K2mil Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I would not worry about ED. They are doing amazing work and all we have to do is support them in creating this amazing sim world. For example I have no feelings what so ever for an older WWII PLANES OR HELICOPTERS but still I purchased both of them from ED (p51 and Bs2) because I appreciate all their hard work they put into a10c and other modules. On the other hand they are a small business and not greedy corporation like EA where every game is like maverick "fire and forget..."

Oznerol256 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Are you per chance trying to run it in in vmware? Out of curiosity: Why is it forbidden to use DCS in a vmware? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sobek Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Why is it forbidden to use DCS in a vmware? It isn't, it just doesn't work. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Irregular programming Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) It isn't, it just doesn't work. Because of starforce.. hey.. wasn't that what the whole discussion was about? :smartass: What an odd thing to say :huh: I don't have any issue with any DRM, and never did. I just fired up Silent Hunter 5 the other day, it installed UPlay, updated it, I did have to hunt down my old login details but it wasn't their fault. Once sorted I logged in and I'm off. I never understand why people hate DRM's, the only reason I can think of is their pro-pirating themselves or they're miss-informed. You installed UPlay and you think that you weren't hurt by DRM? Oh wait, you were, explain to me why it's ok to have to log in to a single player experience of a game that you licensed? The use of excessive DRM on software is an awful business practice. Please don't call other miss-informed, or pirates just because they want to use the software they licensed without the need for constant internet connectivity or stupid installation restrictions. Most game developers know that DRM is a bad thing. And the effects are mostly negligible or you will lose sales because of it. I don't buy obtrusive DRM protected games, DCS is an exception, where there a choice and ED had competition which offered the same type of product line but without digital right management taken to the extreme then I would most likely stop buying DCS products until a sane replacement to starforce DRM is used.

159th_Falcon Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Even though i don't have issues myself whit DRM. There is something to say for the ability to play SP without any internet connectivity. Specially if a game is already activated once (by whatever means, prolly internet) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:)
gavagai Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 DRM is about piracy. And its fail. A-10 and BS were cracked long, long ago. And a handful of people downloaded them. And probably threw it off their computers when they found out it was a hard study sim. The point is, DRM only hurts us, the paying customers. Only serious people buy this game and those types can afford it. The COD / McDonald's worker types that pirate would never have bought this game. DRM is un-waranted since it only causes pain to the real players and is near insta-cracked by the pirates anyway. This. The only thing DRM accomplishes for a hard core flight sim is to reduce usability for the paying customer.

sobek Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) With all due respect, this error sounds like it does not work...by design. Starforce doesn't allow it/can't deal with it, that doesn't mean that it would be a breech of EULA per se. I'm sure that ED wouldn't care if the DRM could cope with it. With that said, the whole DRM thing has already been discussed to death. Seeing that there's no impulses to this discussion that haven't been presented at least a hundred times, i'll close this now to spare us all having to go in circles ad infinitum.
