![]() My hat is off to the developers of StarForce. For as long as there has been software, there have been crackers- and they've always won. Fending them off for this long is completely unprecedented. There are legions of hackers and crackers out there. ![]() But the net result is that no-cd patches for games with the latest StarForce protection are rare.įor example, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, which was released early last year, has no known working no-cd patch as of today- almost a year later. Beyond that, the technical details are sketchy, probably to prevent crackers from gaining the upper hand. It's a kernel-mode device driver that talks directly to the IDE hardware to validate the CD or DVD. Unfortunately, finding no-cd patches is getting harder and harder because of a relatively new copy protection known as StarForce. But digging around for CDs or DVDs is impractical for dedicated gaming rigs, so I install no-cd patches when I can. I'm a big believer in supporting developers. I've recently been struggling with a number of racing sims I bought to use after work hours in our new racing cockpit.
