3Sqn_Fudd Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok a few more responses and I think we can peg this to Dual Core issues.... but why 1.12a and not 1.12? http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok a few more responses and I think we can peg this to Dual Core issues.... but why 1.12a and not 1.12? There was a new version of protect.dll released with 1.12a. I think it would be safe to assume that that is where the problem is. I can't get my hands on 1.12 at the moment so maybe someone else can check to see what happens if you apply the 1.12a patch but keep the protect.dll file from 1.12. I've already tried it with the 1.1 versions of SF on 1.12a but needless to say it was futile. Had I access to 1.12 I would'a tried it already (should hopefully have it later today but will only get to test tonight.) Chances are slim but there's no harm in trying!

Manta Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 As you correctly assumed, SF 's blocking Lockon once again. I had to uninstall and reinstall lomac and Flaming Cliff. I'm going to stay with FC 1.1 so far (I need to check SU25T tutorials :) ) and go to 1.12 after that. The issue is related to 1.12a with StarForce, at least that's what I reasonably presume.

post Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 it's compatible The readme says it's not compatible. we played 1.12a and 1.12 clients on 1.12a sever last night. I think there is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hmmm... so much for trying to get the SF included in 1.12 working with FC 1.12a. I patched to 1.12a the replaced the SF files (protect.exe and protect.dll) with those from the 1.12 patch. Whilst SF now actually worked, Lomac.exe sorta "terminated unexpectedly"! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strannick Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Will Black Shark have Starforce? i hope not.... Doenst Ubisoft realize the damage its doing to its good name associating itself with this product? Does anyone know if Black Shark will have Starforce? Im anxiously awaiting it, but after the problems with Flaming Cliffs, i may have to go without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM505 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just for interest's sake, we also played with 1.12 and 1.12A clients connecting to a 1.12A host. So that can work in the interim. Some official response here would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee999 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It must not be a Dual Core issue cause it happends to me too. I have a p4 3.6 HT. But like the previous caller said, don't do anything when the SF screen comes up. It appears to hang at 30% or so, but after a few minutes it WILL load the game. Still a problem I know, but it will load. be patiant till they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 It must not be a Dual Core issue cause it happends to me too. I have a p4 3.6 HT. Try to disable HT in your BIOS and try again. Maybe that helps? I've sent an error report to StarForce today - let's wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Now, that was VERY fast. Not only that ED's support replied to my mail within a few hours :icon_syda - I'd sent the mail with an error report to SF and got a reply 15 minutes later :icon_excl The mail included some sort of license(?) string i had to type in when SF window prompted me. Game started and runs now okie dokie with or w/o disc inserted. You can generate the error report when you press the disc eject button while the program hangs. SF will show some sort of 'info' button, click that and select 'show error report'. An editor window will show up with all info. Send that to support@star-force.com, including a short problem description. I will not post the string here because i have no permission to do so and i think it's coded for my disc anyway.

3Sqn_Fudd Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 FLoyd let us know if thast code actually worked... mine didn't And yes to Multi threaded Intels having problems too... Unfortunate. Has anyone been asked for disk re-check yet? and if you have did you clear it? http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raploc Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Fudd, I'll fux up my new install with 1.12A and send the report. After I get the string I'll change the date on system so FC will ask for the disc. I'll get back asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Do you mean your key didn't work from the beginning or only after the weekly check disc procedure? If i start the game now i don't see any disc activity ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 After I get the string I'll change the date on system so FC will ask for the disc. Changing the date (2 weeks or 1 year) didn't do anything. Game still starting ( w/o StarForce window ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raploc Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Ok thanks for the info, installing FC at the moment. Biggest question that pops into my mind: what about Black Shark?? This will sit ontop of LOMAC and FC, will we again see problems with SF?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raploc Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Ok, I did get a reply from SF. I used the string and it works :D . Set the date to 2006-03-09 and FC asked for the disc and I did not have any problems. SF read the disc just fine. So please if you have the same problem like I did, follow Floyd's advice. It just might work. If not SF will get more info and fix it ( I really really really hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEODARK Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I've sent my error report/log to startforce and ED, lets see if they can fix this. Im really upset that I cannot play my game due to some "protection"... thanks for the suggestions guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yes ! They made it :icon_supe Starforce support fixed it up in no time!!!! :icon_jook My thanks to Alexey Vorobiev! :rolleyes: 150GCT_Manta (Fabio) 150GCT_Manta http://www.150gct.it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflagg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I had the same problem.. Here Alex at star-force had me d/l a 30meg zip file that overwrites serveral files. The problem appears to be resolved for me... email support@star-force.com.. describe the problem and include the debugtxt file that'll prompt you to generate when you manually eject the cd..... now if we can get the F15 sst and tws to work like it used to .....

bflagg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 168th_FUDD.. how did you come about it being a dual processor issue? you were right on the nose.... as per Alex at starforce... it was due to the the dual core AMD processor that I have (AMD 64x2 4400).
