I did actually try this. Removed DVD after authenticity check.
The game continued to run without any obvious problems. I
had intended to replace DVD in drive before shut down but
was so tired I forgot.
The next time I used the drive , which was to transfer some
mods from my internet computer. I found that Nero Incd
couldn't read the disk. My internet computer, on the other
hand, didn't have any problems with it!
I didn't actually try to run SH3 until I had reinstalled Windows
and Incd, so I don't know what would have happened if I had.
I don't even know whether replacing DVD in drive before shut
down would have made a difference.
All I know is, an installation of Nero Incd, which had operated
without problems for a couple of months suddenly failed after
using SH3 with DVD removed from drive.
Conclusive evidence of SF involvement? No of course not!
Just another strange drive weirdness which occurred when
running SH3 with SF protection in place.
Wouldn't have thought too much about it but I had a similar problem later
with myInternet computer installation. This was
even more bizarre - so much so - that when I read my draft
post to Soul Commander, I thought "nobody's going to believe
this ", so I didn't send it.
