Same problem for me, vista ultimate 32bit. On the disc case it says "this game contains technology to prevent copying that may conflict with some disc and virtual drives". Translated our anti piracy system is rubbish and may prevent you playing the game! I'm guessing thats what we are falling foul of, even though we just installed it off the disk five seconds earlier!

I used a no cd hack to get around the problem, then ran the game using AssassinsCreed_Game.exe. Seems to solve the issue at least I can start the game and it gets me going till ubisoft release a patch for there cruddy copy protection.

I had the same problem using a brand new (read fast and quiet) LG SATA DVD-drive.

Then from the Rainbow-Six forum, someone suggested trying an IDE DVD-drive, so I threw the game disc in my old clunker jet-engine-sound HP DVD-ROM drive (IDE) and low and behold the game fired right up! Sheesh.

I had to deal with this same retarded BS, and I got it working. I have a brand new ASUS DVD-RW (SATA) drive and an old Kenwood CD-ROM (IDE) installed in my case. The CD-rom is mapped to G: and the DVD-RW is mapped to E: I keep the cd-rom around because it rips songs into Itunes faster than the DVD-RW drive.


The clue for me was a post somewhere that said unhooking their IDE drive fixed this. At first I just tried disabling the drive in device manager and that didn't help. Then I decided to run process monitor from Sysinternals.

Here is the filtered output... WTF Ubi, why are you accessing the cd-rom @ G:??? I didn't install the game from there, as if it would even be possible.

And oh yeah, they access the hell out of the DVD rom at E: as well, but when they try and go to G: is when the wheels fall off.

So the fix ended up being to completely disconnect the CD-Rom so the hardware was completely unavailable to scan. Which is BS IMHO.

If it's helpful, I got mine to work by disabling my virtual drive in a demo version of UltraISO.

I agree. It's unacceptable that such an obvious bug will be completely ignored by Ubisoft.

On a side note, I was horrified to know that Rainbow Six Vegas 2 wouldn't install SATA DVD drives. I'm lucky, ironically, that I'm running on old-tech IDE DVD-/+ RW by Lite-On.

  • Even for a flop on pc i got to admit that the vision of the artist(s) for Vegas is beyond speech. What i am seeing in game now is by far the best i have seen in any other game for realism. (coding) was the problem.
  • For a community that had potential to help YOU(UBI) they are the ones lurking in the shadows waiting for something better and you refuse to help. Even yourself.? This I don't understand.
  • Release some tools to the pc community for an over all better RaInbow 6 division.
