Yeah, looks like it will. The Russian version came with Starforce, and I see to some extent it's also present in the demo (which is common, so pirates couldn't crack the real thing based on demo executable). It's no big deal though, as it takes a single click to remove the Starforce drivers if they cause any trouble, and no need to reboot or anything. And in the latest patch of the Russian version they removed copy protection altogether.

Well, I'm not going to buy any version of any game with Starforce in.
I really hope a digital delivery version is coming.

The game now runs without desactivating my dual screen... Weird. But cool.
Oh, another thing : I tried to activate the windowed mode via game.ini, but it doesn't seem to work. Any idea to fix that?

Ugh, I know, Vista, But bare with me.
I installed the game.
And then I try to run it and it says:

"Unable to access or modify the system registry. Make sure you have privileges to write to the system registry."

Now the game is running in admin mode and I don't have Dual screen's on.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi there!
I just downloaded the (French) demo and when I try to start the game an error pop-up says me that the d3dx9_33.dll is not found, even after re-installation. What can I do? Re-download?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It works now, thanks!

Oh hey Zenithale, yeah reinstalling Directx seems to be the solution, my littlebrother had the same problem with the game i think, but reinstalling Directx let him play the game.
