"Disc authentication failure"

[Vattenlilja]

Okay, I feel like such an idiot for not being able to figure this out on my own. But I can't. So I need help. I've been playing TS3 with the AwesomeMod on Windows XP, no problems. Last night I re-installed the computer, this time I'm on Windows 7. So...

- I install TS3. Everything is fine.
- I download the AwesomeMod and use the AwesomeMod Configuration Tool to get the conf-file.
- I install them using "the Monkey". Everything is NOT fine.
- The DisableCDCheck-option doesn't work, I keep getting the "Disc Authentiication Failure".

I've tried:

- putting the files in the Mods/Packages folder
- putting the files in the Mods/Packages/Hacks folder,
- using only the base mod file without the conf-file.

And while I know this isn't a major problem, 'cause I do have the CD, it's bugging me! I did start the game with the CD and other features of the AwesomeMod seem to be working (at least the NoAdultCASRequirement and the CASSliderScaleIncreased, those were the ones I tried). So... Why isn't this particular part of the mod working? Has this happened to anyone else? Through the search feature on the forum I couldn't find anything about this, so I feel like I'm probably making a total n00b-mistake without realizing it. Help!

Are you using the TS3.exe file or are you loading the game through the launcher? If you are not using the TS3.exe file, you need to be doing that. I'm pretty sure that awesomemod uses it for the no-CD check.

Oh my god I love you! I never thought of that, I feel like an idiot. Thank you!
