'Disc Authorisation Failure'

<< < (4/4)

saraswati:
Sparkles, that just sounds like their garden variety "end background processes" advice they give PC users too. I'd be careful when it comes to being sure it's not SecuROM, that error message is very similar to one we used to get with early forms of SecuROM. I'm not saying it absolutely is that, it's just something that's good to check off the list.

The information I've got when it comes to Macs is confusing, to say the least. While they said the disk version should be SecuROM free, around the same time we were getting information that the company that was going to port PC games to Mac was putting SecuROM on all of the games that it ported.

Immortelle:
Trying to quit all processes in general is also a fairly dangerous suggestion to make, as some moron will try to quit operating processes as well.  Don't laugh, I've known people who've tried to do that, and got all upset when they couldn't.  But I'll try that, the 2 am lag I get from Awesomemod I am currently finding to be extremely unawesome.

Sigmund:
Are you referring to the 1 am lag? I'm pretty sure that's from EAxis (though I haven't played without AM in ages, so I can't remember how noticeable it is in a vanilla game), it's when the game does all of the story progression calculations and so on.

Also, in reference to the Securom thing: I haven't been able to find any traces on my macbook yet, but I don't play from the disc. I have no idea if running from the disc would affect this or not.

saraswati:
Immortelle, that issue used to drive me nuts, but when I turned on the Awesome Story Drivers, the issue went away. Maybe you could try that and see if it helps?
