03.01.2006, 03:58  DAEMON TOOLS V4.0.3 released!

 

Today we released the new V4.0.3 of both, X64 and X86(32bit)

version of DaemonTools

 

Please check out our download-section

 

This version fixed some small and not so small glitches/bugs

introduced with V4.0.0 (X86) and V4.0.1 (X64)

 

One blacklist fixed (a SF-Game, that behaved odd when running

from virtualdrive)

 

RAID-Bugs fixed, too

Some reboot-problems also fixed

 

Nero-issues also fixed

 

Additional functionality (for X86-version, X64 already contained it since very first version): Disable "Open file handle" dialog, as it seems it annoyed some users.

 

We herewith also confirm the latest blacklist introduced by

Securom (SeriousSam2-patch). This blacklists will not be

possible in future versions anymore (as in old 3.xx-series,

we will add feature to randomly generate names for driver-parts). As we got info about it, we couldn't fix it with

this version, but work is in progress for next release already

 

EDIT: We also offer a bunch of tools especially for new V4, f.e. Anti-Blacklist-Tools, DaemonScript for V4,

Translations and other tools - stay tuned!
