Nope, it's with Atari, and it concerns SecuROM. I was doing a bit of research/link chasing, and every game site that had an issue with the DRM had the same stuff regarding generating a report. Part of it included attempting to troubleshoot on the client side, and included instructions to turn off any antivirus software. Now, my initial thought was "What is SecuROM trying to hide that it needs people to disable their anti-virus software to run/install a game?" Seems kinda strange to me.
