otester Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Sorry if this has already been posted a billion times over but... Has ED ever thought of removing it? If so then soon? Ubisoft has so I thought all other developers would? Will BS have it since Ubisoft stopped using it on new products? Regards, otester
VMFA-Blaze Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Sorry if this has already been posted a billion times over but... Has ED ever thought of removing it? If so then soon? Ubisoft has so I thought all other developers would? Will BS have it since Ubisoft stopped using it on new products? Regards, otester I just recently reinstalled Silent Hunter III and actually found out that Game Shadow is the same company as Star Force .. So I'm not sure if they have or not .. But I agree it does give some problems ... I 'm actually one of the lucky one's and haven't really had that many issues.. On my last reformat I did start to have some issues but I have some of the key's stored on the hard drive of one of my other computers.. So it was just a matter of moving the correct files to the right place to open Lock On.... As far as ED removing Star Force, I don't think that this will happen for a while... And the reasoning behind this??? As far ar I know the game hasn't been Kracked.... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR

As far ar I know the game hasn't been Kracked.... ~S~ Blaze 1.12a has been cracked, only if a backed up CD is used (not saying how thou), but the whole point is to be able to play the game without any CDs so that defeats the idea, mounts don't work either, damn SF is good, soon some tools that could defeat it are being released. Also I heard somewhere that SF team encourages dev's to release a patch removing SF after a few months after sales start to die down. I really hope a mountable version works soon, I don't like using SF atm, I don't trust it with my drives.
fretwear Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I don't trust SF either, which is why I installed FC on a seperate partition. I liked the idea of keeping it "quarantined". :smilewink: --------------------- FX 55 Sandy@ 3.03 GHz Tuniq Tower 120 DFI Lanparty CFX 3200-DR/G (2X) X1950XTX Crossfire@ 695 core 2048 OCZ PC 3200 Platinum (2-3-2-5) Antec TP3 650 Samsung 19" LCD (8ms) Saitek X-45 HOTAS Track IR 4 CH Pro Pedals :pilotfly:

I liked the idea of keeping it "quarantined". :smilewink: IIRC, it installs the needed drivers on the windows partitions, I don't think putting it on anothe HD would make a difference at all. If SF is communist spyware then it must be quite intelligent to get around AV protection. My biggest problems I have with SF is that it breaks CD/DVD drive over time, does the SF update fix this? Also as Russia is trying to get further into the WTO, they have to abide by our product rules, FCC would effectively kill SF, so hopefully when FCC covers Russia in the near future we can get this horrible spyware forcibly removed for good! :thumbup: Proof that this may work is that Russian governmetn had to kill off some cheap mp3 sites due to legality issues in the west, shows things can be done.
otester Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 Works for me, I have a dual boot system. ;) Ok but how does that get around the CD/DVD breakage?
fretwear Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Never seen hide nor hair of Starforce when using my cd burner on my C: drive. :) --------------------- FX 55 Sandy@ 3.03 GHz Tuniq Tower 120 DFI Lanparty CFX 3200-DR/G (2X) X1950XTX Crossfire@ 695 core 2048 OCZ PC 3200 Platinum (2-3-2-5) Antec TP3 650 Samsung 19" LCD (8ms) Saitek X-45 HOTAS Track IR 4 CH Pro Pedals :pilotfly:

Really? I don't think so. The Russian Govt may well have killed off some mp3 sites due to copyright/intellectual property rights (good for them). I completely fail to see how you can then tie this to the removal of SF which is a device which preserves intellectual property rights by preventing illegal copying .

SF evades FCC due to it's geographical location, soon it won't matter, FCC will cover Russia and SF will have to abide buy their rules, SafeCom and Securi-Rom are ok from what I've heard, just SF is a bad apple.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Nope, I'm afraid you still haven't convinced me. How will FCC jurisdiction "cover" Russia? There are no US laws that "cover" me in the UK where, for example, I am free to smoke a big fat Cuban cigar if I want to. A UK manufacturer might choose to make a product that will meet both European Union and US standards if he wishes to export to both markets, but that is his choice. If he wishes to sell only to the EU then he won't bother meeting US standards. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....

Well FCC is just an example, I ment laws that state the quality of what a product must meet and interference, don't we have the funny E simply for that in UK?
