Yeh, the you-know-what is the problem. I usually use it too in my games, but it seems I just have arse myself to the store to buy an empty DVD to backup the game. :hmm:

Great positive news :)
If the Upscaling and AA is fixed they have another customer.

Oh and hi as its my first post, although I have been lurking for a while (SHIII days)

Schlageter-JG26 03-23-07 09:12 AM

Ok, this is new. So using a you-know-what program to back up my disc might be causing my crew to die? Or is this a coding problem? :hmm:

No offense, but other than BF2142 (of which I have 4 copies anyway for LAN purposes), I don't use ANY of my discs. I store most of them in a Dacal rotary and the rest in some nice cd storage cases.

I'm with Anachronous on this one. I remember OFP..... and I remember having to replace ONE original disc and TWO Resistance discs. Heck, that experience is what prompted me to go through ALLLLLLLLLLLLL my games and gaming drives and hook them all up with NOCDs or a virtual copy. Same reason I'm putting all my DVDs on my PC... instant access throughout the house.

As a management type, I understand Ubi's interest in protection of their bottom line. They just haven't come full circle with the logic that it imposes problems for many of the regular customers and hurts their product. Edit: not that it's "OMG terrible", but its just one more annoyance.

No offense, but I hope its fixed soon by the aftermarket, if not already.

StandingCow 03-23-07 09:23 AM

I really wish NOCD cracks did not cause this issue :( Having to have a CD in to play a game you purchased really sucks, as they get scratched, lost, etc...

But, enough of my negativity, thanks for the update neal, this is very good news. :D

Asking for such things is one of the quickest ways to earn a trip to the brig on these boards. Don't do it.

You broke the 3rd law! http://maxed.gry-online.pl/forum/htm...ons/scared.gif

But I'm with Anachoranus. He has it down. This kind of aggressive anti-pirating software doesn't work and only punishes us. Its like mandatory minimum sentenses or prohibition. It doesn't work! It never worked! It isn't going to work! All it does is make normal use into a trial. You're guilty until proven a legitimate consumer.:rotfl:Let people smoke their blunts and hunt their merchants! http://thefamilybiz.org/ezboard/emoticons/weed.gif

I especially hate the ones that make you remove certain progs. That is particularly offputting. Barring use because I have a program that CAN do something illegal is just wrong.

Maybe they're just scared that we'll download the game before we buy it and realise that we don't actually want to pay for it!;)

GT182 03-23-07 09:43 AM

:hmm: Unless he takes out the reference to you know what in his post, me thinks Schlageter-JG26 will be in the Brig or history very soon.

Mentioning what you did Schlageter, is NOT allowed and will beget you an untimely demise here on SS. Any mention of it is TABOO. :yep:

So if they get AA working, which option will have to be disabled fro cards older than the 8800? Which one of the graphics options controls the HDR it dosn't really say?

That's a good question I doubt many people have fully considered. Having said that, for most people I think FSAA is more important than HDR, not least because HDR is a much heavier drain on the card and hurts your frame rate a lot more. Radeon X1800 and X1900 series cards can simultaneously handle FSAA and HDR, as well as the Geforce 8 series, but the rest of us will have to make a choice.

Good news, developers. Keep up the good work. I'll be sure to buy your game.

However, some issues pointed out, like for example the 2D appearance of crewmembers, the random counting by the crew or the eyes popping out from the men’s heads are actually part of the protection scheme. Playing a cracked version of the game or even using a no-cd crack over a legal install of SH4 game triggers this protection.
Can you say "busted":rotfl:? I love the "bugs that go off when you play a cracked version" system. It's the #1 way to get pirates to fess up:rotfl:.

Awesome, developers. Simply awesome. I thought large-scale developers didn't do this anymore:lol:.

CaptJodan 03-23-07 10:07 AM

Thank you Neal for getting to the bottom of this. I know there were a lot of people that had an issue with both of those main themes. It'll solve some headaches. Thanks also goes to the devs who were listening and will do the best they can to fix this issue. It warms my heart that they are going to try and get some kind of AA and resolution fix, as I'm sure those aren't very easy to fix.

That's because it's stupid for the reasons noted above. And yes, I have a legit version of the game.
