Developer website | ||||
GOG.com | Despite being sold as "DRM-free", online activation is used whenever the game is able to contact the metaserver, and an algorithm check is performed even if the metaserver is unreachable. Using a bad CD-key blocks the game, and using a demo key restricts certain features, even in singleplayer games. If the metaserver is unreachable, multiplayer is only possible by manually specifying the server IP. | |||

Steam | Activation key is requested from the developer server after verifying Steam account ownership. |
- All versions use an activation key for multiplayer. The hash of the key is sent to the server, which validates it against the metaserver, removing the player if it is bad.
