Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 After playing galactic conquest for many hours, I decided I want to try against other players. Empire at War said that to play multiplayer it is required I get this patch. I got the patch and install it. I launch the game and to my surprise: "Please insert the original SWEAW_1 cd/dvd". I was very frustrated, as I have the DVD in the drive and it is the "original" and only CD. It it brand new today and worked before patch. How can I play multiplayer if I can't get the patch working? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I am from England if this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakris Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I got the same message... I have the CD version of the game and installed the patch immediately after installing the game. However, I tried starting the game a few more times and eventually it read the CD and started the game. I would suggest trying to start the game from the disk ... via autoplay or just double-clicking on the executable ... Hope that works for you!

Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 When the message came up did you keep clicking retry or did you click cancel and try running again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakris Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I cancelled and tried it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Well, I must've tried opening it at least 50 times now, to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakris Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You might try taking the disk out and popping it back in and trying it that way ... I had similiar issues with Silent Hunter III in DVD ... eventually it would work though. I hope you can find a solution to this issue. Maybe one of the Petro guys can help out.(I had read on the Lucasarts forum that someone said this was a CD Only patch.. but I don't know ifthat had any validity) Good Luck!!

Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 This is the error message:Wrong disc inserted.Please insert the original "SWEAW" CD/DVD. Confusing, I only got **1** cd/dvd so it MUST be the original. This message confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 My game IS real, I bought it from Play.com (uk). I have daemon tools, but why does it need to be uninstalled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 I uninstalled Daemon tools, nothing changed, any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin_Krist Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Maybe someone who can mod could mod the patch somehow to make it work with the DVD? Or can I get a petroglyph guy to answer here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
