OK here is what did, I first made an image from my cd with alcohol 120 and then installed it from that image. Next INSTALL THE 1.0 TO 1.2 PATCH I didn't realize that this is the difference between it working and not working. it took me a while to figure that one out. Now go and do the starf***** thing, disable drives, nodes with starforce nightmare, run the game. Enter key. the game should run provided you have an american version, I tried this with a uk version that I down loaded and it didn't work. sorry guys.

Scct !!!!!!
 

Can u guys check this and see if it works :

I'll give it a try and let you know.

Didn't work for me but I didn't have the same model DVD burner and I only had a DVD-RW laying around.

Also, that .MDS file is seems to screw up the directory structure on the DVD somehow. I wonder if it is specific to the UK release.

you could try to write your description in english so it's at least somewhat comprehensible...

I reorganized what VH14a originally posted into an easier to understand, step-by-step format. Note: I have not tried it yet.

1.You need to open up star****v0.83beta (GERMAN VERSION)
2.and then select StarForce 3.4.63.2
3.then click on CD8 DEAKTIVIEREN
4.Then click on EINSTELUNGEN
5.Under "CDRoms befinden sich" select "Am sekundaren Kanal"
6.Under "Patch Type der Kanale" select "Super Agresiv"
7.Under "Ordner Daemon tools" select where you instaled the exe. file of the game(exa. c:/program files/splintercell chaos theory/)
8.click on ANVENDEN.(make sure that you have the proper install key)
9.now disable cd,node etc. with starforce nightmare.
10.mount up full image of the game in damon tools (not Mini image).
11.play the game. Injoy!


Make sure you change device parameters under daemon tools to the following
vender usb 2.0
Model dvd rom
revision 3.0

Maybe it will help someone.

yes but make sure it is american version and you patch the game to v1.2 or it will not work.

thanks :)

VH14a, could you please post the settings that you used in Alcohol to make the image?

doh
dont work
p.s VH14a check PM

data position measurement High.
do not skip read errors
data position measurment read speed 1x.

Unfortunataly, this did not work for me.

the only reason i can think that this works on my system is maybe because my hardrives are raid? nvidia raid 0

Very possible indead. StarForce detects virtual drives by checking to see if the hard drive is being read from at the same time and rate that it is reading from the "CD". So if you are running a RAID StarForce may not be able to detect that the hard drives are being read from. Sound right?? However it may work on your system for some other entirely different reason. You said that you tested it on a different system also. Do both systems have RAID?
