Is Starforce still on SH3

IronFlounder · 07-10-07, 12:11 AM

Call me strange, but i refused to buy SH3 when it was released, because I'd heard enough reports of problems caused by Starforce to avoid it. However, i now notice SH3 has been released as a budget title, Does anyone know if this budget version still uses Starforce or not?.

ReM · 07-10-07, 01:11 AM

The budget title has no Starforce on it, and is patched to 1.4 already.....

uhm, what is starforce?

Penelope_Grey · 07-10-07, 02:44 AM

Starforce is copy protection software which is included on the SH3 disc. Though they are not very well liked are Starforce...

depends which budget version you get, UK version (focus multimedia) has starforce and is NOT patched.

So let me just confirm this.

If I live in North America, and I download the budget title, will I have Starforce on it or not? :hmm:

If you get the download version, yes it will have starforce. If you download the budget version, I believe it will as well. Not sure about the last one, just a hunch.
