ouch Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Yeah after the whole Bioshock DRM scam I'm a bit scared to even ask... But I also would like to express my sadness for this being the last of the battlecruiser series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weegee_101 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 You mean the BioShock SecuROM copy protection where a bunch of people freaked out because its hiding some registry keys, so they called it a rootkit? It was mislabeled by a couple anti-spyware programs. Its most definitely not a rootkit, as it doesn't satisfy the whole requirement where it gives people root access into your machine. As for UCCE, SC has already said that it'll be using SecuROM in another post. http://www.3000ad.com/forum/index.php?s=&a...st&p=143690 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thats right, SecuROM does NO such thing. And I checked before deciding to use it. It was either that or use Starforce again. And I don't do anything fancy either because it will just screw up the timing and thus the game's AI - which requires real-time processing that is far more sensitive than graphics frame rate updates. All it does is check that you have the DVD-ROM in the drive. Thats it. I have been meaning to change the DRM on the previous games (UCG, UCAWA, UCSE) to SecuRom (they also have an on-line activation), but it costs too much and I can't be bothered. Since this would be only for the BMT Micro and DigitalRiver versions (since Direct2Drive uses their own, based on Macrovision's ActiveMark copy protection), I can't be bothered.

ouch Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 well I was more concerned about the whole limited install and online activation crap. Does UCCE have any of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lljksilk Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Thanks for confirmation. I ended up removing all software that used Starforce not only for concerns technically but because I despise that company's approach to customers. Secu-ROM is all good with me.

Starforce causes my explorer.exe to randomly lock up. I have not had single problem with SC's securom cd checker however. (well, besides the slightly increased time from double click to game menu...)
