Damn, that sucks, I remember an xbox 360 forum that has modded saves, and thats the only DLC that had the DRM.

And no, I'm not saying I pirated it, I was looking for a castlevania HoD save.
Companies really [b]REALLY[/b] need to stop putting DRM on games and shit, so we can avoid stuff like this. It especially isn't needed if you bought it through steam.
Pirate that shit. You bought it, you have the right to play it, and if their retarded DRM aka the fuck the paying consumer in the ass movement prevents you from playing something you bought, then you're fully entitled to just pirate the thing and play online without the DRM that was supposed to stop you from pirating it in the first place.

Becoming part of the viscious circle behind DRM is not the answer.
I recommend, verifying you game cache, restarting steam then launching the game. When you try access the DLC, alt + tab to the activation program and try again. I had to do this.
Hopefully it works for you Ender.
If you bought it, crack it. You shouldn't have to put up with this shit so don't.

It's not a circle, because someone gets bit in the ass, and if publishers aren't smart enough to realize that DRM doesn't stop piracy and fucks over the consumer, then they can be the ones who get bit in the ass, not me.
This situation doesn't even count. He already [b]bought the game[/b], therefore the publishers have already reaped the benefits. If he pirates it now it will be a mutual transaction when before it was just the publishers taking his money for a product that doesn't work.

yeah, let's just skip possible solutions that will let it work with his legit copy and skip to the drastic solutions
I'm just curious, is it still illegal to crack something you payed for? You're modifying it in a way not intended, so is there some unspoken rules or is it mentioned in like the user agreement everyone skips, etc?

How about explaining to me why cracking his [b]paid copy[/b] is drastic?

Who really cares honestly? I highly doubt it, but honestly, I respect the developers, not the publishers. I love developers but publishers are fuckbags and I couldn't care less about their ridiculous TOS agreements if the Devs are still getting their royalties.
You should try to open the manual activation tool with administrator rights.
[QUOTE=Fippe;24318444]What? It has securom, I'm pretty damn sure about this.

[URL="https://support.securom.com/pop_borderlands.html"]Yup it does[/URL][/QUOTE]
That's the downloadable versions. The retail pack of Zombie Island and Moxxi just had a CD-Key.

Did that

[QUOTE=Lance99;24318382]Wait, german version is the censored one, with separate patches and shit. Strange...[/QUOTE]
Activation helper was in german :aaaaa:
And that didn't do it?
You could try to manually extract the needed files by extracting the activation helper file you got there by opening it with WinRAR.
Maybe you can get the DLCSetup.exe - the actual activation tool - out of there this way.

Not illegal.
It is illegal.

Going around the copy protection is illegal.
I'm reinstalling borderlands. Hopefully I don't lose my game saves...
Well nowadays they eventually release patches that forgo the need for discs and in some cases they don't include it to start with.
