And this isn't just some story that I've read about online or in emails from readers. One of the leading brands, StarForce, is notorious for not only making it difficult for a small percentage of legitimate users to load up StarForce-protected games, but also for leaving potentially problem-causing StarForce software behind on your PC, even after you've deleted the game it was protecting. I'm okay with that in theory, but some of these anti-piracy software programs are so potent that they cause issues for legitimate game buyers. Here's what Greg Vederman, PC Gamer editor-in-chief, experienced: Until it reaches the latter stages most people do not even realise it is happening.

Starforce, on a regular basis, triggers this silent step down. A sure sign of this step down occurring is that the burn speeds will get slower and slower (no matter what speed you select to burn at). In some circumstances certain drives cannot cope with this mode and it results in physical hardware failure (Most commonly in multiformat CD/DVD writer drives). Eventually it will revert to 16bit compatibility mode rendering a CD/DVD writer virtually unusable. If these problems occur, the end-user would be unware as to the cause of the problem, and would be helpless to solve the problem.įor example, here's one of the common problems brought by Starforce: under Windows XP, if packets are lost during the reading or writing of a disk, XP interprets this as an error and steps the IDE speed down.

The Starforce drivers are often linked to system instability and computer crashes. Starforce has received criticism for installing its own device driver onto computers. It installs as a hidden device driver, without the end-user's knowledge or consent. Starforce is a software copy protection tool installed by PC game publishers, which is designed to prevent the casual copying of retail CDROM applications. This site tries to continue the work of R.I.P. If you wish to join this boycott, we encourage you to write the publisher, or post on their forum, and let them know.

I will provide a list of games that install the Starforce device drivers, as well as a list of publishers that incorporate Starforce. This site is here to provide information about the Starforce protection method, so that you can make your own informed decision. A lot of PC gamers have joined together, and decided not to purchase any PC games that use the Starforce copy protection method.
