Interesting Information (X3 Important)
Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 5:15 pm
Ok, the only reason wh yI am putting this in here is for the guys who have X3 or any of the games listed on the game list on this webpage in the link.
I recently came across this information regarding a little unknown file called Starforce that installs itself and hides on your computers by certain games. I dislike when companies like StarForce have to use sneaky meathods to create copy-protection software. I am talking about StarForce in this case, and it installs a hidden driver onto the system that without it, you cannot play StarForce protected games. It does this without your knowledge or your consent. The illegal installation of the driver is enough to get me pissed off, but add the problem that a driver is never 100% compatible with every system. No where in the End User Licence Agreement is it mentioned that it will install this driver. There is a removal tool, but once the driver is removed, you cannot play StarForce protected games. Some people have resorted to writing thier favorite software developers/publishers to have them remove StarForce for another copy protection. Here is the link to the site that is fighting StarForce, and it's evil ways:
Boycott Starforce
Yes X3: Reunion is listed in the games that installs Starforce.
