    hi guys i think i found a sollution:

    How to fix the “DiscSoftLTD not allowed with the game (84)” error:

    Step 1: Open Command Prompt as Administrator  
    Press Windows key, type "cmd", then right-click and select "Run as administrator".

    Step 2: Type this command and press Enter:  
    sc query type= driver

    Step 3: Look for drivers related to virtual drives or Daemon Tools (e.g., dtsoftbus01).

    Step 4: To delete the driver, type this (replace driver_name):  
    sc delete driver_name  
    Example: sc delete dtsoftbus01

    Step 5: Restart your PC.

    Step 6: Launch the game again – it should work now.

    Do u have Windows 11 or 10? And which Update do u have?

  • I tried everything: installing and uninstalling daemon tools, searching for files and drivers... finally after 3 days of despair I reinstalled windows. Now it works. 😭
