OK, I bought Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance, Well I installed Supreme commander and everything went ok but when I double clicked the desktop Icon I get Wrong disk inserted EVERY TIME. Even though I'm using the disk that came in the box.

I already reinstalled it, and it didn't do anything.

I tried taking the disk out and re-inserting it but I still get the error when I try to use the desktop Icon. Also The auto play feature works and brings up the game menu from the DVD itself and I can start and play the game from there.

The same thing is happening with Supreme Commander Forged Alliance also, and I bought both games from different stores SO I know its not the DVDs themselves.

Also somtimes it makes my CD/DVD drive COMPLETLEY disapear from "My Computer" and I have to restart my F'*king computer.

I think the sh*tty anti piracy sh*t doesnt like my CD/DVD drive. :banghead:

The name of my CD/DVD drive is an Emprex, I'll see if I can find the box...

so get a "fixed" .exe file for it!

Not too sure I should have said that, so if you are not familiar with how that works, we could move that to PM's!

Fixed .exe's certainly sound better, but it is still somewhat frowned upon from what I understand. I don't really consider them a crack, more of a conveniences (rather than constantly thumbing around my dvd folder).

Just a quick question, do you use virtual drives at all? I know that conflicts with a lot of games now a days.

Umm. Last time i played SC was about 5 month ago and it DID NOT need the DVD after patching was done. Think it was v 1.52 and the DVD check was removed. Did they re add the DVD check with the addon :(..

I have no idea.. I cant get mine to patch unfortunatly, I'll have to manually find the patchs and do it from there..


@Darknova, Yes I do use virtual drives for some games I have, could it be a problem?

If I remember right, I have the 1.5.3599 patch for Forged Alliance and 1.1.3280 patch for Supreme Commander. Also, I tried the game with Game Jackal, but then I couldn't use the mods (don't ask why) same goes if you try a "modified .exe" so stay away from them.

Yes, the later patches makes the game run without DVD. The problem I had was that the damn game didn't start at all.. giving me an error (prolly because of AMD?).

Anyway, need patches? Visit www.patches-scrolls.de (Note to admin/webmasters - this page is TOTALLY legal and has only patches and does not have "nocd" or "cracks" or anything similar to that!)
