Starforce copy protection beaten with trick ?

January 21, 2002

cdmate used our newssubmit to tell us that on the CD-Mate forum there is a posting of someone that says to have beaten the StarForce (read here for more info) protection.

It seems more that the protection contains a bug then that's it really beaten as it seems a little to easy. The way it is bypassed is more a trick (as also the poster names it)

I can finally managed to run backup disk!

There is a trick present.

Steps:

Copy disk

Install game from copy(not original). Unstall if prev. installation is present.

Run autorun.

Press button to game.

Immediately via windows shortcut delete prodrv03.sys!

Voila! The game runs...
