OT: My worst nightmare... ever!

hm it starts to look like the game uses Starforce as there are still no pirate versions on the internet. Not that I care that much about Starforce, I have 1 game installed already that uses it and it does not give me problems. So I just find out when I have the game probably tommorow or tuesday.

Or maybe rockstar have kept the game real good watched this time so that it wouldn't be a leak so fast...

Another theory of mine is that the game is SecuROM v7 and has random checks throughout the game just like GTA3 had and any cracker is making sure there are none left... or something...

Also consider that the xbox version is not you yet either, and xbox games has no hard protection... They are easily circumvented...

I think it will be mini-images if this has Securom, as Take Two do like their in-game CD checks. If it has Starforce, then I still don't mind, as long as the USB trick will still work. I must say I'm surprised it's less tha 24 hours from it's US release, yet there's no mention of it. I'm certain we'll know the protection by tomorrow evening, one way or another.

If it is Securom, then I'll bet the latest Alcohol or Daemon are blacklisted, so we will have to wait for new versions before we can mount our mini-images. And you can be sure that in their rush to be a first releaser, the groups won't spot all the CD checks, and the game won't be cracked properly.

Never mind

You are thinking all wrong here... Of course it will not be starforce (I have decided that now :P) and there is nothing wrong at all with the game 24h from release and still not on the net. Thats great! But that is surprising me too actually...

Also I am pretty sure the game will be cracked pretty soon anyway if it is SecuROM v7 as the game is a big one and any group will earn soo much respect for cracking it...
