Notes
- ↑ This version of StarForce DRM does not work on Windows Vista or later.[1][2][3][4] For supported versions of Windows the StarForce driver may need to be updated manually using SFUPDATE.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ Do not change the resolution to something like 1920x1080, the game has a maximum 1600 width resolution limit and the game will give you an error on launch if you do that. You'll be able to set the resolution to 1080p, 1440p, 4K or higher using dgVoodoo 2.
