And you can also remove Tages using the official tool, unless you still have other games installed with Tages protection.

Interesting, now if they'd just release the editor that they gave the 1404 crowd for the DOD gamers and fixed the problem where after the last patch we can't download our online profiles, then things would be great!

Great News but that link is in German and this link is English. Just click on copy / Activation and goto 2nd page and it is at the bottom.

The patch removes the Draconian copy protection from the game. You don't even need to have the disc in the drive anymore.

I haven't read that link to the German forums, though, so I don't if this affects the "3 installs and your out" activation stuff, though.

Case in point, I just uninstalled the game because I'm about to upgrade my system to Windows 7. When (and if) I reinstall the game, will I only have one install left before I have to contact "Customer Support" and beg them to let me use my own software, or is that a thing of the past now? I don't know.

You need to install the game and install the 1.1 update before you first start of the game. (DVD Version)

Don't start the game till you install the patch or it will not work you need the patch.

Wow, we got a third of what we wanted. Now, if they only posted this in the English forum in English for the Englishers then that'd be great.
But I already gave up in the game. Horay!

d'oh!

Thanks for the translation, dmdilks!



My laziness to do my own leg work makes me feel so ashamed sometimes.

I just got a solid state Harddrive and install Win7 64bit. Then install DOD & than installed the patch 1.1. I didn't even have to install the key so now you can put it on as many computers you want.

1 Install the game
2 It will ask to setup the graphics. Click OK and it set that up than it will bring you to internet and cancel that out.
3 Install the Patch 1.1
4 Start the game and no key needed.

Great news. I went and bought a box copy even though I already have Direct2Drive download. I covered 1 illegal copy I guess. Now it can go on my collectable shelf.
