heh heh, I heard Direct2Drive version has StarForce encryption also... with only 5 activations... meaning you can only install it 5 times then you are screwed and have to buy the game again. getting ridiculous, no publishers are going to use StarForce since it has so incompatibilities, except of course UBI shitware.

i refuse to buy chaos theory for 2 reasons

A) StarForce proteciton
B) NO DVD DRIVE

that means if they had a CD format and non-gaystar protection I would actually consider buying the game,


i actually think it would go more like this: cd+no sf3 == there would be a release out == you'd say "bah, i don't buy this shit games are too expensive anyway/this game is crap/i can't buy it where i live/insert other stupid excuse here.

Damn I hate strarshit right now man. It has fixed all ways to get around except the USB-DVDROM. Hope a release is very soon.
Btw. I found the game Obscure (c) Microids here on nforce and it says it has also Starforce 3 protection and Reloaded released it, so how come they don't release SCCT which has the same protection.
Damn it.


Im not sure if this is in the right section (mods). Could be considered both.
Sorry if its not in the right area Sad

StarForce Official Site Comparison Page
http://www.star-force.com/protection.phtml?c=95

I take it SC3 has StarForce Professional 3.0 which is why it so hard to crack, if u look at the features.
I guess this is most expensive and not all company's opt for it.

But, since SC3 is on D2D, and there has to be protection on it, would it be the last package? StarForce Proactive 1.1? Anyone?
The last option seems like it'd be rather simple for the crackers of the groups. Since i checked out the site, i can't understand why its not out since SC3 is on D2D. Maybe the groups dont wanna have to buy it with their money only to release it for free to thousands - since they prolly have orig dvd? i dunno

Anyway dude, if u have anymore Starforce questions, i suggest posting it to the sf protection thread. Same goes for securom, safedisc etc
I think most would like to keep this thread to specific things about the game...and while the protection is specific, we've already had enough posts in the earlier days of the discussion to cover SC3 and starforce...hence the reason a thread was created by Razor, i think Smile

hope info helps

consider there are numerous post with installation instructions and what it does or doesnt work with, yeah it is a problem. Ppl have posted nfos, own experience's, other's exxperiences etc the only way to play any cloned dvd of scct is with an external drive
nothing else works
daemon comes out soon (according to site), then i suspect maybe starforce will be pwned. but until then, there is no workaround except the usb option

Im sorry if im repeating a question but i cba to read all 19 pages which mostly consist of "OMG WTF I H8 STARFORCE!1"-posts.

This usb-drive-thing, is that only a external dvd drive or could u, for example, use a usb2.0 mp3-player somehow?

sc3 works with sf nightmare and tntsux mini image?
u can confirm this?

oh btw, again today, cuz i was bored, i fucked around with sc3 and the latest alcohol...its seems to me that the mini image, the gcw one, will work...but the key i have isnt compatible with that image

Considering i have only found 2 keys, one worked one didnt, i dont know how to go about obtaining the right one.
Are serials listed in the new mini image? if so, i think it may just work
or maybe im hoping to much

Actually I don't think it will work (at least not with the current alcohol/deamon version).
That 'this is not the right cd-key error' pop-upped at my pc also when mounting mini-image or mounting the clone. A few hours ago I tried it with an external DVD-drive, using the same key, and that worked fine. So I don't think the cd-key is the problem, it's just that the mini-images won't work. (well, I guess it is)

To everyone who keeps asking, for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory u need the following:
USB 2.0 (not 1.1) External Dvd Drive or IDE to USB adapter casing or cords only
U need a speific mdf file that is 38Kb - doesnt matter what "version" u have (all the same retail shit)
High Precision DPM File and u gotta burn it with RMPS at 1x with latest alcohol version

There's no mini image trick, crack, emulation tool etc that will work
Its very specific
All above info is taken from various msg boards (nforce, cdfreak, german sites, isonews etc). Every site that appears when u do a google search in relation to this crack has the EXACT same info on it.

and StarForce Nightmare/Starfuck doesn't work


Do you think my Dell laptop DVD player via a USB lead to my desktop would work?

msnes, ur right

Starforce doesnt have unique keys
rather area keys, i was reading about this earlier, which is the reason why i think it will work if u have the right combo of things
For instance, I make a working image of sc3 north american version, then a mini image of north american version, bundle it up, include NORTH AMERICAN serial number.
They're region coded, and I dont see why this wouldnt work....+ plus ive read some posts on other forums where ppl have said they used this method, but they didnt confirm and no one else could...
Since there are French Euro and a german euro floating around, maybe we need a mini image of the german (or french) one, with a german region serial key
since all versions are multi-lang, i dont see a problem...
maybe im wrong, but from all the different ways ive tried to get sc3 to work, it does sound promising.

And btw, there is a CD version of SC3 on PC....google it

Cool. What exactly would I have to do - disable the DVD drive in my desktop I assume (do Starfuck and StarForce Nightmare do that?) What's a "High Precision DPM File"?

Goto alcohol's website, google it. Hit there forum, there is a whole section
devoted to it. Basically, it reads the physical data from the dvd, if iam correct, could be wrong.
As for other instructions, on page 16,17,18 there should be an nfo file posted with the exact steps to run the clone dvd from an external drive
