Widescreen Gaming Forum

Paddy,

They could have been early testers for the program ??

Ok, I know this is an old post, so sorry for bringing it up. Just want to say that Heroes of the Pacific actually uses SecuRom v7 instead of starforce. I have the game and there's none of those lengthy starforce disc check at startup.

There are even no-dvd cracks for this game, and GameCopyWorld list it as SecuRom v7 also. So don't get deterred, it is a great game.

The only sad thing is that widescreen mode is stretched (and that's how I found this post, hoping to find a solution for the fov).

1st of all :welcome

I just hope SecuRom v7 isn't rooting or putting *sys files in your OS.

You can add SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars to the list of starforce infected games.

A friend of mine bought it (against my advise) Installed the game and played it for 5 hours...then his burner was all messed up and will only run in pio mode.....boycot that sh!t...

EDIT
Apperently only the EU version is infected, the US version uses securom afaik

You're joking? Why does the EU version get the dubious pleasure of StarForce? :evil:

Closer to Russia??

not geography, just star-farce preyed on smaller devs; the big name american devs used safedisc and securom

of course the $5 million class action suit against ubi may have had some effect as to the removal of star-farce

now if someone were to sue on the grounds of star-farce being a trojan, that might get some news coverage

Thank you for that heads up Doug - I was going through a list of possible games, and I don't want anything near Starforce lurking in the depths of my hard drive.

You are welcome my friend :D

I edited the first post with some new info & a link to the constantly updated site's Games List

Also - at first I assumed that the answer to this was a simple, "No." but i've been hearing some talk of starforce on game demos as well. Is there any substance to this?
