nope....as i've already wrote the problem is caused by starforce protection...

yes i think it's a starforce problem.In fact the game crashes during the authorization (when tryes to load the authorization pop up). Just installed a fresh copy of xp sp2 on another HD and Black Shark works with no problems. In the other OS i have Daemon Tools installed , maybe the starforce conflict with that application (i remember in the past Daemon Tools have know issues with Starforce).

Are u sayng that i must ask my money back????????????????????? :mad:

I Have the same proble. Bought BS last night,installed today the game starts i can go to the various menus but if i try to fly a mission (or even to see a demo replay) i got that error and after clicking ok i got the screen of the post mission asking what to do (refly,exit,etc). Im with and ATI 3870 X2 with latest drivers (9.1) and XP Pro SP2.Try to disable Catalyst AI but i can not fix,anyway if i try to launch BS with Catalyst AI set to advanced the game immediately crash givin that error (AppName: launcher.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: atioglxx.dll) Any clue?
