It deals with SecuROM but it does not block or in any way influence FADE. FADE is much more deeper than that and if you don't own the original game with valid cd key and ping from dev servers, YOU WILL FADE. There are some crazy advices on the net to block stuff in firewall, change keys then patch, etc. FADE is blocking all users trying to patch it in any way (copy legit patched copy over pirated for example).Įven in 1.52, users are suffering from FADE. So ArmA 2 and Expansion are currently safe. Latest patches verify some things and if you don't have them, they won't install. Actual patch is 1.57 going near 1.58 and you can only find cracked version of 1.52. Go search for ArmA 2 or ArmA 2 Expansion (Arrowhead) on the net. But eventually you will get latest effect and you will figure something is seriously wrong. Let's just say that if you didn't get latest symptom you probably wouldn't notice it or just disregard it as bug or something else. There are few more effects but biggest one is (and then you know you are fucked) is when all of sudden game displays logo screens from start of the game with some music and after that everything becomes blured and it looks like 'seaworld'. During gameplay it annoys you with different stuff like turning you into an animal during play or you just suddenly die It always goes south by few inches or in abyss (literally). You won't notice it at first but bullet NEVER lands on the place you intended. For example in ArmA2 you get effect like these: It will drive you mad so you will either stop playing the game or buy it. It is extremely effective counter pirate technique. All new games and it looks like other games might be going for the solution. Installments of FADE can now days be seen in games like Operation Flashpoint, Armed Assault, Armed Assault 2, Armed Assault: Operation Arrowhead, etc. It is still not cracked and there is no way to bypass it. It is protection technology developed by Codemasters and probably some other coders originally for PS2 and some games back then.
