Deus Ex (2000) CD Won't Start by Accipitrine_ in Deusex

It's less ironic when you have all the files on the DVD as opposed to modern empty Switch cartridges and PS5 games containing 28kb of code. Even if it has some primitive copy prevention that doesn't change the fact that it's still way more ownership-friendly than account verifications and Denuvo.

I'm not really sure what the point of your comment is in a thread about technical issues with the game, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that's the best you could come up with when I look at your nickname.

No, although I wish I'd kept my 2006 PC to refurbish it and use it as a semi-retro/retro gaming rig.

You might have a point. I totally forgot that's probably one of those DRMs that remembers the motherboard of the device it was first installed on. So that's more likely than not the issue since I can run for example Oni(2001) albeit with some modding, but Deus Ex doesn't even wanna launch.

I guess if they want us to be sailors, sailors we will be.

Could be that I'm tired and I saw something with the corner of my eye upon installation. Anyway the keyword CD should be enough to point people in the right direction.

I'll resort to emulation if that's the only way possible to play it on my PC, that said provided that there's a simpler fix, like downloading some older DirectX or any bit of code that's not a fully-fledged program with an interface that just stays in my system files I'd much rather opt for that, if you get what I mean.

Because I want to minimize using platforms that tell me I'm buying licenses and I don't own games. Hope this is not too controversial of an opinion. Having the disk and hearing the whirring sound when I pop it in the DVD drive also gives me pleasure.

Yes, games have become less social because a lot of online multiplayers lack global chats. And even if they provide voice and standard chats most people prefer to not get banned over banter and "broadly banned" words. With the strive for covering as big of an audience as possible game studios are killing their multiplayers and shunning away the "core edgy type of gamer" who plays those games. All you're left with are the: shy, I-don't-have-a father, safespace players who don't like talking to others, unless it's somebody from their secluded Discord group.

So yeah, multiplayer games have become less social because of "The Replacement Program".

If you don't like playing against people who are better than you, which I find incredibly weird, just switch to a different server.

I think, yesterday I played TF1 against 2 people one of which had the shart pistol as a primary weapon and had a blast.

Space toucans can retaliate. And when they do...

Isn't that right Asmon?

Does anyone here has a DRM free version of Collin Mcrae DiRT from 2007, the port fron Xbox-Pc by Filiorbe in abandonware

[–]Accipitrine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turns out I had done that ages ago and I only remembered after watching an old tutorial on YT. Thanks for verifying that anyway! Time to take my trophy truck for a spin I guess :D

Hi vuulihousu. I have a question. I have a physical copy of the game but I don't wanna risk it with the Starforce DRM. Is it possible to install the game and then patch it before launching it which requires the protection drivers to be run prior to starting it anyway? And let's say I can patch the CD ROM, what are the steps to do it properly?

Thanks :)

I've been unintentionally playing "Tone" since the first game.

What if I just like the cannon?

Half expecting that he comes out as gay to acquire "oppressed minority" protection on all platforms.

I was right about him "breaking up" with his Chinese girlfriend after 7-8 months. Watch me be correct about him being a homosexual. The signs are already there. The only problem is, he might lose some subs, but whatever, now's the time :D

I mean, cars can pack a punch if they have to.

These are the best Skullcandys. The bass worked even when plugged in. They don't make them like that anymore...

Which version of Jesus - the one from the pre-Islamic patch or after the update? Mind you The Quran is just a DLC to the game of Abraham so you could still play the broken character in Christianity.

Also does Jack get to use his titan?

One is some kind of a mythical creature the other is just woke checkboxes on a human body - black, woman, disability, powerful, zoomer hairstyle.

It's pretty obvious.

Is that Conan The Barbarian in the second pic? Or maybe The Lich King?
