I too will not tolerate this. I don't blame you one bit. It happened to me too.

You can be as civil as possible and then they pull this crap. Not professional at all. We have legit complaints and they ignor them.

Thank you Sir! It is much appreciated!!!!

You may also tell them if you'd like, that I do not plan on purchasing ANY more games that use SF until I am COMPLETELY satisfied that ALL issues are resolved. That may only be $50.00 worth per game to them, but I'm reasonably sure that I'm not the only one, nor doubt that there'll be others who feel the same.

I made a list of English versions. Please note, there are German Russian etc versions of some games that were not Starforce but are in other countries. I am also not aware which version of Starforce does what. But, in principle, I will avoid any thing with Starforce until the get back from their trip up that River in Egypt!

Just an update:

See what happens when you threaten a company with an investigation and possible lawsuite. See what happens when a company knows they stepped on the wrong toes!

Excellent grab SC....this is the war...these lame copy protectors are not getting the job done...they just don`t recogonize all the drivers and pathways that will have to be implemented to protect "our" software providers...they neeed to take their time and initiate a solid of pro`s and not a bunch of hack/crackers to make something substantial....

I want the major game makers on the same page as the rest of us...something has to work for everyone....improvision willl not work...it has to be solid and researched...IMO..

Hmmm, Norton considered a "legal" copy protection as a risk. :lol:
They should do the same with StarForce. :hmm:

Soulcommander 11-13-05 11:30 AM

I agree with the above 2 post's!

More news guys on the Sony issue. Microsoft takes a step against SONY!!!
So I would say to the fellows at Microsoft a big thank you this time around!!!

If Microsoft does such thing, then Sony should go back and delete that protection system.

kiwi_2005 11-14-05 12:47 AM

Well there is a way around SF, i have discovered it from another player he told me to instal ******** sorry can't mention it cos last time i did the post misteriously disappear. But since using it, SH3 loads up in 3, YES THREE seconds & yes i did time it. SH3 editor loads up in 2 seconds. I get no weird noises coming from my dvd writer, SF protection is deleted, yet the program i installed fools SF in thinking its still installed.

I dont even need to insert the dvd to play :)

This program will probably solve 99% of SF issues but the stupid thing is in some countries New Zealand not included, its illegal? :hmm:

Kiwi, myself and others have found bugs introduced by the latest no-CD crack.

Some of us consistantly have our subs destroyed when diving or surfacing to/from reasonable depths. No enemies around, etc.

Use at your own risk.

I'm referring to SH3's, for v1.4b, in particular.

kiwi_2005 11-14-05 01:27 AM

I did find one problem, after using it, SH3 with RUB1.45 refused to load. I deleted RUB and she was ok.... Hmm maybe RUB1.45 has SF protection,

:rotfl: :rotfl:
