Please help! I need help with Operation Flaspoint & Fade

[Buzzlightyear]

I have made a back up copy of Operation Flashpoint, i have installed the game from this back up copy and have not had any problems. Until i read about the 'Fade' protection on gamecopyworld, then i had my doubts, from the original and from the back up they both have this notice saying that illegal copies arent worth it etc etc.

But i did not encounter a message such as this stated in the article on GCW.

The use of FADE(tm) will be displayed during game installation, saying "Original discs don't FADE(tm), in order that players who experience problems will be aware that their CD is potentially an illegal copy.

I have only began familirising myself with the game, choosing a quick mission rather than a campaign. Ive just played about an hour or so on this, and no changes in the game have been noticed, although this should be noticed over a long period of time.

Please can anyone give me any reassurance.
Thanks
