Sporn On Pc

[Damo_c]

Hi, i gave up on games a long time a ago but just wanted to let everyone know that Sporn on PC has a virus that beds itself onto you computer, i dont know much about it but it seems to watch your comuter and give back info to EA even if you try and remove the program form the computer itself

BEWARE!!!

Its an online check thing, that makes sure that each copy of the game can only be installed 3 times max (not sure if it counts reinstall as one), after you have used up 3 attempts you have to phone EA to get a new key.

I would assume that the "virus" you are talking about is this program that monitors this.

Ironically, if you get the hacked version, that program is removed by the hackers.

BTW nearly all of EA's latest games have this online check bit, that limits each key to a certain # of install.

Do u mean SPORE? Well ive had it on my PC since release and its running fine, computer still runs flawlessly, but my version doesnt connect to the internet.

[Mayuri Krab]

Hacked or pirated version?

I know that the genuine ones all have the connect to internet to check your key & locks it to your hardware step during install.

so what would happen if you did download this game and it was not hacked and it detected you had an incorrect key?

[Mayuri Krab]

You just can't start the game.

I downloaded the game. Installed it, cant remember if it was a key or crack.

But works fine, lets me create and account and all

Probably cracked already, Reloaded have already released the game as an image + the crack on torrent sites.

I found most of the new (& up coming games) from EA all have this sort of protection. like the new crysis expansion & red alert 3.

Great job EA following Microsoft's gay DRM method = I'm never buying a game with such protection, locking your key for a limit # of installs is just beyond gay.

True that. Ive totally stopped buying new games, pointless. Might consider buying GTA IV for PC when its out.

Torrents are the best
