Hello, the only way to finish this game, is to install the patch.
Okay, now i have found a simple way to use the patch and finish the game with the mounted Image in Daemon Tools and also the Updates of the Patch works fine.
First make a backup of the StarforceProtect Application, StarforceProtect.dll 3.7.13.0 and the original Spellforce2.exe you will find in your Gamedir.
Install the Patch and overwrite the three Files with your Backupfiles, that`s it.
It works fine by me and i could finish the game by using the Patch.
Have Fun, hope i could help you.
