Issues unresolved

"Access Denied - Please login with administrator privileges and try again" error on launch (Windows 10)

The retail version does not work on Windows 10 due to SafeDisc support being discontinued.

Issues fixed

"Access Denied - Please login with administrator privileges and try again" error on launch

The SecDrv.Sys driver required by SafeDisc is not running. SecDrv.sys has been disabled by a hotfix. Refer to kb3086255 for workaround details (this does not work for Windows 10).
