Copy Protection enabled?

[drguildo 10]

How do I check whether the copy protection that screws up your aim etc. is enabled? I'm using a legal copy but I get the feeling my aim is being severely messed with.

I'm playing the first sniper mission (the one on the water tower) and about 10% of my shots hit and even when they do they seem to do hardly any damage. It typically takes 3 or more shots to kill a guy and I've shot people in the face and they've kept coming.

I don't just have crappy aim. I've played a lot of Operation Flashpoint and so I know about adjusting for bullet drop etc. I did all the training missions fine but when I got to the actual game the above happened.

Thanks.

I should have mentioned that this is even on the easiest difficulty and with "auto aim" enabled.

Before doing anything else we need to make sure you have updated your game to the latest version.

Which version of the game do you have?

You can check the version from the main menu screen. It should be automatically displayed somewhere there.

You can find help to update the game from here:

http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html

You may have to install several updates to get it up to date. The latest 'stable' version at the moment is 1.14.5256. There is a also a 'beta' version 1.17.something. I recommend you don't bother yourself with the beta at this time. You can later try it once the problem you described has been solved. So make sure you have updated the game to the 1.14 version and do some playing and report back here did anything change regarding the problem.

OK.

I recall there has been discussion about this sort of a problem here at this forum before. So the next thing to do would be to... search! :bounce3:

Sorry if this seems very obvious and if you already did it, but I have no way of knowing if you searched for old discussions about the same problem as you didn't tell me.

I am 99 % sure it has been discussed before at this forum so a search should turn up something. I'm going to watch TV now so can't do the search for you :)
