Darkc0der cracks Dead Space DRM

Darkc0der has done it again. Another major SecuROM protected title cracked by this non scene ‘one man cracking powerhouse’. Darkc0der has released a modified paul.dll file for EA’s Dead Space, which has the SecuROM DRM removed. Using the fixed dll allows legitimate players and pirates alike to play the game without online activation and get rid of any other DRM limitations. Apparently Darkc0der’s fix works with the previously leaked Clone DVD release as well. The following lines are quoted from the .NFO:

"Darkc0der: Gladly I was faster than razor1911 this time."

Indeed he was.

Developer Description

The Dead Space experience is all about surviving in its sci-fi world through strategic dismemberment, so experience the horror before the Necromorphs dismember you. After all, you are never truly safe in Dead Space. When an immense mining ship, the USG Ishimura, comes into contact with a mysterious alien artifact in a remote star system, its communications with Earth are mysteriously cut off. Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to repair the Ishimura’s communications array, but he arrives to find a living nightmare—the ship is a floating bloodbath, the crew unspeakably mutilated and infected by an ancient alien scourge. Clarke’s repair mission becomes one of survival as he fights not just to save himself, but to return the artifact to the planet … at any cost.
