Availability
Source | DRM | Notes | Keys | OS |
---|---|---|---|---|

Origin | Can be played stand alone without Origin although you can register the game using the CD key to add it to your Origin account. DRM is in the form of a CD key found in the game's packaging if purchased via retail and is required for online activation. | |||
Steam | Steam does not have a CD key tied to the game, which means that you can not extract the CD key to activate it through Origin. |

Issues fixed

Frame rate drops
Instructions |
---|
- Steam version: If the game ran smoothly at first and then low frame rates suddenly started occurring everywhere, try verifying the game cache.
- Right-click the game in the Steam library,
- Navigate to properties,local files
- Click "Verify integrity of game cache.
- That will hopefully fix the issue, although Steam will download the PhysX files again so you will have to follow the previous step to delete them again.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/17410/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (17410) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
