Defilen Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 High peeps, I'm having difficulty with the disk itself. I'm getting the message "This is a back up disk please insert the original" I'm using the Paradox retail version. Can you help? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You should contact Paradox support in that case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniga Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hmm, thing is I'm getting this too after patching up to version 1.20. Paradox retail disk which has been working at version 1.11 for some time now... Defilen, are you only getting this after having patched too?

Schrullenhaft Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 As much effort as it may be, would it be possible to go back to 1.11 and see if the CD copy check still works and then re-apply the 1.20 patch to see if it does break ? This of course involves uninstalling CMSF completely to start from scratch. You are applying the proper 1.20 patch for Paradox, correct ? Do either of you have any modules installed ? If so, then the Paradox patch is no longer appropriate and your licensing converts to eLicense (and the CD is no longer required to play CMSF). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viniga Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Update: After uninstalling and then re-installing and patching up version be version I have not been able to launch the game at any version. SO it's NOT the patch's fault. This is weird. It was working fine, it is a legit copy and I don't have anything which Securom state as being 'bad'. I've sent one of their analysis files off to them. I also can't see any scratches on the CD. The only other thing which has changed on my system are Windows Updates. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Are you right-clicking on the executable/short-cut and selecting "Run as administrator" from the pop-up menu ? I'm not sure if any Windows patch (XP or Vista) would have made that more of a requirement than before with some programs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniga Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I've tried to go through the SecuRom support process but it's like wading through mud, i'll persevere though! I've also installed to another PC and the game is working fine there. The non-working system is XP64 and the working one is Vista64. Totally at a loss here. Does the game supplied by Battlefront also use SecuRom? Wondering if I could trade this heap of S**T in?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Battlefront has never used Securom for its copy protection. Before eLicense was used there was a proprietary disc-based copy protection scheme, but that is no longer used. All Battlefront games distributed by Battlefront use eLicense (well, almost all, TacOps doesn't). Basically if you purchase any of the CMSF modules (Marines and/or British Forces), your licensing gets changed to eLicense and the Paradox disc is no longer necessary to play (though you'll want to keep it for reinstallation purposes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viniga Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well I must like this game as I just bought Marines and British Forces to get it to work. Sorry about hijacking your thread Defilen - but this solution works Viniga 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
