I have LOMAC Gold (with Flaming Cliffs) but have never put the Flaming Cliffs version on my machine because of Starforce (just run LOMAC 1.1). If I happen to get Black Shark (which unfortunately will install Starforce anyway) will that version of Starforce cover off Flaming Cliffs also or will I have to do something else to get FC working (the sticky mentions that there were version problems with Starforce and Vista) Thanks...

Ricob,

There are a number of misunderstandings conveyed in your post. First of all, LOMAC 1.1 is Flaming Cliffs. So either you are playing Flaming Cliffs (v1.1, v1.11, or v1.12) or you are playing LOMAC without Flaming Cliffs (v1.00, v1.01, or v1.02).

Second, Black Shark has nothing to do with LOMAC/FC (except of course for BS being the evolution of the product design). If you install BS, you will still need to install Flaming Cliffs (and its associated version of StarForce) if you want to play Flaming Cliffs.


kramer,
This is a installation / technical question. It belongs in this forum.

i am sorry. i was going to answer his question, but i thought that if i did that someone would come along and tell me that i should not have discussed Starforce here.

Think of the DRM forum as a place to discuss DRM and copy protection from a broad and philosophical perspective - why developers use it, why members like and dislike certain forms of it, etc. A game-specific question should always go in that game's forum.

Ricob,

If you're asking whether Flaming Cliffs will use the newer Starforce distro that comes with Black Shark, the answer is no - each game uses its own driver which must be integrated with the executable (at least that is my understanding).

Update Flaming Cliffs to version 1.12b, this patch contains a newer version of StarForce which is compatible with Vista and XP Pro 64-bit edition.

Happy Flying!
