Issues unresolved

"Cannot locate the CD-ROM" error after patching the game

After patching the game to the latest official version (v1.13), the game cannot detect the disc, even if it's in the drive. The only "solution" is to use a No-CD patch.

Due to the legality of the patch, PCGamingWiki cannot directly link to any downloads of it.
