  1. Thank you. This worked for me. My version status when it boots up clearly reads "June 24 2004" now which means it is using the 1.1 fixes. (I might've still had the d3d fix sitting in the directory. Maybe that file is redundant even now. But it all seems to load and work so I guess I'll just leave as is.) Thank you for such a quick response. And thank you for restoring one of my games to playability for me
  2. I posted to a similar thread, but this one is a bit 'fresher.' I am running into the same issue with v1.1 of Sentinels on a Windows 7 64 system. I have had it for ages as part of the UK Gold Edition. I can get v1.0 of Sentinels (the on disc version) to run perfectly with the d3d fix from this site. (Thank you, thank you). The problem arises when I install the 1.1 patch. I think it must make a change to the DRM, because after the 1.1 fix, the disc will spin up.. but then nothing launches. I wonder if the 1.1 patch was intended for the Sentinels disc included in the Gold version... or, if it is looking for a different disc signature from the individual release of Sentinels. I saw the French Gold Bundle version of Sentinels has its own patch.. and that is why I wonder. I can play v1.0 of Sentinels just fine I guess, but it just makes me a bit of a sad camper to think that I cant take advantage of the 1.1 fixes. Not even sure if the out of the box Sentinels could be finished / enjoyed to the same degree as the patched up version.
  3. Thank you for figuring this out and sharing! This worked wonderfully to make Silent Storm v1.2 playable again on my Windows 7 64 system. It's too bad the resolutions don't go as high as they could in Sentinels, but with AA and filtering it doesnt really matter. This is such a great thing to have figured out. Thanks again.
  4. I know this is an old thread. I have the same issue. I have Sentinels as part of the UK Gold version. Using the wonderful d3d fix from this site it loads perfectly as v1.0 in Windows 7 64. When patched to v1.1 (with same d3d fix) the disc spins up.. but then.. nothing at all. I am guessing the v1.1 patch introduces a DRM incompatibility . I wonder if the disc 'signature' for the Gold version of Sentinels may be different from the individual Sentinels disc that was released. One 'hint' that this might be the case is that I see the French version of Gold Sentinels has its own distinct patch. There is none for the English version. Not sure if anyone else ran into this or might know of an additional fix. Maybe someday Silent Storm and Sentinels may show up on GoG.. and address these little modern incompatibilities. My impression is that Silent Storm is the better game, so I am thankful to have it working on my Windows 7 machine again. Still, I never did finish Sentinels and it is frustrating that while v1.0 will work, I'd have to forgo any fixes of v1.1. I wonder if Sentinels is complete-able (and enjoyable)' as is with v1.0.
