I have a game, yet it doesn't work, can I download it for free?
I bought the disk copy of Command and Conquer Generals, and now, for some reason, it says;

Am I able to download it from the website for free? Or, if you know a way to fix this, please, reply!
@Damushroom99 Ah, that...
It's related to Microsoft decommissioning the Safedisc/SecuRom system. It affects a ton of games. Easiest way around it is probably just googling a no-cd crack.
On Windows 10 the related driver is actually missing from the system. If you're on an earlier version, there are some ways to re-enable the affected driver. I suggest you google around for that a bit, or search here on the forum; I know it's been discussed before.
Kind of silly to have to suggest no-cd cracks on the official forums, but since Generals only exists on Origin as part of the full Ultimate Collection pack, and there's no one employed at EA for maintaining the C&C games that could do any kind of fix for this, there really isn't much choice. Well, except of course buying said collection.
