It's still not known either whether or not the DVD's themselves are region locked, or whether the SolidShield DRM will identify you as being in the U.S and prevent you from activating the game before your regions official release date like Steam will.
Official Cliffs of Dover DRM solution Q&A
Do I have to be online to activate my game?
While the activation solution will initially attempt to activate your game online, you can elect to manually enter an activation code. You will need to enter the code that comes with your game into the activation wizard, you will then be given an activation code that you can enter manually.
So in the US, if I could get my hands on a US version of IL-2 CoD DVD by the end of march, I could not play it until April 26th?????
Not sure if Cliffs of Dover sights Q&A is speaking of DVD or downloadable version???
The last couple sentences are confusing to me.....
So, although you do not necessarily need to have your computer hooked up to the internet, you will need to go online to obtain a code before playing.
How does one go online if he is not hooked up to the internet?
