Fair enough, so I've tried the patches.for days.and tried and tried and just end up in tears!Īccording to the install I have the English version so. After installing the game shows a 'no disc' message. I've managed to get the DoW game installed from the Anthology using the folder method described above with a Win2000 bottle. Hi I've tried all these and still can't get this damn thing running. (There are further problems with the CD key validation for online play,īut this error is covered on the relic site The good news is that 1.51 patch removes the copy protection meaning the game loads up withoutĪny further problems. , all the way up to 1.51 installing as normal through Crossover. The solution to this is to download the combo update from the relic site

I found that Crossover wouldn't 'mount' the disk, meaning that DoW would return an official error and not load up. This means that the game needs to have CD1 inserted to play. However! Out of the box DoW v.1 ships with copy protection. Use this procedure with Winter Assault too. Now all that remains is to install software through Crossover using the 'select installation folder' method. Skipped the files from the rest of the CD's. autoplay.ini is on each CD so I kept CD1's and Workaround: Copy contents of each CD into one folder.

I couldn't get Crossover to 'eject' the CD to continue installation Installation for Dawn of War and the expansion Winter Assault required swapping out CD's. Have you read this over in the Tip & Tricks? Multi CD workaround / Copy protection fix What OS system are you running? What retail version of the game do you have? (patching won't work if you 'borrowed' the game)

Dawn of war no cd patch
