SH III Encore edition: Starforce or not?

Antonin · 09-16-08, 07:32 PM

Today I finally received my copy of the Encore edition of SH III. It's a CD-sized pack that contains a SH II DVD and a SH III DVD. The pack is called "Strategic Simulations' Silent Hunter" and it says "2 games in one".

My understanding in purchasing this was that this version of SH III does not have Starforce.

However, on the back of the pack, along with the "Hunt. Hide. Kill" slogan and the screenshots and the Ubisoft, Quicktime, Encore and other logos is a "system requirements" paragraph that says at the end: "NOTICE: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some DVD-RW and virtual drives."

This is the same message that was on my original copy of SH III, the one that caused problems with my DVD drive.

My question: is this a simple case of all the text that was on the original SH III box just being copied onto the Encore edition box?

In other words, does anybody know if this Encore version of SH III has Starforce?

Thanks for any clarification anyone can provide.
