Fenix, as far as I know, it's the publisher who makes the decisions on the copy protection, not the game developers.

So one idiot middle manager in a publishing company that never has to use the product can completely mess up the reputation of the developer by choosing a lousy "copy protection" that interferes with regular system use.

Of course, this also means that those of us who actually PAY FOR the software lose out the most, since we're the only ones affected.

x2 what said guy above ... stupid decisions on publishers front = disaster ...

btw. it's irony to see how Securom is getting worse and worse each release while StarForce does fine

Comparing a programmer of such a cool game to a traffic-warden was a bit harsh, I guess!

I was thinking BIS would have more control over the packaging of their game, but can accept that this is very possibly not the case.

My problem..
I double click the icon, the dvd spools up the icon goes to the spinning disk...then the windows has experienced message come up.

My reply from 505 games...(one of many)

Dear Sir or Madam

Thank you for contacting 505 Games Technical Support.
Your customer number is ***************

This definitely sounds like a SecuROM issue, as you are experiencing the error before the game engine begins to initialise.

Could you try installing this update -

Rightclick on your ArmA icon on the desktop (or startmenu) -> Launch Analysis -> Send the created file to the Securom email given after the Analysis and see what they have to say.

If it's an incompatibility between Securom and your drive you might get a fixed .exe from Securom.

I've been through this already with securom a few weeks back, hence:

re: ARMA
Thank you for your email. After careful inspection of the analysis file, and due to your specific error messages, it appears that the issue is not SecuROM related. Please contact the software publisher, Bohemia Interactive for further support options related to issues specific to the software.

I didn't know that. If you have posted that before then sorry, but I simply don't have the time to browse the whole thread each time someone comes up with a problem.

Have you sent an email to BI Support in the meantime? If not give it a try:
