Shadowblade Err... I dont know where you get your info but it is very wrong. Starforce is not uncrackable though I will never post any cracks or fixes. Bomb Bloke wrote You are correct most people who crack do buy the original, but why do you think they are promoting piracy? Most people just dont want Starforce on their PC's

Thanks pete

Thanks pete for your reply I was not expecting one. Pete Not really a seperate piece of software would imply that the game can run easily without it which it cant as you know. Me contact Starforce directly..hmm not really as Altar intrinsicly linked their prog to this software. I would not have any issues if the y did not. Altar are in fact also responsible as it is they who chose the protection and forced it onto the end user me. Discussed to death yeah well I am sorry about that I can understand why it would be boring for people to continually read the same old stuff over and over. Thing is though I am an Admin and Mod on many very large forums and read the same old stuff over and over but treat it like new as it is to that person. I am sorry if this is cross - topic, dead topic or just plain boring. I like this site and do not wish to upset any of the owners or trusted members. Lastly I have taken this up with Starforce on many occassions and I am not unaware of the integral workings of their software so I will not argue with anyone on technical points; they have their views and I have mine. I no longer run the game with their software so for me the problem is solved. I was just thinking of Altar and hoping they saw the light and how they were hurting their future sales of any new product. On a more interesting point I am glad you all believe that people will join the Modding bandwagon at leaast that is good news

I have three I am at the (spoiler sort of) Wargot stage playing on Super-Hero difficulty. 1 Male Trooper-Scout-Gunman level 26 2 Female Trooper-Scout-Gunwoman Level 26 3 Psionic Female Psionic-Medic-Technician Level 19 Own most of the planet though I have left Austrailia with one cultist base to localise my Laputa (as it really annoys me travelling all over the planet to defend my bases against cultist infiltration). Exceptionally difficult game I only use one troop on all my missions unless it is a mission which involves helping to lead people to a safe area then I use two. My troops are maxed out in all the stats they need to be and use all of the add-ons they can gather to suppliment their armour and weapons. I am still using conventional weapons even at this stage.

I bought the game and it is buggy though not that bad. It reminds me of the early Xcom games which is a compliment. Starforce is a real problem and a huge mistake by Altar sadly though the game makers take no responsibility for this and point you in the direction of the Starforce team. I bought the game from them though they feel I have to take up their problems with Starforce not good enough. I posted about Starforce problems on Altar's official forum but they deleted my posts and sent me an email telling me that they did not wish this type of post. I would like to thank Aralez for all the mod work he did on Aftermath class stuff. If people wish to take a real chance with their DVD firmware (because of Starforce) and operating systems then the game is excellent much better than Aftermath a big step in the right direction (that is back to the old style gameplay of XCom Terror from the deep). I have been playing and buying games for over 12 years now and spend a lot of money on them over $300 a month so you would expect that the companies would be interested in my thoughts but no they just want to delete my posts. Anyway to the original point if people like Aralez can help out I implore them to do just that. The game is excellent, could be much better with Mod input. The protection is dangerous and destructive, but I am fortunate to be in the position to take a money hit if the Starforce protection destroys my DVD or upsets my operating system. Excellent game, pathetic protection choice, needs Modders help please.
