Splinter Cell Double Agent, new patch out - no-CD still valid!

A lot of difference when the protection is not the starfarce garbage

It does not madder if you cannot play the game because of the protection or because your hardware is not supported - it still does not work

Well, it does matter, at least a little bit
You can still fix the protection error by contacting either Ubisoft support or the StarForce support, someone there will give you (after checking some other solutions) a 'No-DVD' which works with your DVD only but it doesn't check for it. It will most likely still be protected by SF tho...

Hardware problems aren't as easily fixed, you'll have to buy new one etc.

Normally I would not buy the game in both of these cases.

I really don't mean the hardware sys reqs. I mean bypassing the copy protection in a more normal way not the same way as starfarce (unplugging the drives and all that junk)
