New copy-protection problems w 1.21f!

WOAH!!!! Even the slightest mention of nocd patches in this forum get the moderators all riled-up.


K, now I'm not interested in getting the game to work WITH a theoretical *cough* nocd patch... because I actually PAID for the game... So moderators calm down & stop giving me hope for a solution to my problem by incresing the posts for no reason.

If anybody has the same problem that I do please post. It would feel good to know that I'm not the only person in the world that has this problem with the 1.21f patch only.

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!

I was able to finally get the game working with the 1.21f patch by uninstalling the updated ALI Ultra IDE drivers. Why is there a conflict only with this new patch & the IDE drivers??? I dunno maybe Firaxis or Infogrammes will let me now(I do think so).

In the mean time if anyone else has an Ali chipset DO NOT UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS!!!!!!! if you want to play PTW that is. Otherwise enjoy the added performance of updated drivers.
