After a couple days of not playing SC4 I decided to start it up again. It gets to the splash screen and...nothing. The disc is not being read and there is no error at all.
I restarted the computer, hoping it would work. Nothing. I uninstalled then reinstalled the game, still nothing. I deleted all my plugins. Even still nothing.
This is really pissing me off. The game worked before but now it isn't. I need a solution to this.
Help?
PS: I'm running Windows XP Professional with 1918Mb of RAM, with a 150Gb hard drive, ATI Radeon X1150 graphics card. Obviously everything's fine and dandy if the game could run on my computer before. Dunno if that helps.

If worse comes to worse, the game is available on Steam.
I already have that. Nothing seems to work.
I hit a dead end apparently. :frown:
Double post? Sorry if it is.
I have an update: After I click on the launcher for SC4, the disc drive light is green for when the disc is running but after the splash screen disappears, the light turns off and the dis ceases to run. This is the only disc that has this problem; any other disc will run correctly.
Now what the fuck is this shit? I overlooked this tidbit, I apologize.

Well, that's what is supposed to happen. The game runs entirely off your hard drive. It only checks to see if you have the CD for copy protection reasons.
The game doesn't work though. It worked fine before. This is pretty damn annoying and a bit urgent too.
Anyone else want to take a shot at it?
Download a No-CD crack. It should be legal because you have alaready bought the game.

You should download one anyway because having the disk in slows down the loading by A LOT.

How so? Simcity doesn't use the CD drive during the game.

It re-does the CD-check every time it loads the assets from a different archive file for some odd reason. I've used Procmon & that's exactly what happens.

Well, I suppose it really doesn't matter in the end. Having no-CD is infinitely more convenient.
