I am interested in hearing feedback from players who upgraded to Windows 10. Is RotWK working for you? Is 2.02 working for you? Are there any issues?

Is it even available for the public yet? I know they are releasing today but thought not for everyone, yet.

It's available to all Win7 and Win8.1 users who have reserved their spot.

From what I've read here and there, Win10 has about the same compatibility with older games as Win8.1. SAGE games should run normally.

I know it's available for me, but I was a Windows Insider so... tongue.gif

Hmm, well it now throws a no-cd error when I try to run it. The image I used previously (the one we tell people to use) no longer works. I also tried gamecopyworld with no luck as their image still threw the no-cd error too...

Did you update your Daemon Tools installation? If you did, downgrade to an earlier version (Val posted the link in the BFME2 1.08 forums).

what happened to needing a disc hider? cuz I remember I used to need it but nowdays I don't, just use alcohol 52%, not sure why. Maybe Windows 10 has secret mind tricks that needs disc hider (idk wtf I'm talking about just imagining)

I am using v10, which I never upgraded from and worked in the past.

Tried some disc hider program called sd4_hide, no luck.

I had this problem about 2 months ago as well. The latest version, or any other version apart from version 4.xx (can't remember the exact sub numbers) does not work.

well, that doesn't help either.
tried a 2x version.

all the software do the same job, it must be something changed in the system...
the last think to think of is to burn a DVD lol and plug the whole thing back biggrin.gif

I'll confirm this today once I've got Windows 10 up and running.

well, it's only the ns-LotrBfMe2EP1_Maxi-poseden image, the image doesn't work anymore, all other Iso's work.

so what I did I extracted the files and created a new iso.
now I can mount it but still can't launch the game... it says please inserd DVD-ROM ..

I doubt it's the image itself that causes the problem. As I've mentioned before, I had this problem until I reverted back to the working version. I used that exact CD image and I'm able to launch the game without issues.

So the problem most likely originates from Daemon Tools.

For your convenience here is the version number I use: 4.48.1.03.47. I've tried searching for this version online, and I couldn't find anything legitimate. If you can find and download it, great stuff.

If anyone has the original DVDs unedited, now would be a good tine to create an actual ISO...

it's not a problem with daemon tools, I've tried even PowerShell to mount it.

the problem is with the iso in some way.

Yeah I might have to use my original disc for that purpose I think...

Hmm going to look into it. I don't know what on earth Microsoft changed but it affected at least two pieces of software (Daemon Tools Lite & WinCDEmu) not just one.

Daemon Tools needs an update anyway, this will be just another task for their team.

I seem to have the same no-CD problem with Windows 10. This is a huge inconvenience. post-13661-1143531603.gif
