different methods of anti-piracy ?

I see as a "civilised" protection FADE-system applied in Armed Assault 2... basically if .exe file is not genuine - some fetures in game behave in vierd way, spoiling the gameply... so far not cracked

But apparently it is beyond "Ubi brains"...

FADE was there already in OFP IIRC, it's cracked... ages ago.

Indeed, in some rare cases it even screwed up your legit copy, where the publisher had removed the copy protection/DRM.... happened to me.

I still think the most effective way to encourage sales is to just use cd key authentication for online play and/or patching. The truth is even when you come up with something impossible to crack, the end result is those that pirate will most likely not buy the game anyway. They'll end up moving on to something else. :S But crippled functionality in game is like an itch you can't scratch. Some will pay to get rid of the itch.
