The need for the CD in the drive to be removed by HPS!

Gents,
It has been announced by Rich H over at his Game Squad blog that HPS will be phasing out the need for the game CD to be located in your PC's drive to play any HPS title! Big Grin

You can read his post here Rich H Blog as this process will take some time to update all of the 65+ HPS titles his post also gives you the method to create a "magic disk" to allow you to open any HPS title without having to keep replacing the disk in your PC's drive. :)

I am sure that will make some of you very happy........

Unfortunately it can delay the release of new games.....

And you know this because you are working at HPS?

I do not see this interfering at all with new game releases since the process for releasing new titles is very different than the one for releasing patches to existing games.

Nope, simply that i'm too pessimistic....

Erm..... I've had a 'master' cd for a couple of years now which runs all my HPS games off of one disk. Thought it was common knowledge that you could do this, although perhaps not all games were supported and I've just been lucky mine were?

What I'm looking for is a way so that I don't create any wear and tear on my cd drive when I'm playing- ie: I don't need any cd in my drive at all.

I would say your request has been answered. Keep an eye here as HPS rolls out this change.
