If my DVD drive is on a laptop networked to my PC, will Starforce allow me to use this drive, or will it insist that the drive be local to the PC?

Playing from a network device does NOT work cuz in a network even a dvd device for your PC is only a directory but no device. So the game doesn't find any DVD and asks you to put one in a drive.

I know there are some brilliant minds watching this post and they are just dying to answer some newbie questions. First, I backed up my original using alcohol 120, then I went to burn it, but the rmps box was grayed out... did I do something wrong there? And should I use DVD+R or DVD-R media? And why is there a "no-cd fix" on GCW if that method does not work? Thanks!

I posted a new method to run a backup of SCCT without usb drive here :

How long must you wait until the game started?

I just wanted to confirm that the USB-Drive method works.

I used Alcohol 120% 1.9.5 Build 2802 for reading out the RMPS information and burning the backup DVD+R.
I just have the USB drive installed; no other drives so I can't confirm if Starforce Nightmare is working.

Can I make a small suggestion for all those saying they have got a burn to work etc? As well as listing the program used can you say what type of burner you have used. That way we can work out which are the better burners to use. Thanks

Well, thats a good idea.
I used the Toshiba Samsung TS-H552U for reading out the original, and I also use it for playing with the backup, because my cheap Artec DVD doesn't read the burnt DVD

starforce affects the setup.exe on the cd/dvd what i cant figure out is the copyright act article 168 is that the owner of the original can MAKE 1 backup of her or his ORIGINAL disk now where has our rights gone to make 1 backup with starforce later builds its become almost impossible as the protection isnt just affecting the exe so making a fixed exe isnt repairing the issue at hand and the guy asking about the cd key go take your warez garbage and throw it in the bin where it belongs as NO cd has the same cd serial number not the online serial or the number on the disk you want support try the garbage file share sites you got it from sooner there gone the better sorry for any insults but myself and others make fixed exes for a reason to make the 1 copy of the original thankyou for your time

I think you misunderstand the reason for the law that allows people to make one copy. It doesnt condone this semi-piracy, and doesnt mean that you legally MUST be able to make one back up. That is not your right. You DO have the right to back up the CD's if you are able to. This means that copy protection can go as hard as it wants.

To all the people that make the joke of calling this a legitimate forum for backing up, and then abuse others for mentioning potential warez - What a joke! I bet 90% of the users here are software pirates and you ALL know that. Stop taking the high moral ground.
