If SoW follows this trend then I have to bear the pain and not purchase it for I absolutely refuse to sign away my own rights as customer and PC admin.

Wow! I was just making jokes, Oleg, and not seriously expecting you to provide sheep and cows in the scenery! Incredible!

Now I'm too embarressed to ask about the pretty 'milk maid'!

I feel the same way, bro! Unfortunately the system seems to work and a lot of people don't seem to mind the new copy protection (or complain about it and buy the game anyway!). So I guess more publishers will jump on the bandwagon. Sucks!

As posted in questions about SoW, it goes on with the check function.

implement the terrible must have anti piracy function in SOW. Due the many threads I can't locate the answer, so my apologies for this one, if possible refer to thread please.

Oleg, team(s), Olge,

As a virtual squadron (EAF, 1Java and my 322Squadron) we use Il2 since first release on Lan / museum events. On several occasions there is NO connection to the net to authenticate anti piracy. What are the options to run the network missions on such occasions?

Regards.

Animals! Great. Just make sure Daniel stays away from the sheep.
I bet he is from Maine, USA.
Maine, where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.;)

About the DRM, stayed away from RoF because of it. Now that they
got rid of it I'll buy the boxed Iron Cross that will be released soon.

I think StarForce ProActive (such as seen in DCS: Black Shark and Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2) is the way to go.

It is easy to use, doesn't install any driver and works with activation. Once you type the activation key, it removes itself from the computer. Then it's just having fun with your brand-new game without worrying with any DRM.

I've never seen any problems related to that - it works for both sides: makes a pirate's life harder without bothering the costumers.

I can't see why it shouldn't be used.

Because it's starforce and regardless of how harmless it is in it's current form people do not easily forget the way the company treated people, some will refuse to buy on principle alone.

You'll never make everybody happy.

Used to make me mad seeing all the IL2 pirates in Hyperlobby, if you can afford a pc to play BoB on you can afford to buy BoB, but we all know that many will pirate it and I'd dearly like to see the community shun those chose to deny Oleg and crew from their hard earned cut.

I hear that Maddox 1c company bought Volvo!
