A real solution to the StarF**k virus for everyone.

Here’s a bit of info for you. X2 the threat, the Euro version, having the SF virus, Egosoft the developers where asked by the publishers Quicksilver to remove the protection from the game, and they have. You can now download a unprotected exe file from the Egosoft web site, X2 is now completely unprotected.
Now, could it be that the boycotting and complaints are having more of a effect than we know.

Funny that since its publishers who put on the protections as they are the ones that distribute the game, packaging etc.

Yer it is isn’t it? Maybe they just give the .exe which, btw, is Multilanguage to Egosoft to distribute, dunno really, all I know is it's there and ready for D/L and "Burnit" one of the Devs said that they where asked by the publishers to remove the protection.

And why would a publisher remove the protection from a game over a year old unless, unless he had canceled his contract with the makers of SF.
