I have to revise my statement here. Apparently the Starforce issues are resolved in that you online have to do an online activation. I don't think it must be connected like the SH5 installation though.

Which means depending on some factors I might add this one to the buy list.
But does it still trash your DVD drives, and block normal backups as well?  I will research it, but still dubious.
If it really is fixed, and just a simple online activation, I may buy.  But after my experience with it the first time, just the thought of Starforce makes me cringe.

I trust it about as much as I trust a politician.

I have LOMAC, FC2, and DCS: Black Shark. As far as I know, all the activation does is put a token into the registry that the game will recognize as a legitimate activation, and there is even an application out now that allows you to save the registry entry if you have to do a major hardware/OS change, this way you do not have to use another activation or deactivation. You have 8 activations and 10 deactivations I think, and you can acquire more if needed by contacting customer support with your proof of purchase.

I have DCS: Blackshark. Never had any problems with drives or activation. I've changed OSs several times, wiped my computer clean several more, and still, never an issue.
