blacknight_8 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Rockstar , i know for security reasons that you add the disk check as an act against piracy . But with securom in the game , should you relax abit on the disk check? EA has included a no - dvd game and thus consumers are able to play without the disc present in the dvd-drive . It is quite inconvenient with the disc always present in the drive . And for those who think i am a pirate , you are wrong . I hate my disc being in the drive as it restricts what i can and cannot do . I still can tolerate with GTA IV since it is a great game but i really hope that it can be played without a disc .

BigSlongsDaddy Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 it doesn't really matter to me , its not that hard in putting the disk in the disc drive.

streetlifeg Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've bought the legal version of the game, and yes it's bugging me to hell. Would be great to have a legit no-CD executable, people will get them from 'warez' sites anyway, why not have it available by CD key activation for example? It *is* inconvenient to have the CD in the drive just for playing. I bought crysis too, and had to go to an illegal site to get a no-CD patch. I bought the game, why can't I play it freely?

bidji Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 yes, I think they should provide a no-dvd patch. I just don't think they will... that's why I took the initiative of dling one of those "independent patches" and put the dvd safely back into its box.

blacknight_8 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 it means i cant burn stuff. The more i have to remove it from my drive , the more scratches there are on the disc .

ravenmorpheus Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yes the no-dvd patch works fine, even allows you to play online, all it does is remove the sh*terom checks. Strictly speaking though, as I understand it we're not allowed to discuss cracks here so I'm not going to mention who the no-dvd patch that everyone should be looking for is credited to. I believe ALL games should have a no-dvd, but with the bean counters at the top always concerned about piracy (i.e. not making enough $, despite not losing any either...) there will never be any official no-dvd patches, not now, last game I know of that had one was Dawn of War Dark Crusade by Relic. And that was a few years ago now. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388248-should-we-have-a-no-disc-game/#findComment-1058818687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacknight_8 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hey , you are missing out THQ Supreme Commander. It was an official patch to remove the dvd check so it went no-dvd.

DZorro Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I don't see the point either. Bethesda also has games for windows and fallout 3 doesn't need the dvd either. Why can't rockstar do the same ?? It's a real hassle to put the dvd in and out just to play a game. And since i bought it they also have securom on it. So i don;t see the problem either. I nkow they are trying to protect there investments but i also trying to protect my dvd from scratches. So the more i play it the more i have to put it in the dvd drive the the bigger the chance get for scratches to appear. And that is what i am trying to avoid here.

It's not like R* loses out anything by users not inserting the CD... yes, I can. and yes, disc-in-drive copy protection is as likely to prevent illegal game distribution as the dodos are to one day come back and rule the earth. come to think of it, it might even be less likely... what with the advances in genetics and what have you not.

Shof Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I do not know if it just my drive, or the crappy secureom however one of the things i noticed is that when i play the game, it tells me to insert disc1 to play. Only problem, is that disc is in the drive but securerom is too lazy to spin the drive making me eject the drive and put it back in again Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388248-should-we-have-a-no-disc-game/#findComment-1058818758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSANtilles Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 and fallout 3 doesn't need the dvd either Excuse me? I dont know where you 'bought' your game from but my official Fallout 3 DVD certainly needs to be in the drive when I want to play, and Im sure many others are as well. However I do agree on the front that they should work out a legal way to have a No Disc executable to avoid disc wear n tear.

Sorkenlol Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Rockstar just wanted to throw it in the pirates faces, just for sh*ts and giggles. Didn't work out too well though. What bothers me is that they spent millions of dollars and time to install these security checks and various sh*t instead of polishing the game.

bidji Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 yeah, except I would hardly consider getting the game you bought to launch as it should (as in without the disc in the drive, all the data already having been uncompressed to your HDD) to be an act of piracy. why is it illegal again?
