I would guess some very new version of Safedisc with alot of SDAPI's in it.
Perhaps Safedisc 4.6 or something like that... Could of course be SecuROM too but I doubt that... Starforce it can not be because then no PC will be able to play the game the next 10 years...

always safedisc, for doom3 too.
i read its as good as mp in singleplayer, about 90% in a games magazine in germany thumbs up !

After the piracy disaster with doom 3 (most pirated game in history) i wouldn't be at all surprised if they had diched safedisc and gone for starforce.

Well, you can often guess the copy protection, publisher always have some kinda habits in case of copy protections, they often spend lots of money on a copy protection, they cant use a new one every few month

Hi all
Yesterday I bought Quake 4 on DVD
I also found out that:

Copy-Discovery 2000 tells me that Quake 4 is protected with (Quake4.exe = DBPE & a PBSV.dll = SVPK

And ProtectionID v5.0 Final C tells me that Quake 4 is protected with
(SafeDisc v4.60.000) But don't no which file it's in but proberly Quake.exe

Any suggestions on making a working backup ?

the PBSV.dll is punkbuster the game is protected by SafeDisc v4.60.000, the safedisc is what you need to figure out how to hack.

Ok if its SafeDisc v4.??
Then from my seeing on the DVD it has no Bad sectors on it as thats what SafeDisc uses ? or am I missing something in not finding Bad sectors... I will keep experimenting on making a working Copy...

Just glad its not StarForce or Tages
