I hope u are right, but i'm not so sure about the return of the old school crackers, some are arrested and the others don't want to get envolve again (that's what i think).

I don't get it, in which side are u?The devs one or the let's first try and then buy(us) one? We are not all rich persons, i can't buy every game, i only buy the ones i tryed and i like. I buy games, but i can't buy everyone i want.

I agree with Kamikaze666 in one thing - as fare as console conversions go, I don't mind about their protection, cos I do not play them anyway.
The point is however, that all games are cracked and you are free to choose whether they are worth paying for or not.

Is Starforce 4 even released? This is just bulshit, BF2 MAY be protected with SF3, but not with SF4,SF5 or SF10

Who gives a shit, Battlefield 2 is for multiplayer only really anyway.

I think that SF4 will not be released for a long time... Just lets think... why should they release... when SF3 is doing a great job... and crackers are far from owning it.... SF4 maybe just SF3 with Win 64 support... if that's the case... I think that SF4 is possible... otherwise we'll not see it too soon... because there's no need...

Don't worry about SF3 on BF2... Come one, the game is about MP and there is no good SP in it (can't be because BF1942/Vietnam didn't have Razz) and it is released by EAGames...

Starforce 4 does not seem very likely as they are doing blacklisting now on SF3 and that means they have kinda reached the "end" of the protection. So any SF4 will probably be written in another way and thus take pretty long to finish...

well doesnt make it easier if they used the sd4 like in sims2 universe and wc snooker 2005 ... and i guess they will Smile

but for sure it will be SD 4.*

sf isnt usefull for it anyway ... sf slows the game which is for online play pretty useless if they protect ingame game functions like seen in splinter cell and others.

Why does this thread even exist?

Are there any actual tech specs on StarForce 4? No? Then what difference does it make?

The fact that they might increment the version number does not really change much of anything else. Assuming that SF4 is going to be any more complex than SF3 is unwarranted. They'll increment the digit when it suits them. It will suit them when they need to resurrect waning sales. That's pretty much all it's for. The distinction between StarForce 3.x.whatever and StarForce 4.blah.monkey is completely arbitrary.

bigger number != better software

If they figure out that more companies will buy it if they call it StarForce Asspork, they'll call it StarForce Asspork...

Maybe the fact that you're intimidated by the number 4 more than 3 is reason enough for them to switch. Good psyops.

Considering how little inroad has been made into SF3 by the regular scene groups I don't think a SF4 is required.

The catalogue of games protected by SF3 and uncracked grows regularly, the cracked library grows a lot more slowly, so SF3 is fine.

Going by SCCT if they want to make the game untouchable from the point of view of the regular crackers they're fine using that same version with the right options on anyway.

SF4 will be a name and not much else to be honest, the 3.4.71.19 version of SF3 was radically different from the earlier versions and could have been described as a SF4 as it introduced a new VM along with a load of new anti-copying features.

BF2 will use Safedisch. Its confirmed.
Don't worry.

PS. The ONLY reason I dislike Starforce is what it does to my computer.
Im buying BF2. And now I can play it without the CD in my DVD-rom. That is a luxury... because its sooo annoying to switch the darn cd everytime I have to play. (I use my DVD-rom for films almost daily.)
