TOCA RACE Driver 3 out

TOCA Race Driver 3 is reportedly been released. The bad news is that Codemasters is still using Starforce protection on their software. The pics and movies look pretty decent. You can race anything from go carts,dirt modifieds,4x4 trucks,muscle cars to street modifieds to F1 cars. But starforce protection, come on. I cant risk another system to this system destroyer.

So you are categorically stating that Starforce destroyed your system ? Did you take them to court ?

Don't Starforce offer �25,000 reward if anyone can prove their software 'breaks' anything? Andi. "redTed" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:43f9e549$0$21279$[email hidden]...

Yes. But you have to pay your own way to Moscow and reproduce the problem repeatedly for them to pay up. "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:43f9ee58$0$6998$[email hidden]...

The contest is over and it was a BS contest anyway. They said you had to prove SF physically damages the DVD-RW drive. No one has claimed that that I have seen. Starforce has been shown to stop some burners from being able to burn disks until SF is removed, there are some other claims but I have listed one and that is reason enough not to trust SF. I have some SF protected games but I won't buy any more. Ubisoft even say on the box to their recent games with Starforce that the CP software may not be compatible with all burners and virtual drives. If Starforce was problem free, as these shills claim, then why would they state that fact on the box? Oh, and don't expect your old Starforce protected games to run on Vista either unless the publisher releases a patch to make them do so.

Just last week some guy said SF broke 2 drives.... Proof of anything doesnt matter to you or any of your conspiracy theorist brethren... You'll just wiggle into another senseless and stupid diatribe about SF being the devil incarnate without proof of anything... Just wait a few years and you will look back on SF as a very convenient copy protection scheme. Its going to get worse and you fools/crooks are the reason not the answer...

There are enough people that have real evidence that SF fucks with their drives that I don't give a fuck what some goof ball software industry apologist nancy boy says.

Hi, FYI you've got a software problem with your ng reader/poster - it's putting in capital "M"s where there should be capital "B"s. HTH. Have a nice day.

I can state that it affected the operation of my CDRW drive. I was not able to select but a 16X write speed on a 40X drive after a few months after startforce install. I removed the starforce protection and immediately upon reboot, it showed that I could write at 40X speed.. Can you explain that coincidence? Regardless, Toca Race Driver 3 (getting back on the subject matter) looks very nice. I would download the demo (which is now available) but alas, it has starforce protection too. I guess the only option to test it would be to download the protection removed version since they have now figured out how to remove this trash from the game. Its a shame when you want to purchase a worthy game but cant due to products installed that can harm your sytem Has anyone downloaded the demo yet??? How does it handle? Are the physics better than GTL ??? THanks for any input.

The Toca series is arcade and GTL is considered a simulation so you are not going to get better physics in Toca3 than you get with GTL. If you want lots of different cars to drive and good physics then you should get yourself a copy of rFactor. rFactor also has no Starforce like Toca3 and GTL does.
