Yes, thankfully Ubi announced back in April of last year that they were done with StarForce. Best news I read that day!

Ubisofts latest releases use Securom version 7 copy protection. So I guess this title will be no different.

I'm glad that's one arguement that has finally been settled. The Starforce controversy made for some of the bitterest, most repetitive and annoying posts I've ever read here.

Hasn't SecuRom caused just as many DVD drive problems?

I've already answered many similiar posts... but anyway, I tell you guys once more

THERE WILL NOT BE ANY STARFORCE IN SILENT HUNTER 4

SecuRom will replace it... but I hope that developers adopt a system that don't need to verify the disc when game runs... Like company of heroes Then there will be no disc streches

I wish they'd re-release SH3 without starforce. I wrote to Ubisoft Uk and suggested they bundle SH3 (sans starforce) with SH4.

Glad to hear SHIV wont have it. I recently recommended SHIII to a friend I play Battlefield 1942 with and he went out and bought it and cannot get it to run at all on his PC even though his computer is about a year old. I am thinking starforce is preventing him from enjoying the game.

What happens? Is there some kind of error message?
