Now that Silent Resolve is working, I can change my Plaguebearer build to this.

Guys, I have a problem with Securom 
Bought the game two days ago, yesterday I installed it, but when I try to run it it says that I have some kind of emulation software like Alcohol or Daemon Tools, well I don't have any of them.
I try to install the 1.1.0 patch, same error.
I run CCleaner to fix registry entries in case something extrange was there, same error.
I run the Securom diagnostic tool, it doesn fix anything... same error.
I mean, I bought a game and I can't play it, if I download a cracked EXE or a pirated game I would be able to play it without any problem, what the fuck.
I'm waiting for securom support to analyzie the log file of the error, but this is stupid, it's saturday, I won't be able to play till monday an original game I paid, this fucking sucks.

Securom is HORRIBLE. I recomend you do just that: download a cracked exe and screw it.Leonsito said:Guys, I have a problem with Securom

That's a good question. I don't see why not? Doesn't hurt to try. AFAIK, pirates can play online (since there's no key to check on a master server, there's nothing preventing them to). All you need to go online is a gamespy account. I believe there's no CRC checking or anything like that involved.Leonsito said:
You don't need to uninstall it either. Just rename your original .exe file (to back it up, just in case) and find a cracked .exe.
Gameranger worked for me with no problems the one time I played with someone who couldn't figure out how to forward thier ports, so give it a shot.I <3 Memes said:
There is a revoke tool for the DLC SecuRom (I would much rather SecuROM's offices be destroyed with a tactical nuke, but whaddya gonna do?):

I found a crack but when I try to run the game it gives me a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error" ...
God, I hate this.
Edit: Ok, I was using a 1.01 crack with the 1.10 game, and I can't found cracks for 1.10, and I can't go back to 1.0 ... fuck this. I give up playing Borderlands.

The original game doesn't use securom, only the DLC does. I don't know why you would have a message warning you about emulation software with the original game.

Playing on 360, and see on youtube videos of split screen play with the two screens on top of each other instead of side by side. How do you do this? Or is that the PS3 version?
Yeah, the retail version may have SecuROM but the Steam version doesn't, in theory, even though an automatic update added hooks to work with SecuROM in the Steam DLC.Leonsito said:I have the retail version, maybe the Steam version doesn't have it
Anyway, securom support replied:
What's really bizarre is that people are claiming (including SecuROM) that SecuROM no longer works as a ring 0 service or whatnot (I'm a computer engineer major and I haven't looked up the details of how Windows works in that regard), and I think I saw random users on the GearBox forums claiming that SecuROM no longer checks for running stuff like DaemonTools or SoftICE...but at least two people including you have posted reports of the thing flagging stuff as running (in both cases when you didn't have it installed?).
So I don't even know who to trust. Long story short, it sucks, pirates who knows where to find the game don't really have problems unless they get a cracked exe with spyware or something, and occasional consumers like you have problems with the game.
Good luck. And yes, I'm well aware that there may be people like Joseph Merrick who hate Steam with a passion and (as far as I remember) never say why. Recently he posted in regard to the Borderlands DRM and was like "Well SecuROM is fine, but Steam on top of it? *suicide*"
That's pretty stupid aside from the basically unexplained Steam hate, because the Steam DRM was there before the SecuROM DRM, so I'm pretty sure adding SecuROM would by definition be on top of Steam...correct me if I'm wrong. :lol At any rate, despite people like Merrick, I don't think I've ever had any problems running games with the Steam DRM, aside from occasionally when servers are really busy and I'm playing in online mode, a game won't start and you have to wait until later. This may also be when an update is pending.
I might like Steam better if that weren't the case, if there wasn't a concern that my account could get flagged erroneously by an automatic credit card fraud detection system like happened to two people here, leaving me unable to do anything on my account for 2-4 days, if the Steam service didn't have to run, and if choosing not to automatically update your games actually worked (I think I kept trying to do that with Mirror's Edge, but the "no automatic updates" setting kept reverting every time Steam restarted). But with those flaws, I still feel like Steam is one of the least obtrusive DRMs I know, and that it works for most people.

I had no idea that retail had securom or I wouldn't have bought it. Now I wish i would have just waited for a good price on steam.
EDIT: So anybody feel like jumping into an early game? On pc of course

Finally got Platinum. It was a blast (no pun intended). A fully leveled Siren with ammo regen, hellfire and certain tools is basically unstoppable.
Oh for some goofiness that I captured.

Finally got around to starting the Zombie Island DLC. The nature of the zombie enemy AI doesn't make it as enjoyable for solo play as I'd like. It's a lot more slower paced and quiet. Hopefully can get some teammates later this week when I continue through. Anyone interested? On 360, and I'm lvl 46.
Im playing as Brick and have the perk that re-spawns rockets, +5 per minute, as well as a class mod that generates +17 rockets.
So why am I not I regaining rocket ammo?
Am I missing something? Does this only work during Berserker mode or am I experiencing some sort of character bug?
Edit: Xbox 360 version

I'm so confused on the Hair of the Dog quest. I need to go to the Treacher's Landing, but I don't know where it is. When I go to Commons West, the quest diamond tells me to go to Commons East and when I go there it tells me to go back to Commons West. =[
Edit: I found it. I have no idea what went wrong before.

I'm honestly thinking of making a straight trade on craigslist for this game. My Modern Warfare 2 for somebodies Borderlands. I'm having just no fun with the game. The only problem is I had the same misgivings about COD4 and regretted ever selling it. Any day now I might pull the trigger and put it up. The only thing keeping me is I want to finally finish the game and unlock all the coop missions. I'm fuckin done with the multiplayer.
I guess my question is are there still low level people to play with. Not just people who are working on their 2nd and 3rd character.
