Tirithius Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 instead of spending resources into their stupid ideas, they should upgrade the game engine, if they care so much for the lag. Seconded. Bioware, if you pull this crap I will unsubscribe and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHboy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 What is DRM? Heh I can't recal this term... digital rights management, meaning according to OPs voices (which isn't the right use of DRM) . They are adding in some sort of "hardware check" to ensure that everyone has a minimum hardware specs necessary for running the game. technically game already had DRM you must log into their servers to play, thus can not have a free standing version of the game. however, op is using DRM incorrectly in suggesting they are adding in some sort of magical check to indicate if the player has a hardware configuration that (someone) feels is sufficient to run the game. pay no attention to OP, he is wrong and basically delusional and is spreading misinformation for the sake of misinformation.

The-Kaitou-Kid Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So not only are you a computer expert, you dabble in silicon chemistry as well? He has a point. I'm no expert by any means, I'm in college at the moment for a computer related field but that's as far as I've gone at this point, but you don't have to be to know that this is pretty improbable. Have seen people bake computer parts in an oven, literally bake them, to fix stuff. It sounds stupid but it works because you'd have to heat them up a lot more than the 400F to do any damage while that 400F can reset the solder like they were trying to do. It still sounds stupid to me, and I wouldn't do it to anything I cared much about, but it can be done and you can take a quick trip down Google lane to confirm for yourself. That's also assuming the board isn't in use. When that happened, the person had the board out obviously. Inside a computer or laptop the odds of burning up a component are even lower because there's a BIOS setting that you'd have to manually disable in order to even come close to burning something up. Otherwise your computer will simply shut off if it gets too hot. That's why that setting is there. You still wouldn't melt your CPU or GPU but it's to keep you from damaging other components inside the computer, like melting the solder that keeps them together for example. It's highly, highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA is a distribution company, they market and ship the software. neither of those make any money from the sale of computer hardware. DRM usually implies checks for unauthorized purchases or unauthorized use of software (hence the digital). there is zero (none, nil, impossible) to tell if a persons computer meets any sort of required configuration.

And the fact that you don't understand why that's the case is the reason why this thread should never have been created. You don't understand your own topic. You just made up information, and claimed it was true and didn't even know enough to properly talk about your false information. If this was meant as a joke (at which it would fail even more...) then it belongs in Off-Topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barleron Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If your laptop cpu is melting... you should have bought a cooling pad. I've been using one for years.

You're right, so I will help him. --------------------------- did you also know that with the addition of DRM they will be encrypting your hard drive so that you can no longer modify the game files? I heard that from this guy who knows someone that sells tacos in Austin around the corner from BW Austin headquarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflow_soldering Not going to damage it at 400 F, that's about 205 C and they already heat the board above 215 C when they solder all those components on. As far as bitcoin mining rigs catching fire... Yeah this is totally what my gaming PC looks like http://www.buttcoinfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Bitwasher.jpg http://3s1shj19s0di2dovmhkw15h1.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/The-Superior-mod.jpg Chevy Chase did a better job of cable management in NL Christmas Vacation.
