What did I ever do to SecuROM?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I bought a brand new computer just to play my only favorite game, ArmA of course. I made sure that I got a strong system to enable high settings and fluid gameplay.

Dell XPS 420

Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, 3.0 GHz

3.00 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX (768 MB dedicated, 2000 MB+ shared, with latest drivers)

The game ran extremly well, allowing highest settings with 20+ groups and 4 helicopters in Corazol without a single sign of lag or bugs. Then it started all of a sudden and continues to happen constantly.

Black screen with small window saying - "Armed Assault has stopped working, Windows is searching for a solution, this may take several minutes..."

When getting back to desktop it says that ArmA is in conflict with another "CopyProtection" program - SecuROM. A link gets me to Securoms website and it clearly tells me that I'm running ArmA from an image and instead have to insert the original disc. This is when I start getting heat rash in my face from anger.

I have the original disc in my DVD drive all the time. It's bought in a store in Sweden, 505 games release, updated to 1.08 and Queens Gambit installed from Sprocket.

Can anyone help me to solve this annoying problem with a program - SecuROM - that is obviously poorly designed, since it even stops an original disc from functioning.

Appreciative for advices

Thanks again.

Not sure how to add that stuff to the shortcut, but I'll try.

If I fail I'll bother this forum again.

Cheers.

Sorry if I mistype some crap. I'm a little... Tipsy.

1. Right click your ArmA desktop shortcut.

2. Click Properties.

3. Click the Shortcut tab

4. Add the following AFTER whats written in the "TARGET:" section:

-mod=DBE1

NB: The whole target box should read SIMLER (dont touch the bit in quotation marks on your shortcut!wink_o.gif to:

"C:\Program Files\blah\blah\ArmA.exe" -mod=DBE1

Hi again.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how I should add the QG mod to 1.09 beta.exe.

I'm pretty good at making missions, but not at computers in general.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone.

It seems to work really well. Blazin... It's okay I'm tipsy too. There is nothing like OFP/ArmA editing on Bacardi rum.

Sincerely
