    (i hope my new account doesn't get frozen over this)

    i have recently downloaded the addons for Spellforce: The Order of Dawn. i can install them just fine using daemon tools pro but cannot play them. i get messages saying to use the original disk instead of a backup. what, if anything, can i do to play the addons?

    Problem is there are protections on the disc,

    Obviously your COPY will install the game BUT not run it,
    Because the game checks the authenticity of the disc,
    Before the game will run,
    A run of a r'ay -scanner' on the original can and will determine
    the protections on the disc.
    You can then re-rip and re-burn using the protection settings detected,
    Under Alcohol 120% to burn selecing the noted protections.

    But your game is downloaded , and you dont have the original,
    And the game knows it , and wont start the game up because of it.


    Buy the addons,
    It will work just fine.

    I hadn't ever played Spellforce but really enjoyed Spellforce 2, so I got the platinum edition which contains both addons a couple months ago for $10 on Amazon. At that price it's hardly worth the effort trying to get your downloaded copy to work.
