Beware of DreamCatcher's Painkiller
apathy
Thats too bad about painkiller, I was really looking forward to buying since the demo seemed real promising, after the ut2k4 fiasco I think I will hang onto my money now and hope that doom3 isn't in the same boat, if it ever comes out.

I haven't checked meself yet since I haven't gotten the game, but I could have swore I heard that Deviance had a no-cd patch out for the retail game. (THANKS DEVIANCE!!!!! :D )

This is good news. Not that it is good, but it is good to KNOW, and it is a good word to SPREAD. To be FORCED TO CRACK a game just to play it... To be FORCED TO BREAK THE LICENSE just to play the game... its nuts! The Copy-Protection insanity must stop. People must show that they are not prepared to pay for games they cannot use. Spread the word, and let bad press show that we are not up for this shit anymore.

Yes someone has a crack for it.. As Jemy said you will be forced to crack it. And it may not work online if cracked, if there is online play. I like this news :)

I believe there were a few people who had problems installing UT2004, using the dvd. Dont think it was a big deal, maybe the drives needed updated or the people were running windows 95 or something..

i've found with alot of these games that give problems, that if i boot into safe mode and install i have no probs whatsoever installing them, hell even Daemon tools works in safemode in XP:) the draw back to installing via safe mode.... it takes a bit longer to install:)

The "fiasco" was getting my brand new asus dvd drive to properly recognize the ut2k4 dvd when I try to start the game. My secondary dvd burner wouldn't see it either. There is a huge thread about this at the epic forums. Fortunately someone released a no-cd for the dvd version or else I would have been sol.

I checked for a firmware update for both of my dvd drives but none were available, one of them was only a few weeks old when I got the game and no I don't use 95, I use w2k.

i havnt tried this with painkiller mind you, but my Mafia, Gothic 2, and a couple others can only be installed in safe mode... the funny thing is the first time i brought said games home, they installed normally, it was only recently i found i had to use the safe mode trick to get them going again if i had to reinstall em.

omg, i just played Painkiller... the game looks cool.. but tbh, nothing we havnt seen in RTCW really, but at least RTCW had a single player game that had.... substance. in painkiller: 1.enter checkpoint 2.kill 100+ creatures collecting souls as you go (wasnt this a UT mod?) 3. collect coins (COINS!?) and power ups (sounds like mario brothers) 4.move to next check point 5 repeat steps 1-4 when overall level is done, you collect tarrot cards or something, but thats where i lost intrest.. perhaps Dreamcatcher, should try some RealityCheck, and thank god this setback occured, they could surely take it back to.. the storyboard phase, and rethink it a bit from there lol.
