HaraSwift Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 So, I found a full copy of Lego Drome Racers, installed it on my system (Win10), and it won't launch at all. The entire internet seems to think I'm talking about the original Lego Racers; but you guys actually know this game exists? The one bit I've heard (Off topic on a steam search) says you have to EXE edit it to launch. I have no idea how to do this; or if that's even fully the case. I've banged around a bit with compatibility settings but it won't even start the EXE. Anyone know how to fix it to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 You might have the DRM version (see here to know). I recall being unable to get that version to work on modern systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I think I remember having to re-enable the secdrv service on Windows 7 (I think for Drome Racers? Definitely some LEGO games from around the era), but it seems that's no longer an option on W10... Welp. https://www.howtogeek.com/230773/how-to-play-pc-games-that-require-safedisc-or-securom-drm-on-windows-10-8.1-8-7-and-vista/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinifigRenderer Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think I got my version working on W10 using compatibility settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire internet seems to think I'm talking about the original Lego Racers; but you guys actually know this game exists? This is because Lego Racers, by and large, is a much better game than Drome Racers in almost every respect. Drome Racers wins out in its sheer atrociously bad gameplay, the like of which is not to be found in Lego Racers The one bit I've heard (Off topic on a steam search) says you have to EXE edit it to launch. I have no idea how to do this; or if that's even fully the case. I've banged around a bit with compatibility settings but it won't even start the EXE. Anyone know how to fix it to run? We have a diskless patch for Lego Racers 2 but unfortunately no diskless patch for Drome Racers - the reason I mention that is that the two games are by the same developer and use the same sort of file stuff. There are two versions of Drome Racers, one that always requires the disk to run and one... that doesn't. Check which one you have by referring to this topic; you should be able to check by date modified. If you require the disk to run you're basically out of luck, although you can re-enable it by following this tutorial... I think. Beyond that, compatibility settings, admin rights and the lot should get it to run...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandboxer Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I found a loophole! Using this NoCD Patch will help you run the game, because the outdated DRM does not stay in this executable! https://drive.google.com/file/d/15tmaDtMu6TQRyllCy_VYYnDm5vY1c22f/view?usp=sharing I DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY, SO PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS LINK TO PIRATE THE GAME!
