Sacred 2 - The strangest thing I've ever seen...

[ShdwFlash]

When visiting a friend the other day, he showed me Sacred 2: The Fallen Angel which he. *ahem* got through interesting sources. :tongue:

Anyways, as he was busy showing it off by going on a rampage he got stopped dead in his tracks by a message suddenly popping up that more or less said something like this:

"Warning! This copy of Sacred 2 is not legal. Stop playing now or face my wrath"

My friend immediately saw it as a joke from the people who he got the crack and everything from, but he was out of luck...from that moment onwards, whenever he clicked anywhere, the message would pop up! :shocked:

Even re-applying the crack and everything didn't stop the message from popping up. After a while he gave up and uninstalled it completely.

Has anybody else come across something like this? Is this a new form of DRM?

Maybe the person who created that torrent (I'm assuming it's one) is an anti-piracy advocate and wants you to actually buy the game.

You cant get a game torrent and expect it to work everytime.

Your best bet is to stick to Reloaded, Skullptura, or an iso and hoofing it towards searching up a crack.<If you or your friend don't understand that youre screwed already (lol)

Still, buying it would be an easy solution (lol)

I don't know whether it is a torrent or not, but I find it unlikely for an anti-piracy advocate to create a crack which would cause a message like that....unless that person had way too much time on his hands.

I forgot to mention it last time, but the voice that said the message was the voice of the actual character. (That was what made it even scarier!) This leads me to conclude that it has to be something the developer put in.

Buying the game would be an easy solution, I agree, it's just a matter of getting the cash. ;)

Then its probably a safety protocol taken for not having a legit game. However he activated it the game noticed it was wrong.

You could try reinstalling with internet off (lol)

Thanks. I'll let him know. It would be really funny if it still does that even after doing all of it. Imagine....a game that has a moral conscience. :scream:

Isn't it would be good enough to reinstall the game and apply another crack(not the one from the torrent previously downloaded).So that you could use the previously saved game and load it from there.
