backup copy time!

Let me know how your backup copy works, cause I made one with my computer and it gave me the message "Please insert the original disk and not a backup" when I tried to run the game from the back up... what program should I be using?

I usually load the cd image to the hard drive using Daemon Tools and play it from there. I know there are No-CD cracks for games that people also use.

farking crap.

trying to make a backup with my Blindwrite utility and load the image via Daemon Tools and it won't friggin work. Blindwrite limits the files sizes to 2gig and then starts on the next file, and Daemon tools doesn't like it. Any ideas?

Tried Alcohol. When I load it up, I get emulator detected errors (there isn't an option for the emulation type). I do know you can run it with a cracked EXE, so that combo would still work.

Hint: Think GCW, and you'll find it.

I went through this with a UT2k3 CD not long ago and I picked up a cheap scratch repair kit from J and R. It was like $7 and it actually worked!

I got my SE last night and I found the headset to be quite comfy. I also think releasing it this way was a great call by Epic and/or Atari. I love having only 1 disc to install the game from and the DVD case puts the cheesy paper sleeves from the 3 CD UT2k3 release to shame. Most of the new maps I've seen are excellent too. ONS-Frostbite is a bit odd as there's only one node to fight over, but I only got stuck on one mesh in an hour or so of gaming last night. Also, I found a Rocket Launcher on an ONS map, which made me very happy.

Ditto that. Got a good image with Alcohol 120, but when mounted with that or Daemon tools, UT2k4 barks at you and dies.

Hopefully a fix will so come about.

It comes with these ones except blue instead of red for the earpiece color. Other than that everything else is the exact same... not bad a $25 headset free with the game.

If the dvd was scratched out of the box that calls for a return and a company call.

I know EB opens games and lets their employees play them then bring them back in. We don't buy there any more....

Mine is still in my drive and BFV disk three is in my CD-RW drive since I am sure both these disks have to be in the drives to play. And who the hell is going to make an image of a DVD? I am sure it is a few gbs.

Oh no, a few gigs! When 250 gig drives are $130 after MIR, a few gigs isn't worth worrying about.

BTW, I thought the headset was USB...
