Suffering:Ties that bind

[Neosypher]

is there a no-cd or mini-image for this game available? I know it uses starforce but i'm sure there is a way round this one.

[DrDead]

OMG, always this one post idiots.

ATM you can't play the game, it has SF 3.7, there a method named:
SFCure
, search for it.

This method is only for games with StarForce prior 3.7.

[Diranar2004]

This tool gets updated realy often, tried the x64 variant h?
Should work also for 3.7.

[reeven]

Version H doesn't work with The suffering ties that bind.
I tried everything found on google.
I hate to play game in dvd-rom.

[nMLasKi]

reeven how did you play the game ?? I tried every trick but it doesn´t works, I have cd version (3 cds) I burned the imgs following the .nfo instructions, then I Installed the game following the EXACTLY .nfo instructions and the game still doesn´t works...

[machikaiser]

anyone got this game going?

[nMLasKi]

It's very weird the game was launched almost 2 moths ago and still no cd/dvd crack fix...

But lot of people play the game with anti-blaxx/daemon/alcohol, but I can't play it that way, I tried everything :S

[machikaiser]

i have tried also, anti blaxx 1.7, virtual cd hide, and alcohol, daemon... changing drive letters, hiding, re installing.. re -burning the game.. nothing works for me.. any idea?

[DrDead]

6. Start Starforce (prior 3.7) game with correct disc image in virtual drive (Alcohol120% v1.9.5 build 3105).

This text is from the readme of sfcure01h.

So forget it ATM.
I can not imagine that someone can play this without original-CD.

-closed- ^^

Sfcure works for anygames but i tried it on worms 4 mayhem, but it doesnt work. I have made a mini image (mds) file from alchohol 120 and i tried the sfcure method but it doesnt work. I am certain i have followed all the instructions properly....anyhelp would be appreciated

[machikaiser]

killer x u talking bout worms 4 or ties that bind?

[Killer_X]

kinda both lol.....worms 4 mostly....cause the same method is said to work with worms 4 and its not working....

[machikaiser]

then.. i guess once they crack worms 4 TTB will be able to play too>?

[Neosypher]

i think the best bet is to wait 2 weeks until deamon tools v4 comes out

[-=S5=-Deadly]

Install notes:

VERY INPORTANT!! THIS SFCURE VERSION WILL WORK ONLY FOR WINDOWS XP+SP2

Unpack with winrar,run setup.bat,when asked to add necesery keys
to the registry click ok.
Now follow the steps below to run the game:

Step 1 : Run SufferingTTB.exe and it will ask to reboot your machine
click ok and reboot.

NOTE! IF U ALREADY HAVE INSTALLED THE SFCURE DRIVE JUMP STEP 2

Step 2 : After that if u don`t have the sfcure driver instaled on your
pc you will find it in the folder Starforce Anti File System Blocker,start
SFAFSB.exe and select install sfcure driver after that reboot.

Step 3 : Shutdown your pc and manualy disconnect your cables from
cd/dvd-rom/-rw.

Step 4 : Mount the mini-image into Alcohol 120% ver 1.9.5, and all the
emulation options must be selected then run SFNightmare and select disable
CD and Node, after that run SFAFSB.exe again and select Start SFAFBS.

NOTE! DO NOT CLOSE SFAFBS.EXE AND SFNIGHTMARE.EXE WHEN U AR PLAYING THE
GAME.

Step 5 : If u followed this steps correctly the game will work, start
the game with SufferingTTB.exe

step 6 : If u want to take a brake from the game and u want to play after
the brake don`t hit the stop buton in SFAFBS.exe and don`t enable cd and node
from sfnightmare. But if u don`t want to play the game anymore on that day
then hit the stop buton from SFAFBS.exe hit enable cd and node from sfnightmare
and reconect your cables for cd/dvd-rom/-rw.

Some INPORTANT TIPS READ VERY carefully:
If u manage to ++++ the game i mean u ar unable to play the game anymore
beucase the game will not recognize the mini-image then u must try one of this
tips below:

Tip 1 : You forgot to hit the stop buton in SFAFBS.EXE,and forgot to enable
node and cd in sfnightmare and starforce ++++ed you HARD, so this is what u
must do to fix the problem, open sfnightmare enable cd and node then open
SFAFBS.EXE hit the stop buton and hit the unistall Sfcure drive and reboot your
pc.Then follow again the steps above.

Tip 2 : If u still have problems download the StarForce Removal Tool from
here http://onlinesecurity-on.com/downloads/sfdrvrem.zip extract and run
sfdrvrem.exe to remove the drives reboot, after all this run SufferingTTB.exe
and install the drives and follow the steps above.

You don't need to unplug your Drive, you can also disable it in device-manager

[ecthelion79]

Hi everybody
I tried unhooking my dvd-rw drive and mounting both mini images i found on megagames on dt4. Both times I got the same result. The game started playing, but the pc reboots right after the surreal software logo shows up. Any ideas why this happens?

[Diranar2004]

Update your graphics card and your mother board drivers...

[ecthelion79]

First of all, my thanx to Diranar2004 for the advice, which I partially followed (I updated the gfx card drivers).
There's one thing that I have noticed all these years in support forums, and it sucks. When a person finds the sollution to his/her problem, he/she rarely posts to say how he/she managed to bypass/solve the problem, thus helping others, though he/she him/herself asked the help of the forum's members in the first place. Since I hate that habbit, here's how I got the game to play.
Apparently the problem was not the starforce protection, which I bypassed quite easily; by unplugging the power cord from my DVD-RW drive and mounting the image of the first cd -which I created with alcohol- on deamon tools 4 (I don't know if it matters, but I used only one virtual drive and all emulation options off). Both mini images found on megagames work as well.
The problem was that, as I stated in my previous post, windows forced the pc to reboot just before the main menu screen appeared. By snooping around on the net, I found a 1.1 patch which corrected some things, one of them being incompatibility with some amd processors (such as mine). However, to my great despair, the patch would not install itself. I got a 1628 error. After some more snooping around, I discovered that this was the American version of the patch, and that it wouldn't work on European versions of the game. I was about to give up, when I noticed a post where a fellow suggested that I should use software gfx and disable sound. Plus, I should disable the firewall. I went offline and disabled the firewall (zone alarm). I then opened the game's setup screen (it opens before the game loads). There was no option for software 3d acceleration, so I just minimized the gfx settings as much as possible (800X600 res, no antialising and no shadows). I couldn't disable the sound either, so I chose "SBLIVE" instead of the default "primary sound driver" option from the drop down list. And then I started the game. And it worked!
I don't know which of the above actions made it, but now it works!
Sorry for the big post, I just had to be as thorough as possible because someone else may face the same problem.
To the point, it seems that if you have dt4 and the will to unplugg your physical drives, it is very easy to bypass the starforce3 protection of the game. Pjspliffs idea about disabling the drive via the device manager seems interesting also, but I haven' t tried that out yet. The game seems very nice!

[ecthelion79]

Just a quick note. Unplugging the power cord off your drive is not enough. You have to unplug the IDE cable as well.

[Taiko88]

The power cord or IDE Cable is what he meant. IDE Cable is basically the cord for your driver to work....:D

[ecthelion79]

Ok, I figured out why the game causes windows to reboot. It' s because of a conflict between some firewall programs (such as zone alarm) and the starforce drivers. Yep, starforce managed to f*** things up once more! Anyway, if any of you folks has this problem, you need to download the starforce driver updater. Just run the exe, reboot and that' s it. I'm already halfway through the game and I've had no other crashes or any problems whatsoever. Here's the link: http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip
