quesion with splinter cell 3
 

hi
i don't have SC3 yet but maybe i have a solution
(don't think it'll work but...why not ?)
why not replace the files of the game (the importants *.dll *.exe) by the files of the demo ?

No way, dont´work.

have you tried ?

First, some (fake!) "cracks" actually did this. Second, the demo is also protected by Starforce 3. At least, I think... I don't have the game...

but how the demo could be protected ? it doesnt need any cd or whatever

Much persons try it with demo files, but don´t work.

Demos of Starforce games are protected (there are some exceptions, but usually are protected), it´s right. The main *.exe and dlls are protected. Demo not scan for CDs, ok, but the exe and dlls are protected anyway, and are differents that full game.

No way with demo.

damn
so there's any way to make tha f***ing game working ?

Remember (forum rules), this forum, is a backup forum, all people have the original game when ask for their backup. OK, you ask for your future backup, when you will buy game.

Other ways to work for backup, that insert your original DVD

1) USB trick, you must have an external USB DVD drive, and follow a determined instructions (search forum for this)
2) Wait for crack. Undetermined date, maybe will not release any time.
3) Wait for new versions of Daemon-tools (DT) or Starforce nigthmare (rumors say that new version of DT is soon)
4) Other experimental and crazy ways :D

Patience.

May the rules be with me

Like what ? hey got an idea ! a crazy idea lol
try to write on your dvd
maybe it is the solution (like one of the last sony cd protection)

Yes, you could write (with heavy rough pen, obviously) on DVD: "BACKUP ORIGINAL GAME" :D

Power of imagination :D

Ok, there were others ways at time, as a hack for motherboard drivers with RAID for mount images in it, or write to starforce guys for a personal serial number what bypass scan CDs, and more.

Now, only USB trick, or wait for new DT or crack (not easy)

i'll wait for the new DT i think lol

Is the best way, for now.

Or wait for the publisher to get rid of this stupid copy protection in some future (final?) official update. Quite some sensible publishers did that in the past...

Yes, is other option, but is quite difficult in this case.

In every update of SC3, the starforce protection upgrade too in each update.

Maybe.

then try to crack the lowest version

1.0 :o
