Hi thanks for the replies. 1. No I have no games that use Starforce nor have i ever heard of it :0 2. If it was a problem with the drive why would i work sometimes and not others? 3. The whole oc is only about 1 year old, so the drive itself is not that old. 4. Yes it's the only drive in my system never seen the need for more than 1. I've seen other people mention this could be an issue to do with SecuROM that sometimes stops the drive detecting the disk but I have never had a game with this backward sort of protection before. Surely it woul dbe easier to get owners of the game to register their cd key to an account to verify ownership that way. Then you just have to login to play, seems to work for many other games including mmo's.

When I first got the game and put the disk in I found that my computer refused to recognise that a disk was actually in the drive. After a frustrating hour or so of trying various things from drivers for my drive to checking I had no image mounting software installed or running imaged drives I decided to just try it again and for some unknown reason it worked and disk recognised I managed to install the game. Now I've been playing the game over the last few days but I still have this issue where the disk is not recognised and have to keep ejecting and loading the disk repeatedly until it is recognised to be able to play. This is getting rather labourious and most annoying when I just want to play a game. My drive is a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-215 ATA. Anyone have any suggestions or had similar issues?

No I haven't got an mods on just the english version of the game.

A friend and myself were trying to start a coop for the first time and after the cutscenes and the speech on the ship we go into the briefing room and the speech finishes we should then be taken to the briefing but the screen just goes black and we can still move around but no loading occurs. We have played multiplayer games on other servers and have even hosted our own multiplayer games without issue. Only the coop seems to give the black screen so far. I searched for other threads on this topic but so far not found any useful information to resolve the issue. Does anyone know of a way to resolve this or is it just a bug we eed a patch for? There seems to be a few bugs that people are experiencing just hope they can be resolved as this game could be very god with a bit of tweeking.
