Thanks for the good news.

For those of us that are computer challenged, the released version all patched and no starforce is a blessing.

And for those of us who preordered and bought the game full price when it first came out and got the DVD version, we're screwed.

It's bull****, plain and simple.

I should not be required to purchase a game AGAIN just so it will work.

And if you submit a ticket to Ubi, here's the great part, they give you some sort of bull**** about how it's not supported with Windows 7 and tell you to check your video and sound drivers.

Excuse me?? The problem is Star Force, not my video or sound drivers!!!

have you tried to run a virtual CD/DVD-drive, copy your SH3-disc there and run the Starforce-removal tool?
after that you might be able to install ......

(can't try it myself because first my OS is still XP and second I have a Starforce-free DVD)

Look, I also bought it years ago. The price tag on my box says $39.99.

Yeah, it sucks to have to pay again to buy a version without DRM.

But it's either that or jack around with some StarForce removal tool that might or might not screw up other games that use StarForce.

You can rage against the machine, or drop $10 and be done with it.

So true, cough up $10 and be done with it.

Or save $10 and follow the stickied instructions on removing SF. If you're afraid of other games breaking only use the no-dvd part of the instructions and not the actual SF-removal tool. That way SH3 will work without needing a DVD and SF remains for games that need it.

edit: Actually if I remember correctly SF-enabled games automatically install, at least the "unpatched" SH3 does, the SF driver if it isn't already installed.
