Notes

  1. This version of SafeDisc DRM may not work on Windows 10/11[1], including on Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed, if the game relies on the SafeDisc SECDRV.SYS driver.[2]

    Some games protected with SafeDisc v4.60 may not depend on the SECDRV.sys kernel-level driver that Microsoft blocked in 2015, and would therefor continue to function as intended.

    The game only outputs in stereo. I tried using Creative ALchemy, but it crashes when launched. Verified with Orban Loudness Meter, SpiderMan-Friend-or-Foe-Fix for windowed mode, and a 7.1 surround receiver via HDMI on Windows 11 Insider Preview 22635.4367 (ni_release).
