My first copy would not install, but would play fine, once installed from original.
I'm going to try again with (don't repair subs) in the write section ticked, and amplify weak.
I used lite-on 24102b with basically everything important ticked (except above) which works for securom and sd2.
This is a great game, my the way.
And I agree, there's definitely some new type of protection being used here. This is my first partial failure with the lite-on and clonecd.
Hope someone finds info on exactly what's being done here. There's no sd2 files on disk, I looked. So I assumed SecuRom version 2.
