If I want to play SecuROM protected titles on Windows 10, how do I do it?

Interested in playing older games like STALKER, GTA IV, Crysis etc.

I don't know about SecuRom but GTA IV works fine in 10. RG haven't modified the graphics though.

They had removed requirement for social club using a patch earlier. I will have to check if there is a patch for removing SecuROM.

Still working for me though. No idea what securom is.

Only matters for those who have "genuine game cd with securom protection".

Yeah. I am not sure my DVDs still work though. It has been a long time since I touched them.

you can probably redeem the key on steam, or rockstar. Just check.

I have a genuine GTA IV disc.
Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced my discs that were bought few years back but due to my old computer I could not play. Now that I have finally setup a new one, missing disc.... at least you play.

If it is working then no issue but if in future it stops working then there is always "ahem" way of doing it.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is problematic with the cars and shit in ahem version. They gets weird control.

It is 900 something on Steam now. I remember buying the DVD for 499 or so from Nextstep/xxxxxxx (forgot the name of website) which was exclusively a game seller. And now I have misplaced that DVD.

I had never tried any NoCD cracks because I hardly got to play it before my HD4670 kicked the bucket.

I don't play games so I may be wrong but there is a difference between complete "ahem" version & a genuine version with "ahem" launcher to bypass securom.

Both are same technically. Morally there is a difference.

Yes GTA IV in 10 sucks. Many users complained about it so RG released a patch which is not very helpful.
