![]() Improvement of anti-hacking mechanisms always leads to a compatibility slide and vice-versa. Two fundamental copy protection measurements, reliability and compatibility, are strictly connected to each other. That’s why StarForce engineers were tasked to develop really tough protection for regions with very high piracy levels. They simply couldn’t effectively protect. No solutions available on the world market at that time could suit the needs of Russian and Chinese publishers. Initially protection had been developed for piracy-rampant countries such as China and Russia. Why was the original StarForce anti-piracy program so invasive? How are your new programs different?Īs I said above, StarForce engineers had aimed to perform at a maximum protection level. Now, after 3 years of hard work, I may say with confidence that we managed to do it. It is very important to say that overall reliability had to be kept on the highest possible level. Our special End User department has been established and has the task of tracking game forums and blogs to create new technical requirements that have to be implemented into a completely new user-friendly solution. In 2006, company priorities were remapped. Since StarForce was established in 1998, during several years we were constantly improving the protection reliability level to suit corporate clients’ needs as much as possible, but the end user was partly forgotten. ![]() We have always tried to offer high-quality solutions that really protect. For us, the word “protection” has never been only the name of the company activity. Is the company doing things differently now?Īfter some PR problems that the company faced in 2006, we’ve considerably changed our mind towards copy protection aims. Many consumers in the game industry are distrustful of StarForce due to the anti-piracy software controversy that arose in 2006. To see just how the company might re-establish itself, we threw some questions at Dmitry Guseff, Deputy Marketing Director at StarForce Technologies. StarForce laid relatively low in the Western market for years, but the company recently emerged with a new version of its anti-piracy software and perhaps a new approach to assuaging customer complaints. The backlash against StarForce was unflattering, to put it delicately. StarForce’s response was a public-relations train wreck: the company threatened to sue one website, and a StarForce representative, hoping to show the importance of copy-protection, later posted links to pirate sites offering downloads of Galactic Civilizations 2. The Russian anti-piracy software company found itself in the spotlight early in 2006 when several websites and PC users criticized StarForce’s copy-protection measures, even stating that the software damaged computers. If you’ve heard of StarForce before, odds are it wasn’t in favorable circumstances. Now deactivate the RMPS in your DeamonTools but still run the program in the background. Than there is a ERROR: CD not found (or something like that)- but thats ok.
