Fantastic! Yes, I just went and bought Silent Hunter 3 from PC world, and to my amazement the fix works superbly, in a similar way to a non-Starforce fix. I even copied the DVD to the Desktop and installed from there. I wonder if it was just this game that was wasy to crack? Or maybe the crack groups put a lot of work into it, with it being such an important release. Does this mean the hackers have sussed the Starforce protection? Do you think we will get updated fixes for this game, or do you think this nocd will be a one-off for version 1.0 only?

I'm over the moon here. I vowed NEVER to buy a Starforce game again, but being able to make a backup has really cheered me up. I know I may have to resort to IDE channel blocking and Mounting tools with future Starforce games, but I no longer feel these games are 'Un-backupable', so to speak.
