I got it working at last!!!

I didn't used starforce nightmare and disabled everything manually...but i disabled everything except the thin i needed for the image...

I rightclicked C and went to hardware...i disabled it all (i have lots of drives that i don't even know for what they are for and they didn't got disabled by starforce nightmare so i did it manually and it worked!!!)

Could you tell me what devices you disabled?

that way I could give it a try to, as I tried to disable my DVD-Rom and DVD-/+RW drive and my 2nd IDE channel but it did not work

I have an official copy to and it works with the sfcure

Is ur cd-key wrong? if so just email ubisoft and they will send u another one
but remember
the install key is only the top line of that little sticker on the inside of the case
not those 7 numbers/letters underneath
fucked me up when I tried to install it for the first

like the sticker should have a row of letters/numbers

like this - xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx
then a lil number line underneath

so itd be like this

Instal key - xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx- xxxx

Only enter the top line as thats the install key, i dunno what the other number is for

I know how it works, but I can't even start the game from the freaking legit cd! I also entered a valid cd-key that one passed, but my system just hangs at the progess bar at 25% and doesn't go any further. No matter if I try SFcure or use the legit cd to start the game it just always hangs, and it's a starforce problem honestly as I got another Starforce 3 game legit and has the exact same problem. And it is definately starforce that is the problem as all other games with other copy protections run fine. This will also be the last starforce title Ill ever buy!

ok, no luck here then, ... That's why copyprotections suck IMHO, I like to buy games that deserve being bought just to sponser the creators of that game and motivate them to create other great games, but I hate it so much they build in these copyprotections, they'll better spend their money on the development!
I for example love SWAT4, I bought play it for hours but if I want to keep everything official I have to leave the disc in my drive where it gets hot as hell, spinning like crazy + risc of scratching it without the abbility to make a backup copy

FUCK YOU STARFORCE, SECUROM and all other wanking copyprotection firms Twisted Evil

Interesting update:

On a German forum some people confirmed that they made a working USB-clone of World Racing 2. This game uses the newest SF version 3.6.xx.xx. The USB-clone runs after the powercable of the internal IDE DVD and CD-drives has been removed. This I think gives us hope that a high DPM-clone should also be possible to play with sfcure. At least it is nice to hear that the Starfuckers crew still werent able to fix usb-method!

Ok...Heres my version of how to get it to work.

- Downloaded and installed service pack 2
- Downloaded the LeatherFace image and renamed it to the snake one
- Installed sfcure and started it
- Mounted the LeatherFace image and installed the game
- I got the protection message from the installation so i rebooted
- Disabled node through staforce nightmare (nothing else)
- Disabled ALL drives except for the drive where the image was on by rightclicking C->properties->hardware
- I replaced the leatherface image by the default snake one (the one that comes with the download)
- Used a tool that starts the sfcure for you (its called SF Anti File System Blocker)
- Pressed start sfcure
- It automaticly rebooted my pc but im not sure if this has to be or it might just been a strange error
- Disabled node again through starforce nightmare (all drives except the image drive where still disabled)
- Used the program again and clicked start sfcure.
- Tried to start game
- Entered the 2Q4... key
- It checked, hung for a second (i was almost crying) and then it passed (i was yelling out fuck u starforce)
- I played. Smile

This was done using the: Splinter_Cell_Chaos_Theory_PCMulti_By_Snake.mdf

for all people who are unable to get splinter cell working with sfcure: Please download another image, the version you are using is most likely not a proper one.
I had the same issue in the beginning, first I believed it was like popele said because of the nforce or AMD 64 bit processor but it aint. Doanloaded another release and it's working as a charm now

What I did:

-installed bad release and tried everything
-Download good release
-disable node and cd in sfnightmare
-started sfcure03_64
-start game
-played it like crazy Very Happy

I already tried removing and re-installing the Starforce drivers.
I also tried 3 different SCCT images none of them work.

I even made my own DPM image on my server from my legit CD's but it just does not work Sad

BTW: Did anyone have any BSODs after a few minutes when you stop the SFCure Service? with the error device_not_ready or something similair?

I often have, but right after I press space after message 'service stopped, press nay key'
I run Trackmania Sunrise just now, so I think my problem is incorrect scct image...

Let's say i have SFCure.CloneDVD of any game and I don't wanna install SFCure driver coz I don't have SP2.. So can I just burn the image and play it on external USB drive? What about SFClone's? Can I burn those and play on external USB too?

Yes you can do that, it has already been confirmed that you can also use the Sfcureclones on your external USB-drive. But dont forget to pull out the cables of your internal IDE DVD and CD-drives or else Starforce will ask you to put the disc into another drive (from SF version 3.5.xx.xx and higher).
But I dont know if the Sfclones released by Mirror will also work on an external USB-drive, that will probably depend on the media you burn them on.

Thanx for the quick answer! Just one more thing, do SFClone releases work with SFCure?
