King's Bounty The Legend and SecureROM

[RobtheBlob]

I have bought King’s Bounty The Legend, and have to reboot, eject and insert the DVD usually over 20 times for my DVD player to detect it.

I am a games geek and have never had this problem with any other game, and I've got a LOT of games.

None of them have the SecuROM application built into it.

This is getting past a joke, it is a game I have paid for, and I can’t play (well, not without at least 20 minutes of reboots, eject and re-inserts and screaming at the DVD).

I understand in this age of “Piracy” game makers have to protect their games, but as an owner of over 200 games and 800 movie DVD’s I am NOT one of them.

Unfortunately, being in the UK, the only way I could buy it is a "physical" copy, and not through Steam / Digital Download / Direct2Drive / etc

I'd really like a response from 1C please. I'm not interested in the NoCD patches out there.

1C, couldn't you have gone with a live activation code or similar ... surely that would have been cheaper then incorporating SecrueROM on the DVD.

My 5 year old son loves the graphics and the game play and "assists" me in combats ... but having to tell him after 20 minutes, sorry we can't play it and have him crying does not make me a happy "Dad", it is heartbreaking.

If I could download it and give this physical copy back with a refund, that would be great ...

Please 1C, what can be done ???

Thanks,

Rob
