Painkiller Copy Protection Problems - briefly
(hx) 01:16 PM CEST - Apr,09 2004 - Post a comment / read (14)
According to Painkiller official forum, the game is not working with a many drives, including the widely used HP, Compaq, Dell and OEM LG drives. Fortunately, Painkiller Update v1.1 should be available soon for download.
PAINKILLER DOESN'T WORK WITH THE FOLLOWING DRIVES:

Pan International CyberDrive 240:
Once a bad sector is read, all following reads are returned as bad and the game disc will not play correctly.

ASUS CD-S400:
On Windows 9X, when the DMA option is selected for this CD Drive, the drive freezes during CD initialization. To allow the game to play successfully from this drive, disable the DMA option for the drive and reboot the system. Consult your operating system help files for instructions on turning off the DMA setting.

M a t s h i t a CR-581-B:
On Windows NT 4, initialization may fail and the game may not play. Windows 9x, Windows 2000 and Windows XP work correctly.

Philips CDD2000:
The game is incompatible with this drive.

LG GDR-8161B:
The game is incompatible with this DVD drive.

Toshiba HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR-8081N (Sep 2002 Laptop drive):
The game is incompatible with this DVD drive.

LG HL-DT-STDVDRAM GMA-4020B Apr 2003 IDE (internal drive):
The game has known intermittent problems with this drive. Most of the time it does work but on occasion the game will fail to start.

Other problematic drives are Toshiba HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR-8081N (2002 sept laptop drive), LG HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GMA-4020B Apr 2003 IDE (internal drive) /probably none of these LGs are working/, HL-ST-DVDRAM GSA-4081,YAMAHA CRW-F1E, Lite-On 526S (LTN 526S)...

This is the same as every SafeDisc game made - including Call of Duty, Lord of the Rings, etc. You don't have to uninstall the emulation software just, disable it.

Hey, publishers, guess what? SafeDisc bad. Working game good.

Yep. Reason #1 why I play bootlegs. Because unlike the original, the bootlegs WORK!

rebelcpuposted - Apr, 11 2004 - 03:08
Another reason why DEVS treat customers as criminals! A GAME GETS BOUGHT ON ITS MERITS, GFXs, and REPLAYABLE GAMEPLAY! Having no COOP MP is REAL BAD but having gawd awful CD protection takes the cake. Look at SACRED - gawd the devs/publishers are such asses! JErks!

I buy games. I buy games that are worth it. If I download a bootleg and like the game. I buy it. Plain and simple. I am so tired of hyped games that are crap. Most of the time I haveto use a NOCD patch for my originals. That's ridiculous.

THIS IS CRAP, YOU FIGURE IF PEOPLE SPEND A HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY COMING UP WITH A GAME THEY WOULD AT LEAST SPEND THE TIME TO MAKE SURE IT IS GOING TO RUN IN COMMON CD AND DVD DRIVES. I GUESS NOBODY FIGURED THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH HP COMPUTERS!!! THIS sh@#$@#% IS GOING BACK TO THE STORE AND I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE INCONVENIENCING MYSELF WITH DREAMCATCHER SOFTWARE IN THE FUTURE. DOWNLOADED THE V. 1.0 PATCH AND IT DOESN'T WORK, CD JUST SPINS IN THE DRIVE. I WOULDN'T THINK I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO SPENDS 40 BILLS AND ACTUALLY EXPECTS THE GAME TO WORK WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD PATCH AFTER PATCH.

Most of you lot are a bunch of whining llamas. Insulting the developers because they left out a feature you wanted and the n using it as justification for pirating the game. Claiming that a pirated version works better than an original! Not only are you whiny you're fucking stupid too.
