Hi All
Firstly apologies for my lack of tech smarts. Hopefully the following won't be too stupid a question.
I've had "SR2" for a while, but haven't played in ages since I used to run it on my old PC and never got around to reinstalling after I upgraded.
Now I fancy having another crack at it and have been reading that "SR2" is now DRM free. But clearly my creaky copy is still going to have it on there.
I have to be honest and say that when I first installed "SR2" I knew little or nothing about DRM (erm...as opposed to now right?!
) and in my uninformed innocence I happily installed away and frankly I never had, or realized if I was having, any related issues or problems.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing of course and now looking back at the various issues my old PC did have, eventually leading to its retirement, I can't help but wonder how many, if any of them were due to DRM from this and that program, installed by me never realizing I might be hurting my old beige friend.
Regardless, these days I'm much more reluctant to take risks with my current machine and it's a shame because I'm missing out on some great gaming from my old collection.
So is there anything I can do to make my copy of "SR2" Badger friendly?
I do remember playing one title, which might have been one of the "Silent Hunter" range and a tech savvy friend of mine giving me something to run once it was installed (as long as I didn't play it first) which got rid of the DRM before it ever got a chance to get into my PC.
Of course the joke there is that I was blithely running who knows what already and so this DRM was no doubt already there anyway!
Now though I run a much cleaner ship and would like to stay that way. Any advice much appreciated.
