Daemon Tools 4

[DABhand]

I myself have a raid system running. And ive been using SF games for quite a while now, once I had a problem with a CD being not recognised, other than that ive had no problem, and that one problem I contacted SF about it and they gave me a fix for it, not a problem.


Infact they will help you, if you ask them nicely, they arent the bad guys, they are trying to make a product that stops piracy and doing a good job at it.


Again they give support, but only to genuine users, on their forum you see countless warez users trying to get support but always fall at the first hurdle when they cant provide a genuine key or system information (always missing the important bits out).


Im not saying all people here are warez users, but most are, there is no doubt in that, and its the warez users who are offcourse finding it hard, so when they seen Grumpy's good thread about it, most of them make up the stories and add to it (again not all of them).


When SF starts it authenicates a disc, and that means benchmarking your drive, if your drive's life is about to give way it could cause the drive to die.

Warez users will have more complications, as that is what the protection is designed for to discourage warez issues.


Im just fed up seeing the same excuse each time "SF did this and that" when it could be the simple fact that drives or hardware were dying or were faulty. So immediately they blame SF. Why not Safedisc why not Securom? They do the same thing now. Each place a system file which resides in the windows folder and keeps watch.


If you got alot of genuine SF users and asked how much problems they had, you would probably find a huge amount of them have had no problems. Like everything nothing is 100% and PC hardware isnt generic like consoles, so there will be cases of incompatibility.

All im saying is, look at other avenues first before taking the easy option of blaming SF.
