RBR doesnt use Starforce!
The release version used SecuRom but the official patches got rid of
it, so you can even play without the DVD in the drive now.
Kudos to the developers (unfortunately out of business now)!

Yes, they're dead - but check out the latest AutoSimSport.

The lead on RBR has started development of a new sim.  It's designed to
be as moddable as rFactor, but with a really cool design that allows
modders to publish content as re-usable objects.  They can package them
up in locked sets, or let other modders use individual components.  The
author info stays with the content, so there's less chance of the
bickering over stolen work that seems to drive good modders away.
He's got some really clever ideas, and RBR (his first sim) was so great
I'm really looking forward to what may come of this.

Sounds a bit bad, like an invitation to use copy protection ;-)

Was there any substance in the story that some swedish / finnish
consortium had bought the RBR source code? I think I remember reading
something, but never heard more about the issue.

Cheers, uwe

Yes on XP, and I think it was tuned to work best with the Logitech
wheels IIRC (they actually unobtrusive had in-game ads).  Works great
with my Act-Labs as well.

Stop asking questions and buy it already ;)!

April Fool's joke - I had my hopes up, but never read the actual joke
announcement (claiming the "unrealistic" physics would be replaced with
the better physics from Colin McRae Rally 3) until I was fully
fished-in.

Thanks Dave H. ;)!

It looks like it's one of those rare games that don't use any apparent
protection. It doesn't require DVD, doesn't connect to the internet and
doesn't ask any verification questions.

Or you can use the Spyware infested Daemon Tools. Just to be sure.

It's on the Fedex truck as we speak.  Along with MYST V.  Now that the
Miller Brothers are on it again, MYST V should be a good one.

gogamer.com ships quick!

Whoa, wait a minute.....

Spyware in Daemon Tools?  When the hell did that happen?

Can anyone verify this?

Oh, man.  It looks like he is right :(

Daemon-Tools has gone WhenU.

This is a positively horrible situation.

That's pretty much the death of Daemon Tools.
