Dreamfall The Longest Journey - UK version has Starforce 3 - Help!

[BloodShed]

I purchased the Limited Edition DVD of Dreamfall when it first came out. Unfortunately, even though I live in the U.S., all copies of the Limited Edition are published by K.E. Media (European publisher) and my copy also includes Starforce (build signature 3.07.016.001, 12.04.06).

I completely agree with you, martianrobot; I refuse to install it. Not only has Starforce been known to ruin hardware, it causes other legitimate applications to fail and the drivers run *all the time* eating up system performance and generally making the system unstable. I think it's f'n bullshit when the paying customers are the only ones that gets screwed with this type of... malware "security".

Anyway, I don't know what is wrong with your installation, because my European copy has both init.pak and common.pak in my bin\res directory. However, the problem that I have is when trying to run the "patchit.exe" utility, I get an error:

"No suitable patches were found"

So it doesn't matter. I still can't seem to find a Starforce crack for this game.

THANK YOU! I hate this new download game purchasing system that everyone is trying; especially Steam. I bought a retail copy of Half-Life 2, but because the data on the disc is encrypted, I'm STILL screwed if the service (or my connection) was unavailable. I refuse to support that form of industry.
