Installed but still need disk to load game
Ok I'm a whinner, but why do I need to insert my installation disk to load the TQ game if it is installed already on my PC? Shouldn't I just be able to click on the TQ icon on my desktop and the game load up without having to insert the disk?

Re: Installed but still need disk to load game
First of all you might want smaller text.
 Ok, computers work differently than game consoles. The computer has to read and save data off of the disk, so the disk is needed. I have very rarely seen a game that didn't need the disk, and it was a crappy game. Welcome to the forums!

Re: Installed but still need disk to load game
What?
No, a lot of good games don't require the disk and it has nothing to do with save data. It's all about anti-piracy measures. The game makes sure you own the game by looking that you have the physical disk.

Re: Installed but still need disk to load game
Yep, this is "copy protection" and is fairly standard among PC games, unless you like the more recent DRM of games like Mass Effect. Then again, you could always go with Stardock which has no copy protection on their games whatsoever.

Re: Installed but still need disk to load game
Well some companies like to think that we as gamers like being ****ed up the *** every time we buy one of their games. EA is just about the worst. Stardock's aproach is a million times more reasonable. Anyway I haven't heard yet of a DRM system which has not been defeated.
So more power to Stardock and people like them!

Re: Installed but still need disk to load game
FYI
If you install the Community patch/fix it disables the need for the cd  http://www.titanquest.net/forums/mod...ial-patch.html At least it did for me
