Starforce: Sniper Elite

[kre]

1) Yes, crack works (older, more simple sf-version)
2) No. Drivers will not be installed, if you copy over crack before starting the game first time. In that case you won't be asked by starforce at all.
3) No probs with installed other software like DT or others.

@Joe Foster: Are you sure, that while installing the game Starforce drivers will be automatically also be installed and not by clicking yes when starting the game and rebooting?
If you are, I never noticed this. What a shame for me.

The Starforce drivers are installed (or activated) right at the beginning of the execution of the software. (The installer could also be protected by Starforce but only a lighter version of it: it would be weird to have to reboot and get infected only to be able to start the installation!)

Still, if the installer does install the Starforce drivers, the remover will remove them (don't reboot before removing them!) and then they won't get any chance to activate!

I'm not a protection expert, though, and try to keep away from Starforce-protected titles, so I haven't tested many games for when they infect your PC with that copy protection.

Thanks for the support...

so there could be 2 cases...

One: The game installs normally and dont ask to reboot...so I just run the removal tool, crack the game ans play...

Two: The Installer install the malicious drivers automatically, asking for reboot...in that cae, before rebooting, I run the removal tool, then reboot, crack and play...

Am I right??

[Joe Forster/STA]

Yes, I would suggest that you run the Starforce driver remover anyway, when the installation has successfully finished, no matter whether you see the reboot confirmation window or not. (Though, I don't think it would install the drivers silently, without any notice; especially, that it needs your PC to be rebooted anyway!)

Since it will be released by UBI it will probably be the most severe version.

Nothing that cave unplugging cant solve, right?
Im still a n00b...this is my first sf game, but I heard that no sf game is unplayable without cd...am I right?

I always have to pick my games carefully due to my low budget...and I really cant afford to lose one of my games due to cd/dvd continuous usage...thats why I NEVER use my originals, but only backups,images or cracked versions...Im quite proud of my little collection, and I intend to make it last until I die.
