Phillip Black Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Just a warning to everyone out there. I was looking at picking up a copy of the new "Age of Pirates" from Akella/Playlogice today, but before I did, I did some research. Apparently, Age of Pirates uses the Starforce copy protection software which has known issues causing loss of drive capabilities, hard drive crashes, blue screens and more. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME, unless you have a junk computer you don't mind screwing up for just this game. Apparently, Playlogic is also stonewalling the customer's comments on their forums about it. Eventually, there might be a Starforce-less edition (I hope) but until then, just because it's a game about pirates, you don't have to treat your customer's like pirates. Sea Captain: Yar, that be handsome pete, he dances on the pier for nickels! Sea Captain: Arrr... you gave him a quarter, he'll be dancin all day.
The Doctor Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 According to "GrayAngel", an Akella rep, a patch is in the works to remove the StarForce protection scheme in addition to fixing a number of bugs. :) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
