anyone know of a work around for getting disc games to work on windows ten.  i have an actual disc version of racedriver grid and it will not run on ten, id imagine down to the whole drm thing with 10. iv used a few tricks i saw on a few pages for getting it to work on previous o/s but those were of no help. i emailed codemasters and they basically said buy a digital copy. anyone know of a work around i should not have to line the pokets of people twice for something i already own.

I'm not sure if mentioning a crack for this when you have a physical disc would be considered against the CoC.

Did you use the compatibility setting?

no i dont mean cracking it, yes tried compatibility mode for several version, an yes your version may work being newer, mine is an original disc from when race driver grid was first released (around 2008), i would never use a crack nor mention it. by work around i am referring to how to tell windows to bugger off with disabling the likes of safe disc, which is something windows themselves in the media have said there is a work around but is lengthy. so no people please read what i had said carefully, i don't believe in stealing games that people have worked hard for, whats the point just wait until its on sale, however my gripe here is codemasters are telling me to just but a new copy which does not sit well when i already own it.

to be honest i cant be asked with the hassle and may just buy a digital version later when i buy deadpool.

If you have the game, just get a no-cd fix and be done with it, you're not stealing anything since you already bought the game.

Is not like the multiplayer servers are up, but you could still wait and get it for cheap in a steam sale.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

i tried a no cd patch and that did not work, what i did do is get a new digital copy and had same issue, it worked on other pc but not this one, i did however go into the games folder and on the quick launch icon change the target name by adding "-novirtual on the end and although i cant get it to launch through gog or from desktop i can launch from that quick launch icon, unfortunatly i could not edit the target of the non short-cut icon in game folder, so i have a sort of working version on one pc and a fully working version on main rig
