Playing "Starforce" protected games. Guide please!

sf game installs drivers, thats why you usually have to reboot...
crack removes the protection from the exe, but drivers are still on the system
which is why you need the removal tool from the starforce company (the removal tool does NOT remove protection from starforce games, its just uninstalls their drivers..)

hardly rocket science... and covered many many times on this forum too...

TippeX thanks very much for the useful information. So the proper method of playing Starforced games without compromising your system and optic drives is as I understand:


1- Install the game.

2- Reboot if needed.

3- According to gamecopyworld's instructions replace the exe with the No-CD/DVD patch.

4- Download the removal tool from Starforce and run it.

5- Restart the PC and play the game. Enjoy!



I am I correct.

Nope, move step 4 between steps 1 and 2 so that the Starforce drivers never activate (that's the reason why you have to reboot).

Thanks a lot Forster for that much guidance. It seems that would make my day! I am posting this precious formula, at least for me, for your review and approval if its correct:



1- Install the game.

2- Download the removal tool from Starforce and run it.

3- Reboot if needed.

4- According to gamecopyworld's instructions replace the exe with the No-CD/DVD patch.

5- Restart the PC and play the game. Enjoy!



Also after installing the game, would Starforce removal tool actually be able to do its job? Thanks again and again and again for your guidance.

If the Starforce drivers have been successfully installed by the game's installation software then the removal software will successfully uninstall them (and they don't get activated). If they are not installed, you will get a message about that. Try it yourself.
