Yes, the Direct2Drive version contains starforce. I had to uninstall then reinstall in preparation for GWX 2 and when i went to activate SHIII it wouldn't accept it. I tried everything and it kept saying my CD Key didn't exist (it is the same key i used for the initial install and got from D2D). It took me an hour of digging online and finally i found a patch that came out last year from Starforce to fix this issue. Once installed it worked fine, but Starforce is the worst crap i've ever ran into, especially since I purchased this game. Next time i think i'll just buy it on DVD and maybe not have such a hassle, but i thought this way would be nicer in that i could burn the .exe and some addons to one DVD and have it all together.. guess you learn the hard way sometimes.
Tool.
