Hello all,
I recently upgraded to a Windows 10 laptop, but I had to get an external DVD drive. It's an alienware and they don't offer a disc drive anymore for some reason.
Anyway, I installed AoP2 CoAS, but I have to install Tages in order to play it. My problem is that I can't take this external drive with me everywhere and risk damaging my original disc. I tried searching the forums, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for other than offers for a PM. I was wondering if GoF, or any other mods made it possible to play without the disc? A handful of older games' companies have been releasing a no cd patch, such as Halo, and I was wondering if it was the case for this game. From what I could find it seems this game has been mostly abandoned since its release, which is an absolute shame. I tried to get the no cd from gamecopyworld, but every no cd I find is flagged as a Trojan and blocked by windows defender. I know this is a taboo topic in most forums and apologize if I've crossed the line, but I do own a legitimate copy of the game and am trying to preserve it. Especially considering how difficult it is to obtain. I would be willing to take a photo of my game disc or anything else to prove my intentions if needed.
I started with the original 2003 PoTC, and got this a few years ago. I recently purchased AoP: Caribbean Tales from GoG, but it's confusing if that is the same game as Sea Dogs 2, and if PoTC is considered AoP 1? I downloaded the Historical Immersion Supermod and was wondering if it's anything near PoTC with the build mods, or AoP2 with GoF? I had such a great time with the original PoTC and the build mod, especially making my fleet with the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman... great times.
If anyone has any information or suggestions I would really appreciate it!
