UBISOFT Europe uses Starforce 3.
SO every game UBISOFT release in Europe first will be Starforce 3.

UBISOFT America uses Safedisc 4.

So get it in your minds and stop saying SF3 this SF3 that please, this thread is about the game not about the protection. Smile



MAYBE the us version use safedisc 4 ???

Let's hope so. Very Happy

It's not out in sweden, believe me I've checked, but webhallen.com DID ship pre-ordered copies WAY to early because of the f'ing 5 day easter weekend, some lucky wankers got the game last thursday.
The stores themselves won't sell the game over counter until the 31'st :/

Lol don't count on it :/.

Seems like companies like bringing out patches afterwards because they don't have to delay the release date, which doesn't bother me as long as the patch actually fixes the problems and is released around the release date of the game.

If the patch has a updated exe I can check if it is safedisc or starforce. However, the exe is stored in a .RTP file which the installer extracts to the C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\bye44E.tmp\Disk1\Patch directory. Anyone have any software that can extract a .RTP file?

Suffice to say i dont see the point in getting this if you already have the ps2 version? i remember palle or someone talking about a ps2 only feature where you can actually drown enemies in environmental water!.......if the pc version has i-net multiplayer ala Pandora Tommorow then maybe its worth getting.

look at the reviews, the ps2 version is not as good as the pc.version, if you want the full gaming experience you should definately get the pc-version.

Pocket Software writes auto-patching software like that, it's a common extension however, if you dig around inside the RTP file you should find out what company wrote it, they usually leave the company tags when it's compiled. Finding the program to extract an RTP can be more difficult.

from the patch readme:

2. Activation

================================================================================

The game DVD contains a protection system that needs to be activated in order to
be able to play. The key is located on the inside cover of the DVD box. It has
the form XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

I think this means that it only has a normal cd key protection, because it says nothin about a key on your cd.

You can't extract from a RTP file really. The way RTPatch works is basically like a 'diff' for binaries--they compare the contents of patched and unpatched directories, and then compile the changes into a RTP file. It doesn't store complete files unless the files didn't exist previously, just the parts of each file which are different between the two versions.

http://www.pocketsoft.com/whitepapers/whitepaper.html if you're really curious about how the program works.

The demo ran perfectly fine at 1280*1024 everything maxed with my x800 pro VIVO. I seriously doubt you'll notice any difference between the nvidias and the ATIs in this game, since it's not really that FPS dependant like other shooter games like HL2 etc.
