StarForce announces release of SF 4.70.005.006 update

If I had a fanclub like that, I wouldn't waste my time on forums

@Reef
Can you confirm or deny that this is yourself with your fan club ??

[Reef]

US releases of games usually don't have SF anymore (I guess publishers are afraid of lawsuits), so if any SF protected game should be released here in Europe, I will just buy the US version through importmadness.com.

[Kinlaadare]

Didn't know that. What a pity...

[dm_gammer]

Yes, but russian version has sf 4.5.

[Kinlaadare]

By the way, this is not the good thread. NWN2 is securom protected.

[Reef]

Sounds like simple blacklisting (which in fact is a sign of weakness)

4.70.006.004, 02.02.07
Install with patch. Before - starforce 4.5.
When run from image - message, that emulation program detected.
Game: neverwinter nights russian, patch 1.04.

Nobody can protect thier forum if it used open source engine. Even with all security patches. To have safe forum its need to wright your own engine.

Unless you know what you are doing and can custom code and fix any potential exploits that are not uncovered yet and secure any variables, ect.. used in the forum software. If you are expecting something like PHPBB, vBulletin, ect.. to be secure from a vanilla install even with latest updates, then yeah, you would be right. However, even so you do not need to write a complete forum from the ground up to make it secure, you simply need to know what you are doing and know how to go through, find, and secure things if they are coded in a way that could be potentially exploited. My own forums have had over 1800 hack attempts according to raw logs and the custom logging code I had wrote for it, not one has gotten in yet. but again, one thing I do know is PHP Security specifically. And im talking everything ranging from XSS to SQL Injection. Nothing is ever 100% even if you wrote your own, but you can make it damn close.

I dissagree, and i think the hacking excuse is lame, hell if you cant protect your own servers how do you expect to protect a companys software.

Get the forum open again, it gave the possible customers of your product a chance to see how the end user of their products view your protection system. Maybe thats why its closed ???

What answer do you like to recive?

In which version will the long announced backup tool be introduced ? What kind of DRM will it use ?

Version 4.7. Same as StarForce ProActive shema.

[Terramex]

That's why the optical media should be excluded from the game. The "backup" technology will make DT useless.

In which version will the long announced backup tool be introduced ? What kind of DRM will it use ?

P.S.: Ever heard of moderated forums ?

Please let it closed!

dunno
I belive that forum is important thing for all softaware companies, but seems that i'm alone with this point of view here.
Imho - when we'v opened forums we wanted to help users and make talk on copy protection in general, but recived almost only bashing, silly spamming and hackers attaks. In that situation forums seems haven't realized its role and after one serious haker invasion has been closed.
May be some time we will reopen it.

Hey Nerva, when will your forum be up again? I dare you
