You put the cd key in where you usually put in the activation keys for steam

I tried with my CD-Key, Steam does not take, it doesn't recognise it. EDIT: I tried it both with and without "-"'s in the keys.
My blank DVD+R DL discs is arriving later on today, I will try burning the cloned image and see if that'll work.
If it doesn't, I am using No-CD hack, I have absolutely no desire to leave a fragile disc in the drive just for the DRM.

I don't blame you one bit.
When Wolfenstein came out, I was still apprehensive about not owning physical media....
If it was available on Steam, I'd buy it again. Sadly, that is not an option.
(be sure to consult pcgamingwiki to adjust your FOV etc)
EDIT: Honestly though, you should play Singularity instead. BUT, if you've got the "bug" to play this game, do what you've gotta do.
Thanks, I'll check it out later.
and this is why i hate how all multiplayer games does it the console way now. that it is using dedicated servers. cause they are going to shutdown when the money stream is not there.
bring back were i could run a server with the actually games so fun can last forever.

I had so much fun playing through this back in the day, really fun game. I too was lucky enough to nab a Steam copy while they were available. Best of luck to anyone trying to find a copy, definitely worth a look.
Update: using blindwrite to burn a backup do not allow you to run it off a backup, securom window makes it known to you that it knows it's a backup
EDIT: changing to Alcohol 120% now, they have a securom setting for the images, so wish me luck.

No luck unfortunately. Even with 120%'s securom mode, neither mounting the image (via 120%) or burning the disc and reading it directly would make it work. I will tinker with it for a bit more later on (the ripping speed of the dvd is really slow in securom mode, it took 3h to rip the DVD), but for now, my shortterm solution is to use the no-cd crack.
Partially the reason why I always prefered digital, they are not reliant on the machine or the media being usable, just requires you to have a machine, and access to your account.

Game play was good, especially with the veil. Somehow people liked the latest Wolfenstein more. Not me. This one is better in terms of pure run and gun. The Riddick guys are good at making games, just not my type of games.

Singularity is such an abomination. Let's see:
- shameless weapon count limit
- crazy low forced fov
- questionable mouse behaviour due to Unreal engine
- doors shutting behind you as soon as you walk past them on almost every step
I love it even though it is a terrible game in many, many ways. Could've been a great with better execution
One last update: Alcohol 120% image works when MOUNTED using Alcohol 120%, burning it on actual disc didn't work for some reason.
So the result is better than I expected. I no longer have to use no-CD hack for the game now. This is updating the game to 1.2 patch by the way.

Makes me a little sad that I can't purchase this or Prey on Steam (or seemingly anywhere). I had thought about tracking down a physical copy of Wolf 2009 but it sucks to know that it won't activate on Steam using the key.
I've tried locating a giftable, previously-purchased Steam copy of the game that someone might be willing to trade but the things are like unicorns and trust me when I tell you that people know the game isn't available anymore.
One can only hope that it pops up again one day like System Shock 2 did...never thought that would happen but I'm sure the cult demanding the return of that game was stronger than the one for what many consider the black sheep of the Wolfenstein series.

Yeah, the only cult as strong or stronger than the Cult of Shodan
is the Cult of Lord British. hehehe It's funny (well more sad really) that games like this, or Prey don't sell well when they come out, and then later after everyone realizes that the people that did buy had a blast, they wish they had. Only to find out that it's too late. I get why people are a bit stand-offish when it comes to buying games. A lot of us have been burned in the past, and many have been burned by a high profile game that was supposed to be the next coming of Microsoft Bob but I think the other side is that people who are so afraid to spend a little cash on a game now, end up missing some good ones. I guess some of the time is that people fear change. Wolf'09 was a bit different than what came before it. It had a bit of what is now an acceptable level of console influence. I'm pretty sure it's because of these things it didn't sell on the platform that it should have sold very well on. Now, looking back, a lot of people are willing to let some of that go, and acknowledge that it really was a good game despite some of those things. Sad that it's difficult to get now.twonunpackmule

It's questionable...but, you could purchase Prey (2006) from here.

That was an awesome fucking game that I didn't play nearly enough. Was it ever sold digitally? I still have my boxed copy of the limited edition lying around.
(Not my pics. My box is in pristine condition
.)
Ah, found it. It was on Steam. AppID 10000
.https://steamcommunity.com/app/10000
Amazon has several copies available for sale.

The very reasos to use other formats than iso is to beat copy protections. There are plenty of copy protected games out ther ethat would not work from an iso but from a cloneCD image or nero image because these image formats contains more information about the media.

i tottaky forgot we are talking dvd and not cd

This is probably the only team-based tactical shooter that I've ever really enjoyed! I still toss it on once in a while, and interestingly enough I was able to find a few good games going last time I did (about a year ago).
DVDs and CDs are not so different when it comes to this. I had to use Alcohol 120% to beat the copyright, the software has built in settings for reading copyright material.
Strangely, the mounted image works, the burnt DVD didn't, but I could have screwed up somewhere.
I would have to disagree (vwell slightly)/ iso image on CD are very different than a raw image due to cooked and uncooked sectors and sub channels
Alcohol (mdf/mds) does contain a little more info than just the bare iso information on DVD. But with a CD we have several different "layers" of how much data images contains
ISO - only file levels data (aka smal lsecotr information and no audio tracks)
NRG & cue/bin was raw sectore reader
CCD raw sectors + sbu channels
MDS/MDF raw sector + subchannesl as well as some timmings information
En dvd we pretty much just have 2 ( as far as i remember) iso and mdf/mds
But when dvd came out i didnt realyl go that much into copy protection scheme anymore as online services followed fast after
This is also why compression techniques that removes correct ECC codes (like ecm does) works on CD images but not on DVD images.

https://www.kinguin.net/category/14608/prey-2006-steam-cd-key/[/QUOTE]I think a friend bought a Windows 10 key there in the past and hasn't had any trouble, so I bought the Prey 2006 key since I pirated the game back then, it activated on Steam and I was able to launch it, but the game hates my audio configuration, so I can only get stereo sound. I don't intend to replay the game, but the key I got appears to be good.
P.S. I haven't read this thread thoroughly, but I also have an Alcohol 120% disc image of Wolfenstein 2009 and had used it within the past 3-5 years, likely by mounting it with Alcohol 120%; I think that's the only way to go.
Edit: Had a power outage while initially creating this response, something got duplicated, I tried to edit it, I fudged the post. /story

This thread inspired me to get off my ass and hunt down a copy. Got a brand spanking new one still in the original shrinkwrap. Will post pics when I get home. Still trying to hunt down a copy of Prey that isn't $200, though.
Seller on Amazon has a copy of Prey listed as New for $128. Should I go for it? 92% rating over the past 12 months, though...

This is big money for this game.
92 percent rating in 12 months... see what the complaints are in the feedback specifically. If your BS meter goes off then trust it.

The original Prey is an excellent game. Ahead of its time in a lot of ways. I wouldn't personally pay $128 for it though. There has to be a way to find it for less. Man, I'd just give you a key if I still had some. I bought a bunch and gave them to my friends when it first went on sale for $5 on Steam. I know half the people I gave the key to probably didn't even play it. I wish I could revoke them. hehehe
Well, it looks like you can get a voucher for around $20. I saw one with 100% positive feedback. Might be a good way to go, unless you're into collecting to collect.
