Hello,

I have a technical question about installing different SF protected games on one PC:

I have Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory installed on my system. Its working as mds/mdf image with DT4 without unplugging drives with using the program called "StarFuck".
OK, as we know SCCT uses an older SF version which was easy to bypass.

If I am now going to install a newer SF protected game like KingKong or PoP-TTT, can it happen that the "older" game already installed (SCCT) will no longer work as before (with image and starfuck) because the newer drivers installed by newer SF games prevent the use of the image on DT4 also for the older SF protected game???

thanks for help

This is not a problem because you can uninstall all SF3 drivers and when you try to run the old game it will automatically reinstall the old drivers again. You can get the official removal tool here: http://onlinesecurity-on.com/downloads/sfdrvrem.zip

Then you have to reboot & it would be annoying to reboot just to play a game...

I was asking myself the same question a few weeks ago when i wanted to play again SCCT with King-Kong installed (which included a newer SF version) and SCCT was always running (where king-kong needed the IDE to drives to be unplugged)

In fact, a part of SF drivers is installed on the computer but the most important part is in the game executable. So if the executable does not include the new protection features of the newer SF driver, u'll always be able to run it as before

The protection of the game can only be changed if u install a patch which will update the executable.
