Status: offline 		StarForce is a much-maligned copy protection program that installs itself on your PC without asking for permission or even given notification about itself. It has been known to cause severe damage to peoples' computers, including making it impossible to burn CD's and DVD's, and it's exceptionally difficult to get rid of, because it buries itself really deeply into your system. Even if you uninstall a StarForce "protected" game, this trojan (that is what it is) stays on your computer.

Status: offline 		I played it when it first came out and was pretty happy with it.  I stopped when it seemed to get monotonous and when the air cover became too cumbersome and accurate.  It basically became a conflict between having long transit distances to arrive at the patrol zone and not being able to effectively time compress due to the intense air umbrella.  This might be realistic but it makes for a lot of boring times staring at the map :-(

Aside from that when a convoy has been encountered then it is worth it's weight in gold.  I understand that SH4 is hoping to correct alot of this by having several small op areas as opposed to the whole atlantic and enhancing the dynamic campaign with non-patrol oriented orders such as picking up down flyers etc.

No -- hopefully. Ubi has dropped Starforce from their more recent games.

According to Wikipedia, Ubisoft dropped Starforce when customers complained.

I remember playing Darklands and one other, the title I can't remember, a secret service/spy type game.

Thanks for this info. I was unaware of Starforce. My SO's computer has been messed up for over a year and I knew it had something to do with a game she had played. We found and ran the Starforce removal utility and her machine now works much better.

This is the first forum for a game I've ever been on, so I wasn't aware of Starforce.
