If anyone plays this online for PC, let me know. I'm usually on at 7:30 ish eastern time during the week. Typically play for an hour or so. My gamer tag is, you guessed it, maxdallasfan.
 
I'll look you up. However, i've been having issues lately getting into a game. UGH. I get online fine, but wait forever to join a game. double UGH.

Getting Battlefield: Hardline tomorrow. This man has needs to lets off some steam!
 
The DRM that comes with the game will not only monitor the number of pc's you install on, but any hardware changes you make as well. I for one wouldn't mind if EA vanished tomorrow.
http://www.gamewatcher.com/news/201...unt-if-it-registers-too-many-hardware-changes

PC hardware site Guru3D has discovered DRM hidden within Battlefield: Hardline that kicks off if the game detects you changing your hardware multiple times, locking your account.
Site runner Hilbert Hagedoorn discovered the software after testing out Hardline's performance on multiple graphics cards. Understandably, he's not best pleased.


"Here's what EAs DRM is doing," Hagedoorn writes. "They don't just verify the number of PCs you work on slash use, nope .. they dare to monitor hardware changes now, which I am sure is a privacy breach on many levels. So once we insert new hardware (graphics cards) the hardware id # hash changes and if that happes a couple of times they are rendering your activation invalid."
The message reads; "Too many computers have accessed this account's version of Battlefield: Hardline Digital Deluxe Edition recently. Please try again later."
As Hagedoorn points out, this essentially renders the kind of performance testing that he specialises in impossible. At the time of his post Hagedoorn had been locked out of the game for around four hours, and the warning message he was issued with mentioned no set time period for the ban. It's also not clear just how many hardware changes are allowed before the DRM kicks in.
Which is really besides the point. If you buy a game legitimately, surely you should be able to do whatever you want with the PC you're running it on? Hard to see how EA is going to do anything but annoy its fanbase with this move.

Let me know how that is Corso. I've been an avid fan of Battlefield from the get go. Still play Battlefield 4 every now and then. Need half a bar to max out my rank and get the star. I'm in the War Pigs platoon.
 
Max was it you that made a post on here 2 or 3 months back asking if anyone played EVE online?

I'd never heard of the game, took a look and now i'm absolutely hooked.
 
I was a HUGE Battlefield fan, but the last one I bought was Battlefield 3. EA can DIE DIE DIE!!!

EVE has a tremendous learning curve. I tried it on a free trial and never got the hang of it.

Same here. You almost need people who already know how to play to teach you if you start on the trial. Otherwise, you won't pay when the trial is over because of the learning curve.
