Spellforce 2 v1.02 (SF3.7.16.04 WorkAround)

[TippeX]

yup, totally agree, for the following reasons :

1. user probably downgraded the game from the patch (reasoning : he copies the entire contents of the cd/dvd which most definately will not be the patch 'version')

2. mini image is used to get round the protection (which is practically the same as not doing the patch... actually, not practically.. it is)

3. if pc has to be rebooted this is for sure is the starforce drivers, which i think (if its possible ... cos last time i looked it wasn't possible to downgrade the drivers once installed) is pointless..(and definately not a 'weakness' as stated)

4. this came from a first time poster... call me suspicious, but somehow i'd imagine other users on the forum have tried his 'method', had no success and didn't report it because it actually didn't work

For sure overwriting the files will downgrade the patch.. unless the game works from 'new' files being detected and used (which might possibly upgrade it.. new data files and so on...doubtful though)

And i have to agree with BarryB, this is definately not a crack (perhaps mods/thread creator) should rename the thread appropriately.. 'workaround' for sure is a better description than 'cracked!!'
