prismtank Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 When I was running emperior, I used the +w thing in the readme file so I could watch the movies. But when I was playing the game started to just do weird things, it first slowed, became choppy and then proceded to read the CD ROM. It did that for about 5 minutes, then the blue 'CD IS NOT IN CRIVE' screen appeared and I kept pressinf enter, but the screen kept appearing! So I gave up and pressed escape, so I was back to the game and it was running perfectly, I won in a few seconds with sardukar destroying the Harkonen. It went to the battle debriefing screen and locked up.I rebooted and tried to play, the CD wouldn ot bedetected, I tried mulitple times and then with other CDs, my CD drive is fried cuz of emperior! DON'T USE THE +W thing!!!Now, hopefully, westwood will help me or send me money or something, I don't know, but for the mean time, my CD rom drive will play somethings.. at 1 speed.I'm not pissed, but I'm very unhappy.

Gobalopper Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 It sounds like your CD drive is the main cause, what type is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cochonou Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 You know, CD-ROM drives have usually quite a short lifespan... most experience read errors after 2 years, and can hardly read anything after 3.5 - 4 years. (I've even had a drive die on me afer just 10 months).It is VERY unlikely that the game or any other application has to do with the death of your drive, even if you hadn't run the game, it would probably have broken at the firstlarge CD to HD file copy anyway.

cochonou Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Oh, by the way, I happen to remember that the drive didn't work any longer than 10 months was indeed a Samsung :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
