Unable to launch the game(Stealth Inc2: A Game of Clones). Whenever I try to launch the game, I am getting the above error. I even tried to reinstall it but couldn't solve it. Does anybody have similar issues? I am on Windows 10. Thanks in advance.

An addon file to restore back SafeDisc function to Windows 10.
Download this file Extract to a temporary location on the system. Copy secdrv.sys to %WINDIR%\system32\drivers. Import secdrv.reg to Windows registry. As the service may still not work due to lack of a digital signature , refer to these instructions to disable driver signature verification in the operating system and sign the driver with a custom digital signature.

Hello everyone, I would like to clarify why my editing in the article on sound is constantly canceled?
https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Sound
Here is the evidence on the pictures below about the difference in sound on the spectrograms.
As you can probably notice, that on Windows 10 samples are more identical to the original, rather than on Windows 7.
Used materials in this tests
Source sound
Windows 10 on Realtek
Windows 10 on Creative G1
Windows 7 on Realtek
Windows 7 on Creative G1
The peculiarity of this behavior in terms of sound in Windows 7 was caused by the introduction of DRM at the development stage of Windows Vista, which is also easily confirmed by reading the development literature.
To carry out this test, recording through the line input via the built-in sound card with the help of Audacity was used and then the results were transferred to the schedule through the Spek.
The conditions were the same (Volume 80% output and input) and the same player Foobar2000 on default settings (no asio/openal and ks with wasapi exclusive for output) was used.
For very talented people, I note that the sound system has remained the same since Windows Vista, but has been significantly reworked: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/windows-10-has-better-sound-quality-than-windows-7-on-my-computer-not-necessarily-yours.789224/
Especially it is important for the old and not-so games that use DirectSound.
And for those who like to listen to music, and especially in a high quality, because windose 10 does not force you to use all sorts of workarounds crutches mentioned above.

Hello!
Since I'm using Windows 10 I am not able to run one of my old games that is SafeDisc protected DRM. I was thinking that I maybe could make a virtual copy of the game and then be able to run the game. At first I was thinking using Alcohol 120 but I read that someone got a virus from downloading it so I'm not sure about downloading it. I was then thinking of daemon tools which seems safer. Does any of you have any experince with copying a SafeDisc game? Or know how to run SafeDisc game on Windows 10?
Thank you in advance!

IMPORTANT
Since game version v1.09 this fix is no longer needed, because the game received an official option to enable XInput support.
If you are interested in using PS4 button prompts, you can find a corresponding option in the most recent version of the PRIC mod.
---
TL;DR
This fix resolves controller issues in Prey that were introduced with patch v1.05, by forcing the game to use XInput instead of the Steam Controller API by Valve.
Quick start guide:
Open the archive and choose the button prompts you want to use by opening the corresponding folder
Extract the file dinput8.dll to the release sub-folder of Prey. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Prey\Binaries\Danielle\x64\Release\"
Start the game like you would normally, for example directly through Steam or Big Picture mode
Important: If the fix does not work, make sure that you have turned off the usage of the Steam Controller API (see below)
Features
While Prey originally offered good controller support, patch v1.05 introduced various issues. Instead of choosing either XInput or the Steam Controller API based on the user settings, the game always uses the latter. This results in problems with the movement as well as certain controller settings or the controller not working at all if the user has disabled the usage of the Steam Controller API in game's properties in Steam.
This fix re-enables XInput support and forces the game to use it, regardless of the settings.
Instructions
Supported Versions
This fix is designed for the latest, fully patched version of Prey and the Mooncrash DLC and might not work when used with older or otherwise modified executables.
Steam v1.08
Note that the fix currently does not work with the demo version of the game.
Install
The fix does not make any permanent changes to the game or to Windows and can easily be removed.
Important: When using a non-XInput controller such as the DS4, you will need a XInput emulator like DS4Windows for this fix to work
Open the archive and choose the button prompts you want to use by opening the corresponding folder
Extract the file dinput8.dll to the release sub-folder of Prey. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Prey\Binaries\Danielle\x64\Release\"
Start the game like you would normally, for example directly through Steam or Big Picture mode
Important: If the fix does not work, make sure that you have turned off the usage of the Steam Controller API (see below)
Although the fix forces the game to use XInput, it is necessary to disable the usage of the Steam Controller API in the game's settings.
The safest way to do this is the following:
In the Steam client go to the menu Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings
Make sure PS4/XBox Configuration Support is checked
Go to Big Picture mode and find Prey in you library
Click Mange Game -> Controller Options and uncheck Use Steam Configuration for Non-Steam Controllers
Uncheck the setting from step 1 again, depending on whether it was checked in the first place
Uninstall
Remove or rename the dinput8.dll from the folder of the game.
Known Issues
There are currently no known issues with using the fix.
Additional Information
Antivirus Software
Since this fix consists of an executable DLL file that uses "hacking techniques" such as injection and hooking, it could be classified as malicious by antivirus software. In that case, it might be necessary to add an exception rule to the scanner.
If you lack the trust in random people on the internet -- and I would not blame you -- feel free to use a meta online virus scanner like VirusTotal to verify the file.
Loading Other Fixes/Mods/Injectors
To increase the compatibility with other mods or injectors that are using a wrapper DLL, this fix offers two methods for remote loading of additional files. Note that there might still be compatibility issues between the different fixes, mods or injectors that have nothing to do with the loading process.
File method:
The fix will load another dinput8.dll automatically if it has the name dinput8_Remote.dll. Just rename the DLL you want to load accordingly. Using this method will lead to an error if the renamed DLL is not itself a dinput8.dll.
Folder method:
The fix will also automatically load all DLLs regardless of their names in a dinput8_Remote sub-directory. Just create a corresponding folder in the install directory of the fix. This is the only way to load multiple (conflicting) files.
