Biggest threat to the SOW series

[ManicGibber]

I bought Forgotten Battles in early 2003 after reading about it in a pc magazine. I then bought AEP and PF and finally 2 separate copies of 1946, I must be a fanboi. I didn't buy PE2 as I don't like the idea of paying money for a tiny amount of electricity that is used to transfer binary code to my hard drive LOL and I refuse to buy over the internet anyway and I refuse to use internet banking.

I'm at the stage now of seriously thinking about using a no-cd hack because I'm sick and tired of having to restart 1946 because secure-rom is such a poorly written piece of malware it can't recognise my pioneer dvd drive. I forgot to mention how long it takes to decide to work or not work for that matter. Normal load time is one minute-plus in which I have to sit twiddling my thumbs anxiously waiting to see if the game is going to load or crash or say "insert the original dvd in the drive". I know one minute isn't all that long, it's just tiresome not knowing if it will load after one,,,,,,,,,,,,whole,,,,,,,,,,minute,,,,,,,,,,,. It happens so often that my grey matter has now been re-programmed to expect it to fail, one minute has now turned into two,,,,,,,,,,,minutes. My wish is that secure-rom goes bankrupt in the not too distant future.
