I recently bought a disc for 300 rubles from "1C". Here's what happens: I insert the disc into the drive, it makes a characteristic clicking sound, and nothing happens. I started checking the drive, thinking it might be broken, but everything is fine; it reads other discs normally!:smile05: This is a complete disaster. Please help! I don't know what to do! Bye!

Well, if you bought the disc from "1C", go ahead and return it (within the 14-day return policy). But if the 14 days have passed or you've lost the receipt, then please describe in more detail what's happening.

inserted the disc into the drive ----> a window appears with the following options: install the game, user manual, read the readme file. I click "install game" ----> nothing happens (I disabled Kaspersky, but it didn't help). And I've been struggling with it for two days now. Nothing helps!!!! OS Windows XP PROFESSIONAL SP2. Please help me!!!!

What game is it? On the disc, on the back, or in the readme file, there should be the address of 1C's technical support. Write to them with a description of the problem and the exact specifications of your system; they should be able to help.
Can you simply copy files from the disc? Because, as I understand it, the disc is displayed, but the .exe file doesn't work. Do other files (usually DirectX or Adobe) install?
Is the disc a DVD or a CD?
In general, please provide a little more information, and we'll try to help...

P.S.

It's a shame that our forum rarely offers helpful advice.

The game is a licensed copy!!! FROM BUKI!!! I contacted technical support, and they said I need to update the drivers for the motherboard xD. But that didn't help. I installed the drivers for the video card, but it was all in vain.:eek:

The game is licensed!!! FROM THE BOOKSTORE!!!

Please make up your mind, sir... And finally, tell me the name of the game. Also, you haven't answered any of my questions... So, I can't help you yet.

Your disc is ripped... go exchange it.

Hi, there's a problem in the game.
New game - AI works, but when you load saves into a reinstalled game, it doesn't work. HOW DO I ENABLE IT?:smile45: :smile45:

Уже новобранец-подмастерье клана "E pluribus unum"
Проснется ворон молодой
и, глаз уставив золотой,
в оконное стекло подышит
и, разорив свое крыло,
достанет вечное перо
и что-то вечное напишет.

I'm having a problem too... and I didn't have this issue before.
I have a licensed copy of the game, and everything was working fine. I played it on my brother's computer first, and it worked, then on my sister's computer... but when I install it on my own computer, it won't install:confused: It says something like "error in data," here's a screenshot.

I tried turning off the antivirus, but it didn't help... Can you please tell me what to do? I really love this game:(

This error may occur because the disc is damaged (scratched) or dirty. You can try wiping it, but it is unlikely to yield significant results. As a rule, some drives may be able to read the disc, while others may not, depending on the quality of the drive. As a solution, you can use a program for copying data from damaged media, such as Recovery Toolbox for CD (CDRecovery). This will allow you to copy the installer from the DVD and install the game from the hard drive.

Thank you very much for the advice. It's most likely that the disc is damaged, but I'll try what you suggested.

Guys, please help! I've been searching through forums for two days now, and I can't figure out how to fix this error in the game. In Dark Messiah, the game runs fine in single-player mode, but I can't get into multiplayer. I get this error message:
