Ok.. so finally this is no longer an issue since a working patch is out and confirmed by numerous sources.

Guess you think its okay to sell a product to a customer who then cant get it running because the copy protection thinks they have a stolen copy. Only then, the publisher and copy protection company...

Using this crack will be no different than ordering a spare part from a junk yard because the dealer sold you a car with a broken fuel pump, and then refused to fix it or give you a refund.

Its...

Amen.

Except for the part about cracks.. installing a crack on software that you own is perfectly legitimate.

"the revoke utility is another problem. Imagine a day, when all games use this method. Before formatting windows, you'll have to unregister every single game on your hard-drive. 40-50 legitimate...

Oh that's just great.. analysis file.. what 'analysis' do they do of my system? Oh I'm sorry, they can't tell you that. WTF. What ever happened to a simple disc in drive check. Sigh.. Yet again we...

We shouldn't have to rely on a jury rigged, dangerous (for the common user) set of procedures to remove a product THAT 2K INSTALLED.

They hid the true nature of this secureROM version, and then...

Has there actually been a 2k response to the DRM outcry?

I didn't have time to read the 200,000 posts in these forums to try to find an offical comment.

Does anyone know if they released a...

Has anyone seen any comment from 2k in response to the copy protection?

You know why ?? Cuz most of us arent buying it because of the DRM, rootkit, activation BS..

That scandal has hit every major website at the moment without a single media source saying that its ok...

Welcome to the club.

I can't even live with calling to reactivate. Its a complete waste of my time and if ALL (or even a majority) of software companies adopted this strategy, then upgrading my system would become a...

"As it stands now, this system is worse than Starforce, Steam, or any other copy protection system we’ve seen. The SecuROM servers aren’t reliable at the moment, and the two activations limit imposed...

** EXACTLY ** I wish people would wisen up so that we don't have to go over this point over and over

Sorry to hear that :( Welcome to what a lot of people have been experiencing.

The only way to really handle this is to get a phone number for 2k or irrational games (USA 617-657-0799 ) and...

Won't buy it until a patch to remove this crap shows up.. I personally dont care if I never play it if the patch never shows up. Crysis and GTA4 are coming out in a few anyway.

LCD = noob

Don't worry about him. He has probably owned a computer only a couple years and its probably a ☺☺☺☺ty Dell.

Also, don't forget that we can run ANY resolution WITHOUT interpolating pixels or other...

Are you kidding me? You are suggesting he wipe his entire system, remove all his programs, and install only the game JUST to play it?! When did we transport ourselves to la la land ? I assume you...

Misspelled a lot of things.. I couldn't (sic) the whole thing so I just copied and pasted.

Such a noob understanding of the situation. Go back to your Dell.

The important part of your statement which you glossed over is SecureROM 7.(wait for it)x ! Different 'x' s represent different...

LOLZ ! Owned !

I just got this rather apologetic email from secureROM:

Attn, Honourable Customer.

I am Shamsuddeen Usman new Minister of Quality Assurance at SecureROM and I was instructed by His Excelency...

Just curious why the box didn't specify that you could only perform a limited number of installations ? So we could make a decision prior to purchasing the product.

Or why it wasn't stated in...

Exactly correct.

And the other fact that everyone is overlooking, is that 2k hid the fact that you were only allowed limited installs and that it installed rootkit-like SecureROM (for those that...
