Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
Jelenedra:
Well, poop. Here I was hoping you'd come back with a story and a name you gave the dust bunny living under your processor. =D

Those miserable bastards - I uninstalled Daemontools and the screen went away. On the upside, that answered my questions about random traces of stuff left on my system from the pirated version.
I wonder - did you use digital download or did you purchase a physical copy?
Physical, store purchased copy.
Also, restarting computer, with Daemontools still uninstalled, results in the message of DOOM popping up again.
I think it was Sims 1 that they targetted CloneCD. I couldn't run my legitimate game while I had that installed on my computer. It's what moved me over to Daemon Tools in the first place.
*sigh*

Disabling internet completely also gets rid of the message. Something in the authentication process, perhaps? Moar experimentation in the works.
Edit: it must be doing some sort of check at start up for SOMETHING - what that something is I have no idea. Blocking all internet connections when first firing the launcher up results in no "non-final, unauthorized copy" warning.

Well, I ran scandisk and it didn't report any problems, so does this rule out any hard drive problems? If so, that leaves just my video card. I just hope they'll still let me do an RMA even though I've removed the stock fan for a better VGA cooler. Of course, I'll put the stock cooler back on before I return it, but I just hope they won't notice/care.

On the TS3 site, some are saying that cleaning cache and cookies of all internet browsers that you have will fix the problem.
