Starforce 3 games cannot be copied at the moment, so you'll need a crack. Unfortunately I couldn't find a crack, so you'll have to wait until one gets out. Check GCW regularly...

A few questions for you if you would like to comment?

Should I copy the original as a data cd and then wait for the crack?

Do you know of any other games that have starforce that have been cracked?

Reading how complex this protection is I would be surprised if any have been cracked

I think our days of making backups are numbered, what do you think???

Starforce 3 is used in a lot of budget/niche games, that's why it doesn't get cracked a lot and Alcohol120% doesn't support it yet. This will not continue to be, just use your original cd for the time being and sooner or later Alcohol120% will support. I know it sucks but there just is no crack it seems.

@Photoshop Kid:
My german version of WORLD WAR II - FRONTLINE COMMAND is protected with StarForce3. There are already two cracks out for the english version. These cracks works fine with my german version, when i use both together (WWII.EXE from the one / LAUNCH.EXE & Z???.DLL from the other).
