I don't trust it.
I've removed the securom folders and the registry entry, and added the no-cd hack
I installed the patch then re added the no-cd patch.
Well, you are obviously more trusting than a number of us here who have not installed the patch at all. You need to read previous posts in this thread re: installing the patch and then running the no-cd crack. Unless your no-cd download is for this patch, you may or may not end up with a BFBVFS due to the Unholy Hybrid of BV versions. All the best.

Personally, if it weren't for the critical NON-game-specific issues spewing forth from this mess.... I'd say this is all quite amusing, really.
@veilchen - I'm not sure whether we are being dissed here or not. In case we are:
Azrael: Our pointy sticks - have we shown you them? If you want to be amused, please do so without the backhanded commentary. "Spewing", sheesh!
If, on the other hand, I have overreacted, which is possible on the amount of sleep I seem to be getting these days, please carry on as normal.

If I uninstall/reinstall my game, won't it automatically reinstall the patch anyway? Because after each EP and SP is installed, it does the whole "checking to make sure your game is up to date" thing. Isn't that installing the patches?
You can uninstall and then reinstall anything you have to (Base and all EPs with their patches up to BV). Your original BV version does not know about the patch and believes strongly that it is already up to date. Considering everything, it's probably right. You can reinstall that too. Just don't reinstall the BV patch and you should be back to whatever normal is for your game. Do remember to back up your hoods, downloads, etc. before you start this, or you will likely lose them.
Azrael:
Nah.. no dissing, here, although I apologize for coming off that way...
Perhaps I should have been more specific - what I find amusing is the irony of the (Third-party) patches being needed to fix the patch by Eaxis needed to fix the game that they STILL can't seem to design properly in the first place.. if you forget you're trapped inside this maddening circus sideshow and step back, the whole thing becomes just that - a circus sideshow, save the madness.
Actually, it had just occurred to me that my post may have been taken offensively after reading Abbriella's post, and the ensuing flame (and so eloquently!)...

How ignorant...
..and to clarify, I myself really am not laughing.. (well, perhaps in a sardonic tone..) This obviously is no laughing matter, and I myself am a bit peeved, though I've suffered no ill effects from SecuRom yet...
veilchen:
There ya go. I shall put away my pointy stick, red alert canceled.
I'm a bit late, but I've been all over the place yet again to find out if there really is no...ah.... 3rd party patched game fix. Captain Kidd and assorted mates couldn't be that negligent, I thought - after all its the pride of the guild that's at stake here.
I haven't found anything specific yet, but there are some games that can be... well, acquired after patches from the game company. Now I'm going to bed, no need for everyone having to go without adequate sleep (sorry for the jab, Jolrei, I forgot I was still holding the pointy stick :D). However, I shall keep on hunting. The internet is a large place, really it is, and I've actually been having fun on my hunt. I just wish I wouldn't get side-tracked so much.
Azrael:
Ah, my bad... I meant, more or less, the NEED for a third-party patch for THEIR patch..
Silly me. :)
Keep doing your thing, e-Artemis... (Or do you prefer iDiana?) ;) You do it well, from what I can tell.
skandelouslala:
Will pass. In fact I forget the last time I even used a EAxis patch at all and my game has been fine & dandy with just my hacks.
