The problems stem from SecuROM, a DRM infection of unconscionable proportions, brought to you by the good people of Sony, again. 2KGames took the anti-user step of hurting paying customers with this malware in order to prevent piracy, but if you don't want to end up with a system filled with unremovable malformed registry keys and an uninstallable coaster, your only recourse is to pirate it.

What SecuROM does is phone home and activate, the same way MS malware in WGA and Vista does. If you install the game twice, it will keep you from installing a third time...

BShock has a bunch of problems right now, the DRM included. But since the game rocks faces and is the best thing since HL2, I'll play it to the end and then just reformat.

Besides, '2K Games' thinks I live in Baltimore.

Or buy it and install via Steam, then you use Steams Engine for anti piracy not securom - When i buy games now i only concider steam or then i pirate. Gotta love Valve.

That's the fun part Vi. I bought it via Steam too and still got SecureROM errors. A lot of people did. See here and here. There are a lot more stories out there about this too. It sucks. ♠
