I tried getting this 2x now and everytime I extract the archive I get this message;

"You need to start extraction from a previous volume to unpack X3.mdf"

I have used 2 differnt kinds of extractors, and extracting the file from the lowest volume to the higest, nothing seems to work...any ideas?

I myself have alot of problems with this release. I've followed the .nfo and im at the step where i should install the game. Problem is that i just wont run, the files are on the mounted image but nothing happens, they are all 0kb.
I do not have OS standard drivers for my IDE controller, can that be the problem?

Man o Man this was complete bitch to get to work. Followed numerous setup guides to no avail. Finally sussed it though what an absolutely georgous game!

Some of those stilll having probs may well have the issue i had. Seems some of these releases have a bugged(best term) sfcure.rar i know for a fact that at least 2 i downloaded were missing 1 or another file. However after getting a proper version it worked like a charm.
My suggestion to those having probs with this is redownload an x3 release but stop all files except the tools.rar or sfcure.rar and try a different one.

Hope this helps those that had the same probs as me. And btw i didnt use sfnightmare nor virtual cd hide either.
!: Command prompt goto dir (i.e. f: (enter) cd sfcure (enter)) with sfcure type !setup
2: Mount with alc with encryption on install.
3: Update to 1.2 get a command prompt and goto the dir with the protect.exe and type protect.exe /drv:remove reboot
4: After rebooting command prompt goto sfcure dir type !start then !run
then try game if u reboot do 4 again

1 reason maybe a windows update patch because i reinstalled xp from scratch but didnt update windows at all. Obviously cd/dvd is physically removed.

Well, followed the instructions and got this game working. However, I keep getting bsods because of sfcure01.sys.

Wiped this game clean...a pain in the ass to install. Smile
