Securom woes. Can't play... Debugger or Emulator detected.
I seems like the gods themselves do not want me to play city building games...
After an unsuccessful purchase of SimCity 4 deluxe that left me with an RMA number from EA games, I hopped on Steam and picked up Cities XL 2011.
Right after the download, I settled in with a beer and fired off the game.
10 seconds later, I was told that Securom cannot activate a security module (code 8017) and was promptly kicked out of the launcher.
Looking up the code on the securom website, it seems the DRM software thinks I have an emulator or Debugger running. Odd... All the other games that have securom embedded in them ( Crysis, Bioshock.. ect..) have never given me one lick of problem.
So.. I did a clean boot, leaving all the computer's bells and whistles disabled.
Still no go. Same error. I used Securom's website analysis tool ( turned up nothing ) and fired off the emails in the order it recommended.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get around this f&*king DRM so I can play the game I purchased on Steam?
