A
Steam community announcement has word that a new patch is live in
Borderlands removing the SecuROM DRM from Gearbox's first-person shooter and
paving the way for Steamworks multiplayer in a future update following the
shutdown of GameSpy multiplayer support (thanks
BeyondUnreal).
Here are the patch notes:
- Removed SecuRom from the title and all DLC
- Added a “Granting Tool” In the steam “Tools”
section that turns a retail disc into a Steam version of Borderlands
- “News Ticker” added to the main menu to give you
updates on the Multiplayer restoration updates.
- Imported SecuRom DLC keys into Steam, so if you
bought DLC outside of Steam, activate it within Steam and get your matching
content.
