Recently, I updated win 10 and can't make this game to work. I tried using safediscshim but no way. Any clue?

As always, does it work if you use a crack (or restore the secdrv driver)?

phasermaniac83 commented 6 months ago

It doesn't work with a crack, It does the same as the regular exe with the cd in: it crashes at startup. Firts test I got the log txts in the exe folder, but now I'm testing with another version of the game and I can't get them to create. Anyway none seems to work. But I'm not sure what I'm doing. I have to delete drvmgt.dll and secdrv.sys from game exe folder and after that install SafeDiscShim? or I have to delete them after installing? I don't fully understand. Thanks

I tested a bit more and I can see this: -Using the regular exe with the iso mounted without SafeDiscShim installed: -Crash on startup -Using the regular exe with the iso mounted with SafeDiscShim installed: -It creates "hod3pc.exe_Cleanup_SafeDiscShim.log" and "hod3pc.exe_SafeDiscShim.log" in the exe folder -The game asks me for the correct CD, but it is mounted, doesn't recognize it. -Using the cracked exe with or without SafeDiscShim installed: -Crash on startup. logs are not created

I tried to delete drvmgt.dll and secdrv.sys from game folder, but no difference for me What does it mean for you? Thanks!

That this doesn't really seem like having much to do with safedisc?

I just supposed it was the case, as It worked on a win 10 21h21. I have all dx and dotnet so I don,t know what is the problem Edit: Just found that I had created two vjoy controllers, and had to disable them to start properly the game. So as you said, it had nothing to do with safedisc
