There have been some complaints, but by-and-large most players (myself included) have reported having no problems at all.

Oh, and, uh...WELCOME ABOARD!

Welcome to Subsim.

Chances are that if you buy the game today, not only will it be fully patched to 1.4b already but it may be starforce free.

If not, google is your friend.

Welcome to subsim.

I bought SHIII at release, havnt ever had to try to remove starforce or even mess with it. It gives me no woes cept loading up before it loads up. What I mean is, it takes a long while to check the CD to actually make sure its the SHIII disc before it loads the game...

Beware the fury of a patient captain.

Welcome to subsim, from what I gather starforce is universally hated so you in that one instance have something in common with the rest of us.

Welcome aboard matey.

when I first heard about the starforce thing
I looked into it. IMO the rumours are huge
and the danger Minimal at best I dont know
anyone personally that has been affected
by starforce "Wiping out there drives"

I think that its a bit overblown.
Buy the game at todays prices
buy it twice.
