I'm still on P4 3gig and a 7800 AGP card. There is not really any point in upgrades so I'll be saving for a new Rig once the wife goes back to work Untill then I can't really afford a new rig.

Publisher Ubisoft has confirmed that the PC its open-world shooter Far Cry 2, which hits alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions on October 21, will use a slightly different configuration of the SecuROM DRM technology found in Spore and Crysis Warhead.

Ubisoft forum manager bukowski113 posted the deatils on the game's official forum:

    * You have 5 activations on 3 separate PCs.
 * Uninstalling the game "refunds" an activation. This process is called "revoke", so as long as you complete proper uninstall you will be able to install the game an unlimited number of times on 3 systems.
    * You can upgrade your computer as many time as you want (using our revoke system)
    * Ubisoft is committed to the support of our games, and additional activations can be provided.
    * Ubisoft is committed to the long term support of our games: you'll always be able to play Far Cry 2.


Upon Spore's release, the game's DRM generated a fair amount of controversy, to the point where someone filed a class action lawsuit against publisher EA.

EA CEO John Ricitiello recently spoke out on the subject, admitting that while he doesn't personally like DRM, it is needed to fight piracy and is "something that 99.8 percent of users wouldn't notice."

Seems fair to me to be honest, just make sure you uninstall correctly if you need to install so often, which I doubt most people will need to do.

Will probably get this game sometime, should be interesting.

The issue is less the uninstall/reinstall, which I also have little problem with. It's the DRM they use to enforce that, which causes a lot of people no end of problems as it inserts itself between DVD Drive and OS and acts very much like malware, so if there's anything it doesn't like (say an incompatible/unknown DVD drive) your DVD drive stops working, and in some cases it causes bluescreens and other issues instead.

My PC gives me bluescreens on this piece of pooha programming, it will casue the vidcard to sieze up at some point. Shame really, its a good game and id love to play it.

Ah of course, :doh: shame really. :sad:

IIRC correctly, the spore installation did not uninstall the SecuROM DRM rootkit thingie, when the game was uninstalled. From the text above it is not clear whether that has changed.
