Bon Voyage: New Patch.. New Issues
Deviancy:
When the screen goes blue does it freeze the entire system, or can you ctrl, alt, del back to the desktop? Securom is known to suck up ram fast, that can cause lockups like what you're experiencing. But I'm not sure on your video card, how much ram you have or if you're using a creative soundcard.
As for the anti redundancy hack..
Most are leaving it in from what I've read so far.
Unless the next expansion has something really, really neat.. I'm avoiding it as if it was the plague.

Unfortunately, EA has put us in a really sticky situation. I have the patch (although I wasn't experiencing any serious bugs), and I still have the anti-redundancy installed. Chriskay, I'd still get anti-redundancy to be on the safe side. I seriously hope EA does things different next time around. You know it's bad when the sheeple are getting angry and calling each other sheeple.

Hi guys...i installed the patch, but i don't have a seperate hack for the tour guide thing...the only thing i noticed after the patch was when it is time to go to work the que shows up to go and they change to the appropriate clothes, but if anything gets in their path to go to the car the que disappears and i have to click on the car to get them to go to work...i'll keep playing and see if anything else occurs...

Well, the screen goes blue and I can do nothing at all for - say - a couple of minutes, then the image returns and I can do whatever I wish. I usually save the game and go on playing, but if I get it twice I exit and reset. This is very annoying.
As I'm not using a creative soundcard and I've just added extra ram (and experienced no improvement), the blame must fall either on the Nvidia viedo card (but this is the only game with problems) or on Securom. Is there any safe way to remove and/or disable Securom?
Deviancy:
There's a way to remove securom but if you do so, you can't use the new patch for the game. If you remove securom you have to use a nocd crack on Boy Voyage to play the game. The new patch installs the new version of Securom which is worse than the version of securom Bon Voyage currently uses. And there's no legit nocd crack for the new patch, the old nocd crack supposely works but hrmm.. it's really confusing..
A nocd crack is written to overwrite the executable file..
A patch generally overwrites the exectable file with fixed data..
Using the old nocd crack overwrites the patch and any fixed data on the patched exe will be taken out..
Does that make sense?
I've been discussing this on MATY all day so I'm kind of burnt out..
But here.. read this..

I included every little detail of how this works and then there's a link to the instructions on how to remove securom. But make sure to read every little thing..
The instructions were made for Bioshock players but they work exactly the same with the Sims..
