A download version would fix any problems with DRM or patches, but you'd still need to have installed DirectX 9.0c at some point.

"Installing" DirectX 9.0c on Windows 7 does not replace DirectX 11 but adds files it's missing.ĭRM-free versions of Syberia are sold by several online shops, sometimes for as little as $1.99 when there's a sale.

DirectX 11 is not backwards compatible with 9 and earlier.

DirectX 9.0c is backwards compatible and necessary for most adventure games, even some current ones. If this is a computer you've used for older games before, you've probably already installed DirectX 9.0c. Unfortunately the patch may "update" the DRM to a newer version. You can try a NoCD, but the original disc version also needs a patch to take care of problems with hyperthreading that the original version had. I don't know if SafeDisc 2 uses the securom.sys driver that Microsoft blocked from running with Windows update KB3086255. mmm.According to GCW the disc version of Syberia uses SafeDisc 2. ayamiooruri29 - Similar results for me much more important than the running game. Games me do not bring money, but they good consume. I will survive if it does not start the game, but will experience deep disappointment if need for me the program not to start. I'd like to see ROS system for serious people, which helps them in intellectual work. A lot of people playing - the incidence rate. When a person lose a lot of money on entertainment (albeit small portions) he is either sick, or thus trying to avoid any problems. It's one thing when a child plays on the computer, and another thing - grown man. Personally, I grew from the age when games for me what it meant. ReactOS can raise these games from the dead if ReactOS is compatible, we can simply add secdrv.sys allowing them to run. My only way of getting them to work is to download hacked versions or re-buy the games from places like steam. They will also never work in the future as MS will not ship a certified version of secdrv.sys on Win10 or any future version of Windows. Unfortunately, none of my installation discs now work on Windows 10 due to DRM issues, secdrv.sys is no longer present on Win10 and as a result a whole raft of games with DRM do not work. These are not particularly old games, being high resolution and advanced in concept and design. £100 for all the Total War series of games when they originally came out. Games could be the single biggest reason why ReactOS thrives, don't knock games! I am a serious computer user but I also paid approx.
