Carimya Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hey all! I bought Shivering Isles and I made a safetycopy, so I could still install when the original DVD is broken. Well exactly this happened. So now there´s just the copy. And always when I try to install it it asks me to use the original CD/DVD. But it´s broken. So do I have to buy another original SI DVD? And no I won´t get it for free cuz it was my fold that the DVD is broken. Is there a way to make it possible to install SI with a copy again? It´s really dumb if you buy the expansion and can´t play it because the safetycopy doesn´t work... GreetingsCarimya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 well, as far as i can say, if you get a no-cd patch, then it should do the trick (at least as far as i know)it isn't the best option, i know, but that's the only one i know of (but i don't really know about it, so my knowledge is rather limited) hope you can get it to work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carimya Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well I will try if I find one... THX for replying.Well really not the best option... Don´t know if No-CD Patches are illigal or just using them for a version that you didnt buy...But I will try thx EDIT: OK I found one. And don´t worry you didn´t help for an illegal action or whatever. I really had the original DVD. But as I said, I broke it >.<.Hope this patch works. THX again!

Carimya Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Didn´t work... It´s just a crack to play oblivion with shivering isles without DVD. But I´m not able to install SI with the copy. That´s the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 let me see if i understandyou can play the game with the copy CD, but you can't use it for installing SI, right??maybe if you find a crack for just Oblivion, without SI, maybe then it will work.......

Think you understood wrong...I HAVE the original Oblivion DVD. So I CAN play without a crack. But I CAN´T INSTALL shivering isles cuz then it asks me to insert the original SI DVD. And that one is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadimos Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Usually when somethign is broken you try to fix it which in this case you cannot, so you buy it again? I think nowadays it is like 5 or 10$. Support the developers. You all want a TES5 do you? I do! Just imagine the multi-threaded goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 correct me if i'm wrong, but when you play from a CD, don't you need the CD in order to run the game?? unless you can make a virtual image of Oblivion, then i have no ideai have very limited knowledge on this subject.......

Carimya Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 correct me if i'm wrong, but when you play from a CD, don't you need the CD in order to run the game?? unless you can make a virtual image of Oblivion, then i have no ideai have very limited knowledge on this subject....... No, no you understood wrong.I NEED the Oblivion CD to play. And I have ist so it´s no problem^^ But I need the Shivering isles cd only to install Shivering isles and not to play it. And the problem is that I can´t install SI because it somehow sees that it´s a copy... It asks me to insert the original one... And it´s broken. The copy is LEGAL. I don´t know how it is in your country but in germany copying games is legal as long as you don´t give the copy or the original to anyone.So it´s a legal copy but I can´t install with it cuz I need the original CD. But it´s ok... I´ll buy Shivering Isles again and it will (hopefully) work. It´s only 10€ in germany so it´s ok. THX to all who tried to help^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
