Yes, unfortunately CD cracks border on the line of illegal and this form is all about playing within the confines of the LAW and not breaking Creative Assembly nor this forums Terms of Service. Unless CA themselves release a patch that allows you to play without the CD. But that has yet to happen

Do you need stream if you have the RTW/ BI cd?
And for RS2 to work? I might have to update to wins 10.

You do not need steam if you have the CD versions.
RS2 works perfect on the CD versions.

Dvk says that RS2 does not work with the latest version of RTW from steam.

To sum up what has been said, RS2 (and RTW in general) with CD versions does not work with Windows 10. Rs2 also does not work with a Steam version of RTW\BI. I have gotten 'closer' to isolating the problem....it is an issue with the newer buildings in RS2 and how I\we did them....but the full solution still alludes me. I did get a city to load (finally), by making some rather drastic changes to where files are..but only a few buildings would show up in the settlement. It's going to take me a while to figure out why that's happening, but at least there is a bit of progress there. But, even if I GET RS2 to work with Steam, I will have to completely rework how RS2 works in general....lot of work and time, I'm afraid.

Here you all go.
Official Response from Microsoft.
To sum up the article. The old school DRM that was present in the games of old like Rome total War can introduce loop holes into the computer and make it easier for hacks to happen. Looks like we are screwed

Possible fix to win10 issues with secdrv.sys

[dvk901]

Thanks for the heads-up friend.

Testing Now

Well it did not work for me. I do not know what is going on.
I will post this as a possible fix on the thread.

Sorry it didn't help - I am still waiting for my win10 to start downloading, until then it's only theory I can offer.
