Dawn Of War Not Working

[techoville]

Hi, I'm new here but I'll go straight to the point.

I just downloaded Dawn Of War. Everything was going ok until I tried getting onto the game... I pressed play game and it came up with the loading disc cursor and an error message came up saying "Disc could not authenticate in time" and I waited about 30-45 seconds until the error message came up.

Please help me. I've tried multiple times but the error messages still come up.

Did you say "downloaded"?

I meant off the Dawn Of War CD... Sorry. I used all 3 discs and entered the CD key.

I had that problem. Twice, every time I installed the game. I get a message from DoW to go to securom.com/copy for help. I got through it twice by mailing them about it. They sent a link to a patch. Now it works OK

The copy thing didn't work but here's my error message

Hopefully this might help

Yeah. It's the same I got. I got both that and securom. Then I mailed them with the message along the lines of: I get this error message, directs to your site, site doesn't help. I also sent them a file, it was a while ago, though so I don't remember. It's on the site, I recall.

WHEN POSTING A NEW THREAD POST YOUR warnings.log AND dxdiag.txt! (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=57900). (Ok, you probably won't have a warnings.log if the game hasn't run yet). Also check that you're using the correct disk and that it's not damaged and/or doesn't have any scratches.

Edit: actually, you just need to update the game to v1.5. Then you won't need the disk...
