Make sure you are selecting the correct EXE and not the Loader EXE

Just mount in Daemon 4.03 and use AntiSecuROM AntiBacklist-fixer and direct it to the StarWars sweaw.exe executable.

No need (least for me) to use any other util such as CureROM etc.

Game isn't worth the hype/hassle tbh.

I can't get it to work either. I have tried everthing:

Mounted with DT 4 and :

1. Curerom...nothing worked. I keep getting an error that Curerom can not start Anti-blacklist measures.

2. Sr7.Stop and Pr0t.Stop....nope. Keeps saying "Nothing to hide"

3. Anti-blah (for the hell of it)...nothing

I had the curerom program set to the data/sweaw.exe (not the loader)...still nothing

I am ready to give up....

I am trying to run this one: Star.Wars.Empire.At.War.CloneDVD-MiRROR

any other ideas?

Using Daemon Tools 4.03 HE, CureROM 1.03b, with it set to 3 seconds, the main executable, and the main executable in Win2000 Compatibility Mode, I can get it to launch perhaps ONCE out of 10-15 tries. This is truly fucked up.
Also, all my opticals are disconnected.

Someone want to enlighten me as to why it will launch on try 3, but not on try 10? I'm at a loss here.

That will only work if YOU HAVE the CD version of the game. The DVD release is all kinds of **** up., mind as well wait for Deviance to work its magic.

Well,

I used some anitsecurerom program and got the loading screen to come up. But then it just freezes...nothing happens.

I have to alt/det/cntl to get out.

Any ideas on that one?

The CD version is fine, using antisecurom on the main exe it loads up and works perfectly. The DVD version is a complete bitch to get to work, i've had it running on the odd occasions but this is so rare it just isn't worth the hassle.
My advice to the DVD owners who are having problems is to grab CD1 of the CD version and use that.
Also i a few hours ago i came across a mini image (100 meg though Shocked ) but i can't confirm if this works or not.

Ok mini image works Surprised didn't think this was possible with Securom but i'm not complaining. So if you got the DVD version this is the easiest way to get it running and avoid all the pissing about.

1) Install game
2) Mount mini image with DT
3) Use Antisecurom and browse to the sweaw.exe in the games gamedata directory.
4) Play.

SecuROM Loader is i believe the proper name, AntiSecurom is the name of the file inside.

Securom burner loader maybe? I tried that one but get error that emulation device is detected or something like that. If is start EAW with curerom, it starts but within 1-2 minutes it gives the following error:

An exception has occured. See _logfile.txt and _except.txt for details. Press cancel to exit or retry to debug.

When i go to _except.txt it says this:

Exception in thread DF4 - LoadThread
Exception code EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.
Attempt to read from address 7FFE2E58

What now?
