quesion with splinter cell 3

Yes, you could write (with heavy rough pen, obviously) on DVD: "BACKUP ORIGINAL GAME"

Power of imagination

Ok, there were others ways at time, as a hack for motherboard drivers with RAID for mount images in it, or write to starforce guys for a personal serial number what bypass scan CDs, and more.

Now, only USB trick, or wait for new DT or crack (not easy)

[drpepp]

i'll wait for the new DT i think lol

[LoxHazard]

Is the best way, for now.

Or wait for the publisher to get rid of this stupid copy protection in some future (final?) official update. Quite some sensible publishers did that in the past...

[LoxHazard]

Yes, is other option, but is quite difficult in this case.

In every update of SC3, the starforce protection upgrade too in each update.

Maybe.

[dvdwildsau]

then try to crack the lowest version

1.0

[LoxHazard]

Before, i refer that devs/publishers don´t think much in a "free protection" patch, because their intention is protect more and more..., and ubisoft have "codegame" version, same game, minor manual and more cheap, then no think in free protection patch in near future, because they release codegame version of SC3 in future.

What version is more difficult to crack, i don´t know, but last patch of SC3 (1.3), is newer starforce version that 1.0, but there are other things more important that version to determine cracking difficult. (number of p-codes for example, or number dlls or data files protected....)

Anyway, all versions of SC3, are extremely hard to crack, and amount a long period of time in it.

I am curious about something. Everyone is saying that StarForce 3 is difficult to defeat. Yet other games claiming to use StarForce 3 seem to have a fixed .exe available for them (Singles 2 and Area 51 to name 2). If they can be cracked, why is it more difficult to crack SCCT?
