i remember people laughing at people saying this is the end of warez, well peeps, its not the end, but its sure a MAJOR problem.
to be honest, i never thought this day would come, when a game (actually 8 ) stays uncracked for 6 months

That's exactly what I thought about... What do they change...?? probably encryption or something like that... or maybe they are playing a "scare game"... they just pretend to change something, to "scare" the crackers...

i was thinking another thing, maybe they make only minor but frequent updates only to prevent crackers to patch their drivers...
remember second sight carbon release with the drivers trick? i think carbons files works with every game that has the same version of starforce used by second sight...
can be a reason?

It can be a reason... They change just one thing with every release, so SF3 seems to have no pattern... or this makes the pattern hard to find...

Yup, of course it's all just done for fun, just version number change...
That or it's software that's constantly under development. Those who've analysed it could tell you that 3.4.71.19 was quite a big upgrade from previous versions as far as the VM goes.
RE: The encryption, it's not the mainstay of the strength of it all, it's probably just going to be a 1-time XOR pad or a minor variation. Question is obtaining the pad.
And no, they don't sleep, it's why SF3 is the best games protection scheme to date.

Take it easy, guys.
Starforce minor version updates may be related to compatibility fixes.
I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy next to me.

What do you think maybe the worst (the hardest to crack, or preventing cracks) part of SF3...
1. Antidebugging mechanism...
2. Encryption of exes and dlls plus encryption of other files...
3. VM...
I know that's it's all of the above plus some more... but on which of the above crackers spend the most time... How do you think...

USB DVD doesn't work...  |
bingo - Insert chaos theory dvd in another drive... |
But what if someone hasn't got another drive... It's stupid that he will have to buy an ATAPI drive just to play SF3 games... They probably couldn't fix it another way... so they disabled USB DVD support... |
Thats why most are awaiting the crack.......

ICQ Starforce and ask them, numbers are on their website.
Stupid numbers it won't be.
While you're at it ask them for the source code.
