Bioshock
 

anyone know what protection it has? i won't be getting it for a few weeks

Probably STEAM + Activation?

Well the Retail version will probably feature Securom v7.xx and I know it has an activation. It contacts 2kgames server and autopatches/decrypts (probably) before you can play the game. So anyone who managed to get the PC-version form a store pre-release-date (ohio anyone...) can't activate it anyway.

Steam version will of course feature Steam "protection" and possibly 2k activation server..

Edit:
Looks as if the Direct2Drive version will use ActiveMark with online activation.

Besides activation: Demo exe indicates SecuROM 7.34.0007

Everything, including Steam and Direct2Drive builds, are new Securom versions.
The only one I am not sure about is Direct2Drive. But I'd bet a 20 that its using Securom, since other games on it have had Securom in the past.

that was fast

is it working ? i'm affraid its fake, way to fast

course its fake
1. it came from a 2 post poster
2. no team have released the game
3. its still securom protected

so some idiot just took the demo exe, and 'made' it a crack.. total bullshit

not a demo exe.demo exe is 15,4 MB this exe is 15,5 MB

yea, i can confirm its not the demo.exe

oep etc. is different :p

/quke

was anyone able to play it?

still protected no or just some crap dump?

Scanning -> c:\temp\bioshock.exe
File Type : Exe, Size : 16302080 (0F8C000h) Byte(s)
-> Suspicious MZ Header..
[!] SecuROM Detected - Version 07.34.0007
- Scan Took : 2.859 Seconds

agreed entrypoint doesnt look like securom, i'd be a little bit wary of this one...
ep code is mangled..

Could be demo.exe padded and had its PE header changed.

or retail exe, either way pid shows prot as securom.... and im not going to try it, entrypoint code is not 'usual'.. not even for securom exe
