How can i get rugby 08 to work on windows 10

[huwy658]

I've played rugby 08 on my windows vista computer before as this was actually the OS when this game came out. I've tried to change the compatibility of the game to run in vista and it's not working. I've tried all the options for windows 10. Can anyone help me? It would be such a shame to not be able to play this brilliant game anymore

Hi,

I believe this game used SafeDisc DRM which is now disabled in Windows 7 (updated) and up.

You may read these articles for some ideas on how to fix it (second one gives some extra ideas):

I haven't done any of these so I don't have a recommendation on which one to suggest.  If you go the route of re-enabling SafeDisc/SecuROM be sure to disable it after you are done as these are security holes.  There is one fix listed in those articles we cannot talk about here at all, it should be obvious why; if you go that route be VERY careful, I would not recommend.

Good luck, be safe.
