I wouldnt say short run since the same protection has been out there many months now.
What i dont understand is how did the SF team manage to make a protection that no cracking group can brake. Did they come from the future or something ?

I agree, I haven't defined the word "short" correctly. ;) But it might be possible that some jury rules out Starforce, as a too invasive copy protection, and orders all publishers to release official updates for all their Starforce'd games, to remove the copy protection. Who knows?

(Damn, I woke up...!)

Does the Reloaded crack only work under XP? I've heard reports of it not being able to load KTGame.Dll and crashing under Win98, could someone with Win98 try the game if possible with the reloaded crack DVD and 1.2 patch and confirm this.

*EDIT* DOH! Just looked at the Spec, WinXP/2000! Teach me to post without checking :)

If that really happens, I'm the luckiest guy on earth...
All the Ubisoft games like SC 3, POP 3 and GTR & GT Legends without StarForce at all :)
It's too good to be(come) true :(

You have got to hand it to the guys at starforce though...lol a 2+GB crack...
I have just finished downloading it...

I am sure someone will release a small 'normal' crack for it soon enough:confused:

bet on soldier
 

The game is a load of pants in my opinion, im surprised its had such a lengthy thread ! There are far better first person shooters out there.

The starforce discussion is interesting though, hopefully we'll see some more games cracked by the likes of RELOADED soon !

Totally agree with Joe on a jury ruling that these games should be updated with a patch that rids the install of starforce code.

Watch this space all.

Yeah starforce is really a´problem you cannot do nothing against this protection

lol, you can ! But it takes a lot of time and effort to do so

StarForce games losing money?!!!
 

Well, I have noted something rather interesting... StarForce protected games seem to drop in price more and faster than games with other types of protection! Just bought a NEW BOXED copy of BoS yesterday for less than $10!!! And I have been noticing MANY OTHER StarForce games are in the bargain bin now, while many OTHER games that have been out a LOT longer are still enjoying sales on the "regular" shelves!

Guess THAT will teach those game publishers who are using SF to get rid of it or start losing money!

Actually, when I bought the copy of BoS yesterday I didn't realize that it was SF persecuted... err, I mean protected!... or else I would probably have left it on the shelf, even at the reduced price. ...In fact, I will probably box it up and return it tomorrow if I can't find a decent no-cd crack for it! Just HATE the idea having to have SF on my system!

Maybe they just noticed the number of sold copies decreasing faster than expected. Seems like many people eventually start avoiding SF protected games :)

lol how funny this is...

I just bought the game for $4.99 at Big Lots

Is the original disk emulatable ?
