Default Re: What´s the point of the new copy protection?
To be honest the error message (by not specifying what the problem was) had me convinced that this was simply a buggy game with dodgy patches. Crash causing error messages in foreign languages generally have that effect on me.

However I looked it up on the 'net and found out what was up. I then patiently waited for my copy of dom3 to arrive (I live in a pretty out of the way corner of the earth) and afterwards it was all good. An error message saying 'bad cd key' would have caused me less of a headache and I think bugging a game is a godawful form of copy protection. Galactic Civilisations II had a good system (patches/support clearly marked as only for legit users)
