Notes

  1. This version of StarForce DRM does not work on Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or Windows 11.[1][2] For supported versions of Windows the StarForce driver may need to be updated manually using SFUPDATE.
  2. 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).
  3. 3.0 3.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:

  4. Verified by User:Silent on 2022-04-24
    This issue is caused by a mismatch of a DWM compatibility shim between the time the config is first saved (with the shim), and when it's read by the game (without the shim). By reconfiguring the game again, configs will be re-saved from a configurator running without that compatibility shim.
