Disable IDE channel not working for starforce 3.6 and above.

If u have starforce 3.5 or less protected games then it definetly work.

Starforce 3.6 need to unplug the IDE for playing the game.

Hmm.., it doesnt work for me. Im running SCCT with starforce version 3.5. I disabled my drives AND my secondary IDE channel, it still don't work. Get the message to put the cd in another drive.

Anyway, i've preordered POP:T2T, comes out on the 9th in the UK, but i aint gonna be bovered to unplug my drives. just play with the disk. Had to rollback to dt 3.47, had problems with 4.

Hey, I myself usually use daemon-tools cause it's easier and I can safely keep my CD's. But in the case of the starforce protection, using daemon-tools is actually more hassle for. So I would like to play the game iwth teh original DVD in the DVD drive. But I heard that even if you do not use daemon-tools to play this game it makes you ninstall daemon-tools. Now I still uise daemon-tools for other games, so I do not want to do that. Now my question is, is this true, is there an easy workaround. If anyone knows please post.
I'm sure some of you must have tested the game before trying to play it with daemontools, and could you play it normally while not having to uninstall daemon-tools.

[NetSoerfer]

That's not true. As far as I've experienced it, StarForce doesn't care if Daemon Tools v4 is installed or not if the game is run from an IDE drive.

So has anyone gotten the game to work without the actual DVD (and without having to unplug physical drives) yet? If so, could you give me some step by step instructions on how to do it?

[Vulcan Raven]

That would be great, but are you absolutely sure.
Cause on the official ubisoft forums they say this:

REMOVE YOUR VIRTUAL DRIVE SOFTWARE
If you have any kind of virtual drive software installed and are having trouble launching the game then uninstall virtual drive programs completly. You may you have to reinstall the game afterwards to fix the problem.

Have you treid it yourself. Oh and I sue version 3.47 cause my PC has problems with v.4. I thought I'd say that just in case.
Now I have tried to post this 6 times allready, But every time it says I posted it but the post does not show.

morning

apsexx it doesn't work for me... but the question is why?
any suggestions?

Just unplug optical IDE drives.

[Rascar]

Okay, so I tried to disable the EDI controllers, but as you can see I could only disable the secondary one, because the other two don't have the 'disable' option:

What to do, what to do...

[morph55]

hello

i unplugged the cables of the ide drives; deactivate the ide drives in the device manager; use SFN; use SFcure but it doesn't work at all.
what is the problem? my hardware? i have a Athlon 64 X2, Asus Mainboard with nforce4 SLI chipset, mdt 2gb dual channel ram and a geforce 7800gtx .... but it won't work...
only this error appears when SF checks the disk: "The entered key was not detected for the disk. Please check the correctness of the key."

what can i do?

same problem at knights of the temple 2, scct and so on ... no SF game want to start...

Hi
My first post, and i have become a customer through sendit yesterday, so hi everyone.

Every starforce game after 3.4 will work in dt4 by disconnecting ide drives as i have tested everyone as i have access to all originals, and the simple answer why yours won't work mesh0r is because you DO NOT have a true image of your original.

The reasons are that you are creating your image with starforce drivers loaded and this will f$$k the dpm in alcohol.

So create your starforce image in alcohol on a drive that is starforce free.

The settings i use are dpm normal 4 speed read speed 8 and it works every time in a pioneer and asus burner.

And stay away from sfn its a shitty piece of software.

I have running at the moment from a 100% true image with emulation options off.
GTR
X3
CROSS RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP
GT LEGENDS
KING KONG


GTR and CRC will run if you disable your ide controller "only" the others need your drives disconnected.

So i have mobile racks in my rig and use a drive for burning then transfer the image to another drive i run games,and i could produce the exact starforce errors you receive if i try to make an image with starforce drivers loaded.

[morph55]

That's not true. As far as I've experienced it, StarForce doesn't care if Daemon Tools v4 is installed or not if the game is run from an IDE drive.

True and if you have an image loaded in DT4 and the original in an ide drive and try and run the game starforce will say you have two copys in drives and to remove one

Well i am absolutely sure that its a load of rubbish that you have to uninstall your virtual drive to get your game running and if you can't its a lame excuse by ubisoft :wink:

You see this can be an excuse by companys not to give you support because you are running DT4 and they know very well you can run a backup
