Hey guys,
I'm wondering what extremes the Wolfenstein DRM takes.
MehBrett states on the g4tv forums that "it has SecuRom on the disc, but it doesn't install anything on your PC. The SecuRom on it is pretty light.."
On other forums, I've also found that it uses SecuROM v7.x which I'm a bit iffy about letting anywhere near my PC.
So to all those who have the latest Wolfenstein, are there any activation limits? Does the Australian version contain SecuROM v7? Is v7 REALLY that bad?
Thanks! =)

Aliasalpha: Err Rainbows? We are talking about this wolfenstein aren't we?
I'm open to the possibility of it not sucking but the trailers have given me the impression of a generic nazi killfest with magic and that desperately wants to be FEAR

BJ Blazkowicz is Commander Keen's grandpa. I wouldn't put rainbows past him. ;)
I don't anything about this new Wolfenstein, but I don't consider the older ones generic nazi killfests. They were much too silly and fun. Doom on earth in the 1940's with fantasy 3rd Reich occultism as the vehicle. More Serious Sam than Call of Duty.
Perhaps things have changed?

chautemoc: According to RYG, it's a disk check only and doesn't install anything -- just like The Sims 3 and I think Fallout 3 implementations..seems like this is a trend lately which is good.
It's not good, it's acceptable. good would be with no disk checks.

That was a reference to Diablo 3 and the huge uproar by the rabid fanbase because of the rainbows, and colourful art direction.
In other words, I failed at being funny. =P

cogadh: Additionally, the majority of the bugs that NWN2 had were not in any way related to SecuROM. The only one I know of that was clearly SecuROM was a problem that prevented the launch of the game (blue screen), but again, that had nothing to do with anything Obsidian "coded" into SecuROM, it was a problem inherent to SecuROM.

One other problem from an earlier update to SecuROM (that was fixed in a subsequent update) was the OS crashing/freezing while right-clicking an .exe in Windows Explorer. I got hit with that one. The OS would either crash or you'd have to do a restart (CTRL+ALT+DEL didn't work, you had to actually restart the machine).
