Please help. My disc is broken. I can't play, but I really want to. How can I disable disc verification?

Well, if it only checks for the presence of the disc, then maybe you can create an image of it. I'm not sure, though; I'm not very good with computers...

Whatever

Which disc is broken? The one with the expansion pack or the original game?

What a Barbarian... to break both discs... Mine still work, but the computer only runs them when the original game disc is in. I wonder if it would work the other way around?

You can download the image from somewhere. You can also try contacting the publisher's technical support (or Ubisoft's), as they might be willing to provide the disk image to their affected user if they provide their Ubisoft server key.

I won't be able to download it, especially files that are 2 gigabytes in size, as my internet connection doesn't allow it.

What exactly happened to the disc? Was it just scratched, or is it completely damaged?

Is your game patched? As far as I know, patches 1.5 and 3.1 remove the disk check. At least, it stopped asking me after I installed them (I downloaded the patches from HeroesWorld).

Original - 1.6
Software - 3.0 (I stupidly deleted the Nival version and installed some random one that can't be patched.)

If the disc is scratched, there are programs that can recover data from such discs. In your case, you don't need to recover all the data, but rather some specific files that it's looking for; I don't remember which ones. Recover the data, create an image, and that's it; no problems.
Winner, I have a disc check feature in version 3.1, unfortunately. It might be related to the Bukovskaya version, but it's worth checking.

The computer simply can't find the disk.
