even install it because of incompatibilities with CD or DVD drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more mac users (who most have DVDeez, because Apple thought about the future) on this forum. They seem chippier, like yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Originally posted by Stoffel: Any news from our German friends regarding this? My software store adviced me to disable the virus scanner and the firewall to avoid problems with CDV´s copyprotection. I can find only one word for this! REDICULOUS :mad: I hope BTS is willing to pay for a new computer if mine gets wrecked by a hacker or a virus after internet playing. An even more disappointed CM player from Europe YEAH!!! CDV SCREWED US! AGAIN! I TRIED TO INSTALL CMBB WHILE RUNNING A FIREWALL AND A VIRUS SCANNER FROM MY DVD DRIVE AND GUESS WHAT?? :mad: :mad: It wasn't a problem at all. Then I read through the well done printed manual, read the parts who were available only as PDF files and printed out the maybe 10 pages I found I would need more often during the first days.

Stoffel Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 hmm,it looks like some guys from a specific country(which once I had respect for)try to make a fool out of me You never get me angry though,I am to tolerant for that. I use Trends antivirus,firewall and anti add/spam software. And the news given to me actually wasnt a joke,I asked for some advice on users to be sure,not to be flamed :mad: Now next thing I am waiting for is someone screaming that my crusade against CDV is because I hate Germans :eek: So lets stop here with flaming/funny remarks and get to the point please. Which is a simple answer on my question. Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Originally posted by Stoffel: So lets stop here with flaming/funny remarks and get to the point please. Which is a simple answer on my question. HenkWas that the question where you ask BTS to pay up for some imaginary damage to your computer or the one on whether there are problems? Because the latter one has been answered two or three times, and I guess most people would assume that you are not quite serious about the first one.

Stoffel Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 maybe I should have let that BTS remark aside,yes. but I was quite angry when I read the email about this copy protection issue. gave me a feeling like,hell another annoying thing about CMBB. maybe I overreacted a bit to much,but thats no reason to behave like some of the others did.

I'm sure you would've recieved different answers. Look at your first post: mad emoticons, wild accusations, so what do you expect? Again to your question: So far I've not heard of anyone having problems with the CDV version, not on any internet fora or in the reviews published so far.
