Hi Everyone,
I have some good news to pass on to you today that answers one of the most frequently asked Dragon Age: Origins PC questions.
We’re happy to announce that the boxed/retail PC version of Dragon Age: Origins will use only a basic disk check and it will not require online authentication. In other words, the retail PC version of the game won’t require you to go online to authenticate the game for offline play. We have chosen not to use SecuROM in any version of Dragon Age that is distributed by EA or BioWare.
Some other cool stuff that we hope you’ll like - we have already launched the Dragon Age toolset beta, which offers developer-grade tools, and we’re looking forward to what fans will create with it. We’ll also be supporting the game with a ton of great downloadable content that will be available for purchase after the game’s release. Together these features will provide some very cool reasons to go online with Dragon Age: Origins.
We’re really excited as we head towards the release of Dragon Age: Origins this fall on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, so keep an eye out for more news as we’ll be providing you with more details shortly.
Stay tuned for more coolness to come…

Re: Dragon Age Origins will only have a cd check
Yay!
Apart from the online activation (which was truly stupid) having to put your DVD in the drive to play is probably THE most annoying thing to do. So whilst not perfect, it's better than online activation (and SecuROM).

Re: Dragon Age Origins will only have a cd check
Its easier to bypass having to put the dvd in the drive then the limited activations. Disc imaging and no cd exe's are much less of a hassle then having to make sure you remember to deauthorise all your games before reformatting your hard drive.M1ke wrote:Yay!

And according to your EULA it is illegal to do any of the two. The EULA on any game states that you may not attempt or circumvent any ani-piracy software built into the game.M1ke wrote:True.Interfan wrote:Its easier to bypass having to put the dvd in the drive then the limited activations.

Re: Dragon Age Origins will only have a cd check
Laws in most countries states you are allowed to make one backup copy of your games/music,ect. Hence making a disc image is making a backup copy which is totally legal.RuadRauFlessa wrote: And according to your EULA it is illegal to do any of the two.

The EULA never overrides the laws of a country which is why many of them fail in courts. Hence disc imaging is very legal, no cd exe's not but no one is going to sue you for using one for personal usage.
