If the process comes up as "SecuROM" in the scanner I might be tempted to say the same thing.  Why would it come up as such when it's really something else? Has anybody else with a working web site stepped forward with better information yet?
Because the full SecuROM suite and this little release date controller are both Sony programs, and this thing was probably made by the SecuROM department as well. The scanner calls it "SecuROM: Sony Release Control". Anyone reading it as "SecuROM: HIDE YOUR CHILDREN" is misreading it. |

Too funny.... I am about thirty hours into the game at this point. SecuROM has not taken over my PC (as far as I know). Nor have I been banned in anyway... yet. 
I needed to take a break and get ready for an appointment I have so I thought I'd check out the site... I was so not surprised to see the two threads exploding with negativity and rabid posting. 
Either way... what ever floats your boat, I guess. I know I've been mad as Hell in the past when a game wasn't released the way I had hoped for. So I can sympathize a bit. That's also why I don't follow them so closely anymore. Less chance of getting let down. 
But seriously some of you need to check yourselves to see if you're foaming at the mouth. |

| To be more technical it was logged from a program called "Process Monitor" with a path executable to "C:\Windows\system32\UAService7.exe" named "SecuROM User Access Service (V7)" and I just called it "SecuROM: Sony Release Control" (Because that better defines it) and yes luckily is did "self-destruct" but as a user that demands all control over my system, if I wouldn't have been informed of this here at blues I would have never known to look. |

Derek came here willing to discuss this with you guys.
Maybe we can maintain a somewhat civil tone with one of the last developers you guys haven't chased out of these forums?
Now Blue, you know better than to expect civility on the Interwebs...or logic for that matter. |

There is no running process once it unwraps and self-destructs.

An inert registry entry that does nothing.
its still on your HD
In a temp folder that is never referenced again. This part is sloppy and should be cleaned up, though. We will see about doing that in a patch.
CRUSHBUG! Glad to see you again!
Thanks for the clarification, and are you on the main Bioware Dragon Age 2 team or the Live/DLC team?
And how much of my soul would you like to make the Golem in the Emporium a party member? (I miss Shale). |

. . . you just said in your previous comment "I was utterly amazed when I looked at the running processes and saw "SecuROM: Sony Release Control" running." I'm confused, did it properly self-destruct for you?
I checked both in game and at the launcher and there's no such process running on my computer at least.
Also, thanks to the Bioware employee for clarifying that it's all release date check related. |

Lets just hope it self-destructs on EVERYBODY's computer. So that they don't have an ongoing process running on their computer. Otherwise what I said will be true for some. And Derek we appreciate your communication here on blues. Much Respect!
PS...If Mass Effect 3 is as good as I hope, I will personally forgive this whole Dragon Age 2 debacle(all 20 sides of it)....cant say the same for everybody tho. |

This. You (Bioware), and EA in the process, broke a court order. I'll let that sink in, Derek, plus the fact you actually come here to try and dispel things suggests me that EA is in full damage control and may be aware of the possible and terrible legal fallout that can happen to them if someone steps forward to file a charge for breaking a court order.
And I'm betting if such a charge is filed people would find the DRM in more recent games. |
