Swedish release, region should be changed to Europe & Australia.
MPF somehow doesn't pick up any protection on my end (I can't find any installation files for Origin), but when run with the .ISO in a virtual machine with the base game, the game cannot boot past the loading screen before it gives a "Disc Authorization Failure", as the game fails to verify that the disc is a valid copy. So there is some form of copy protection on here, the only thing I'm wondering is if it is Origin or not? Could it be Cucko?
EDIT: We talked about this in the Discord in #computer-discs. A few of us suspect it might be Cucko.
