BioShock PC Version Widescreen Issues and Copy Protection

jmke · 23rd August 2007, 11:49

As if 2K wasn't taking enough flak from yesterday's widescreen debacle, now gamers who have spent their hard-earned cash on the PC version of BioShock are finding that they can only install the game twice, ever. The game uses SecuROM copy protection, which verifies the install of the game remotely, disabling further installs once the game has been installed twice.

you can only reinstall it without uninstalling it twice

If you uninstall it the limit doesn't apply.

Yeah many folks have their panties in a major twist over this. Lots of cancelled pre-orders etc.
