Does anyone know what protection SIMS 2 will use?

[t.foster73]

OK, I know this isn't released until a week on Friday, but does anyone know what protection it will use, or to be more specific, will it use Starforce 3? Don't flame me here, I'm not asking for a nocd, I just thought that as it went gold 3 weeks ago, someone might know what Copy protection it uses. I've searched the 'You know what sites', not to download, because I'm not a thief (Also on 56k!), but there are no signs of it, which may be a pointer that it will utilize SF3. Thanks

hm. It comes from EA. So maybe they stay on securom as on Sims 1 add-ons. If they are clever, they use starforce on DVD. Race 2 is greeting.

EA have an agreement with those Macrovision people dont they? Every EA game I have ever encountered has always had some version of Safedisc on there. Safe bet to say that Sims will have the latest version of that on there.

Safe to say it will be beaten in an hour or 2....

when is the actual launch date aniways?

[t.foster73]

14th September US. 17th September UK.

why do they always do that, one country first then the other one, its so dammed stupid, they just bring piracy on themseves. the uk player not wanting to wait the extra 3 days just goes and download it, same happened with Doom 3 and thats why it became the most pirated game of history

Hahahaa, Luciel, tell me you aint looking forward to this 'game'?

[Luciel]

Lol actually i aint lol, when the first one came out i tottally got hooked and since then i HATE IT lol but it really bothered me having to wait 10 days extra for doom 3 so i though id comment

[munsterbuster]

Well I hate it but my girlfriend is praising me for a long time when I finally get it.

Well Doom 3 is typical male game. Kill kill kill without thinking.
And Sims 2 are typical female game. Love, hate and etc, like Big Brother and other stupid "reality shows" (I say the "faked reality" (show)).

[umiker]

I think it is Safedisk 2

[sawyer77]

apparently not a very good one considering it's been pirated already a week before the release date.

[krondike]

You can exclude SafeDisc 2, becuase no new developed games are using the old SafeDisc 2, at least they use SafeDisc 3 (if they use SafeDisc at all) in this case they use SafeDisc 3 + Serial, witch not supprise me, expect the same for NHL 2005, Fifa 2005, EuroCupFotboll 2005 and the manager game version, 2005. E A Sports is in the....Macrovisions hands...

Well when its safedisc, crack should be avaible soon. Meanwhile I will try alcohol or MIR then.
