EtherealN Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 To clarify: what is required is specifically Lock On. As Viper indicates, this has no starforce protection. If you are seeing Starforce errors in Win7, this is because you are using FC1. FC1 is not required. If you update drivers for FC1, this will work, but if you have LO without FC1, just install that.

Yes FC2 works fine..but I tried to go in and do a few flights with Lock On..and I get this Starforce error..just for Lock On...not FC2 Edited August 27, 2012 by Double_D [TABLE][/url][sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic89949_15.gif[/sIGPIC][/Table] Recruiting for Aerobatic Team/Fighter Group...

159th_Viper Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 That's not LockOn - that's LockOn Flaming Cliffs, ie LockOn 1.12a/b. You possibly have conflicting installs or the like. As said, LOMAC definitely does not have SF - only introduced with FC1. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

FLANKERATOR Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sometimes the desktop shortcut keeps pointing to FC1 if you have it installed even after re-installing LOMAC vanilla.

HiJack Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 There is no point in starting LockOn if you have not appliad patch 1.12b first. It runs fine on my Win 7 64 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiJack Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I had to start it up again, and it runs fine but my A-10 was mission some of the graphics. Tried a track also that did not run very good so ther might be issues ;) I'll play some more with it some other night. Recomended to watch is "The Crimean Tour" by Ironhand :D I think the video is awailable for download on Flanker training. (HJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurf667 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 than please update the starforce divers http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip Hi Guy's I know that this is an old thread, and that 159th Viper helped me solve a problem and got me running Flaming Cliffs 1.12b on Windows 7, by pointing me to the above sfdrvup.zip. Next problem, anybody got flaming cliffs 1.12b working on Windows 8 or 8.1, if so how, as I keep getting an error message, from starforce, saying that Activation "can be launched with Windows 95 osr 2.1/98/me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/server 2003 only" I've tried running flaming cliffs in XP compatibility mode, Protect.exe in XP compatibility mode, both in XP compatibility mode, but to no avail. Anybody help at all? (oh before anybody suggests upgrading to flaming cliffs 2 or 3, already got it, but would like to play 1.12b too) Thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmertz Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 HATE that Starforce. Was in the UBIsoft Silent Hunter series at one time and gave nothing but complete headaches for ligit installs. Surprised it's still around, though I understand copyright paranoia still runs rampant over there, but there's got to be a better system. Nothing worse than paying for something then find out due to "copyright" protection you can't even use what you ligitamently purchased anyways.
