Of DRM and Free Stuff
First, I've read about DS2's drm, doesn't sound so bad IF IT DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO JOIN another game client or mailing list. Well, does it? I hope not.

Second, I've read about the free stuff you get from the very beginning. This is a game-breaker for me. Is it still the case that, from your first playthrough, you get the high-powered armor and weapons from the get-go?


Just making sure by asking.

I don't know but you can just play this game in Origin instead of Steam.
Ok then. I guess I'll take that into consideration.

Wait, do you mean I have to download it from Origin using the Steam copy's code?
Yes. I don't know if it add automaticly to your Origin library after signing into your EA account in-game from Steam but you can probably also run Origin program and added CD-Key there.

So, the "download and use the original .exe" solution still works? I thought that Steam would automatically detect it and download the newer version?
Sorry, my bad, I had thought the auto-updates would write over the original exe, but I tested it, and it doesn't do a check when you launch.

That means that dropping the original exe into the game folder still works on Steam.

Be sure to reset your controls to default, even if you didn't change them. That's something we found long ago where it would bring up the weapon select menu for all movements. Reseting fixes that.

I updated the PCGaming Wiki with those details. Thanks to [PL] kamil950 for sharing that.

I think that still activate Dead Space 2 from Steam on Origin (and download and install from Origin) is easier and better than change exe on Steam. I'm not sure if unlocks for completing the game and multiplayer work with diffrent exe on Steam. [Sorry for my English.]

I see. Well, I really don't like installing another distribution platform (Origin) just for this. But thanks for a further advice.

I'd have to agree, as the finishing bonuses will work correctly in Origin, but not the original exe version off Steam.

I had read that the Origin version had this junk patched in too, is that true?

I have just finished downloading and installing Dead Space 2 in Origin. I got DS2 from Humble Bundle.

1. The Origin Client asked me if I wanted to update it. HELL NO!

2. In-game, it asked me to give my EA account (email and password). What is this for?

I did not register in-game, and it told me that I will not receive additional content yada-yada-yada.

But, what additional content does the in-game registration provide, anyway?

Ah.

Okay. Unfortunately, the Origin copy of DS2 is stupidly nerfed. It's got all that garbage DLC crap, and I have the original un-updated version 1.0 of the exe file.

I have uninstalled it, and am now reinstalling it.

I'm sorry to say, but it's not the least bit scary anymore. Too bad.

PS: GLOB-DAMMIT! I had Origin's game auto-update enabled! CRAP! It took me a week to download DS2!

...redownloading. Hopefully, when I play this and reach the first store a second time, I'd see no ^*^%#(*! free crap that nerfs the whole franchise.

In the meantime, I think I'll be playing DISHONORED, Shadow Warrior...or F.E.A.R. 3

Ok, downloaded DS2 for the second time in Origin. No auto-updates. Reached first store. Free crap still there.

What the hell do I do now?

You heard right.

UPDATE: Yes, even the Origin copy, even if un-updated, comes with the crap-DLC. Even if played offline from Origin. Replacing the exe with the pre-patch exe will give out a missing activation.x86.dll error, so that workaround will never work anymore.

I sincerely regret buying the EA Humble Bundle that led me to get Origin, in hopes of finally playing DS2 without the crap-DLC. I feel like I've been robbed by EA. Thank God I got it from Humble Bundle though, so that much of my money went to charity instead.

Will now try and contact EA tech support in hopes of a solution.

Have you tried this? It gets rid of the DLC?

Yes, I know for sure that this still works on Steam version, I tried it a couple of months ago.

So...let me get this straight:

1. Replacing the STEAM exe file _will not_ result in the game getting its exe file auto-updated
to the DLC-infected version?

2. Replacing the STEAM exe file WILL allow you to play the game WITHOUT the DLC?

PS: Please accept the friend invitation I gave you so that we could talk thru Steam chat. Faster comms than the forum.
