If you ask me the fault isn't in Microsoft's court regarding this, this is in the court of whoever made that crap to begin with. Game DRM of any kind needs to die in a fire.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#407484">In reply to trparky:</a></em></blockquote><p>DRM and anti-cheat are two different things. How fun is playing an online game if the person you are playing against is cheating and has an advantage?</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#407484">In reply to trparky:</a></em></blockquote><p>It is a third party and Microsoft are still waiting for a fix from them, which is why they appologized yesterday for not releasing a slow ring in a while.</p>

    <p>But the ISO available for download is still 18290. It's like they don't care.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#407495">In reply to bws2a:</a></em></blockquote><p>ISOs typically only match Slow Ring releases.</p>
