"Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 02:00"

OK - so I take that to mean 2AM, listed in the European 24h clock format (even though I'm in the U.S.). Gotta do an all-nighter then! Very Happy

Finally! Got my e-mail. It states: Release Date: October 25, 2011

But I guess what counts is what you get when try to run the game after the preload is finished.

Preloading now.


You get that SecuROM message.
(Localized automatically so I couldn't change it.)

(VPN as I mentioned earlier, I use Your-Freedom in OpenVPN mode - free service 100 KB / 10 KB's speed - for authentication of the exe files and then just disconnect and start said exe again and enter the serial key if needed.)


once we unlock it,wil origin ask again for it?if not i can let somone from america un lock it for me?my vpn is in burcina faso ffs Smile



I'm planning on providing the authenticated exe once that validation can be passed so that others can benefit from a earlier possible release date, all that's then required is to enter the cd-key and activate the game, also the exe won't revert back to SecuROM wrapped authentication form or anything, it's a one time release day check and then you get the proper exe file which you then activate from with your serial key. Smile
(Thus it's all valid.)

Nah, just a copy-paste message in some other warez forum. Even if it's fake (which it most probably is) I just wanted know what it meant.

Well i seriously doubt it means anything. First of all it's not like you have Skidrow tweeting their releases, second the files are encrypted and i seriously doubt they managed to break it (noone broke steam encryptions so far, origin would be major fail if it got cracked so fast), third what's p2p got to do with anything?

Exactly, the p2p part was the one that got me all confused about it Very Happy

But yeah, you're right, the encryption system is looking to be just like the one used by steam.

There's no encryption as such on the game files (Which was a bit surprising.) but it does use SecuROM's release date check system on the bf3.exe file so there's not much that can be done until the 24th at the earliest.
(Encryption similar to what Steam does I mean, or how to best describe or clarify, all files are present and they're usable.)

Of course the black guy's name is Leroy...

Of course the latino/mexican is unemployed and wants to keep it that way...

Of course they're playing on console...

Of course there are AMD stickers on the chairs...

Of course he's coaching the Latino in the "AMD War Room" on a PC for playing it on a console...

"Next time on "The Racist": Leeroy's chicken got stolen and all eyes are on our hispanic friend. See what happens in the next episode when Freddie "The Noodle" W. is providing us with his awesome digital effects." "Oh, and buy a PS3.. and BF3... but more important a PS3... and an XBOX360! Show them puny Europeans where the real gaming is happening!"

I don't remember anything like that, just the usual that the game will be available for authentication on the 24th, 25th, 27th or even 28th depending on region (I tried a number of VPN connections, ha ha.) and time zone differences, nothing unusual amongst the SecuROM notifications either.

EDIT: I suppose you could say that the exe is wrapped into this SecuROM activation technology and will still be once it's authenticated via that release date check server but I wouldn't say the game is encrypted or missing files other than the usual exe things mentioned earlier, for SecuROM it's fairly common.
(Valve in comparison use full encryption on every single file for their pre-load titles and depending on publisher there's further DRM after it's decrypted though it seems Valve's CEG protection is becoming more standard than other alternatives now but Steam has grown quite a bit as well, of course SecuROM, Tages, Ubisoft Orbit and others are still used, even LIVE I think.)

This is what I'm talking about:



Among all the blah blah there's this bit of text that says:

"If the verification is passed, the server will send a decryption key. The files and folders will be decrypted and will be replaced."
