Steam uses its own DRM, so I doubt very much that you'll have to deal with SecuRom. It's one of the reasons I decided to purchase the game through Steam.

I too would also like an answer from this question.

I agree but some big AAA titles on steam do have the drm that their retail versions have like Bioshock for example.

Let hope to get the answer from people who have the game on steam

Well, yesterday I sent an e-mail to EA asking if it did have any activation limits so sometime today *if the stay true to responding in 24 hours* i should hopefully get an answer.

Hi wuwtk!

We see you have a question regarding one of our games.

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers and downloading the latest DirectX?

Please also see our troubleshooting guide.

Thanks,
EA Support

AHAH

Exactly.

Can anyone that has it installed so far confirm if SecuROM is there?

Ontarget · 09-17-2008, 02:42 PM

Yes. Could someone please confirm this. I just returned my retail copy because of SecuROM. I am not dealing with rootkits.

Brillant · 09-17-2008, 03:06 PM

No mention of SecuROM or limited installs in the EULA. Looks promising.

LurkerLito · 09-17-2008, 03:18 PM

Yes it does according to steam support! I wrote them yesterday and their reply was:

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

The Crysis series uses Securom.

For more information, please contact EA Support:

I am not happy about that reply. I am going to most likely pass on Warhead.

damunk · 09-17-2008, 03:24 PM

What kind of securerom tho? The kind that only lets you authenticate a few times and then requires you to call up EA?

This would serioulsy jarate me off.
